I am working on a Drupal Commerce site, we are trying to add a feature in the cart that would allow the user to input their zip/postal code or country and receive an estimate on shipping, before proceeding through the checkout. I'm new to Drupal Commerce, so maybe this functionality already exists?
a shove in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
link- https://drupal.org/project/commerce_shipping Commerce Shipping provides a shipping rate calculation system for Drupal Commerce , integrating shipping service selection into both the checkout form and order edit form. This module is a framework that is meant to be used in conjunction with shipping method modules like Commerce Flat Rate , Commerce UPS , and others. Shipping service availability and rate calculation is handled in the user interface through Rules and is backed up by an API that gives you a high level of flexibility to implement simple or complex shipping scenarios.
yes - use commerce_shipping
add in the Shopping cart form (Commerce Order) view, and Shopping cart block (Commerce Order) view - if used, the Commerce Order: Order total to the footer, as the line item summary does not display the shipping line item .., rearrange the order, like this:
and hide the total in the Commerce Line Item: Line item summary (makes only sense in block view ;), in the cart view just remove the line item summary), like this:
then - create a shipping rule and add the following event:
(the default event is needed when the user changes it on the shipping step, or where you configured the shipping service in the checkout settings - if you remove the default event the rule will no longer show up in the shipping calculations rules, but only on the general rules UI)
setup your condition, fe:
and choose the action:
now, if desired, you can gracefully disable the shipping service in the checkout settings.
and don't forget to make a rule for every case, even the 'inital' one.
