Magento – Magento Shipping estimate doesn’t work

cartmagento-1.9shippingshipping-methodsshopping-cart

I have a problem with my shipping estimate, I can't trace the problem…

The thing is that when I choose any country from the list and click on Estimate and Update nothing happens…

Table rates are set.
Shipping methods are contry based, so if you choose any other country than Spain, only internation shipping should appear.

There are no errors, nothing, where should I search for indicators of the problem?

I've found this line in cartController.php:

    /**
 * Estimate update action
 *
 * @return null
 */
public function estimateUpdatePostAction()
{
    $code = (string) $this->getRequest()->getParam('estimate_method');
    if (!empty($code)) {
        $this->_getQuote()->getShippingAddress()->setShippingMethod($code)/*->collectTotals()*/->save();
    }
    $this->_goBack();
}

I don't know if the /* has to do anything with it… I didn't change anything there, so I assume it's by default like that?

If someone interested in seeing it in action, here's the link: Store Link

Thanks guys,

The method looks fine. I would strongly suspect you have a problem in the tablerate carrier with it not matching on a rule.

Switch on flat rates, and first see if this works. If it does then it is a problem with the tablerates.

I suggest you go back to a very simple tablerate, and check in the database after you upload that the data is there - this is table shipping_tablerate.

If you continue to have issues and you are in the tablerate carrier then its going to be because it cannot find a matching rule. You can use PHPStorm to debug this and inspect the sql being sent, but tbh if you get to that point you have to be pretty desperate, you should spot before then.

If its not showing flat rates either then I suggest you ensure that allowed destinations is set on the carriers, and then really you need to debug Shipping_Model_Shipping to see why its failing.

Cart Shipping Methods – How to Select Default Shipping Method

You need to create your custom shipping method.

To do so, create a custom class extended from Mage_Shipping_Model_Carrier_Abstract, and start writing your business logic code inside overloaded collectRates method.

class Arturas_CountryBasedShipping_Model_Shipping_Carrier_ShippingMethod extends Mage_Shipping_Model_Carrier_Abstract {

    protected $_code = 'countrybasedshipping';

    public function collectRates(Mage_Shipping_Model_Rate_Request $request) {
        // skip if not enabled
        if( !Mage::getStoreConfig( 'carriers/' . $this->_code . '/active' ) ) {
            return false;
        }

        // Fetching a country based price
        $cb_price = $this->getCountryShippingPrice( $request->getDestCountryId() );

        $result   = Mage::getModel('shipping/rate_result');
        $method   = Mage::getModel('shipping/rate_result_method');

        $method->setCarrier($this->_code);
        $method->setMethod($this->_code);
        $method->setMethodTitle('Contry Based Shipping');
        $method->setCost($cb_price);
        $method->setPrice($cb_price);

        $result->append($method);

        return $result;
    }
}

Magento – Magento, programmatical checkout not including shipping rates

If you follow your written procedure as a human using the interface. Does the rate show up with the correct information? Is that user able to use that rate? Are the rate settings correct?

To me it looks like your trying to replicate the checkout process which might not be your way to go. Can you tell me some more about where and how you try to run this code? Custom module, template file, php file in root etc. Be as specific as possible when asking questions here. I ran your code and it doesn't work at all on my end as i expected. There are some odd things going on. I suggest you take a good look at a working example. I found this article, now the article itself doesn't have the example. i'm talking about but one of the commentors who posted a really nice example which you can run from your root directory. I tested it on magento 1.9.1 with sample data and it works like a charm.

The developers at Inchoo write really good articles like this one: http://inchoo.net/magento/programmatically-create-order-in-magento/

Following the code which works in my demo shop. I'm sure if you look closely at this you'll solve your problem. Just let me know if you get stuck again. Good luck ;)
