Priorty Mail Option

Although we offer free shipping for the most part, we need to charge extra for Priority Mail. I don't want to set up formal shipping but can I use the shipping tab in eCart to add a choice of "Priority Mail" or "Parcel Post"?

I've tried everything in the charges and shipping tab of eCart to set a custom expression to trigger a $5 dollar shipping fee for this. I tried a dropdown and radio buttons in the same form as everything else on the shopping cart page.

I followed the tutorial for a couponCode and it works great using sessions. Is there a tutorial for other charges and shipping?

Thanks for your continued support.

Just store the result of your post as a session variable. It would need to be stored on the confirm page with the rest of the session variables. Then refer to that session variable when creating a charge just like couponCodes.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...
