Magento – Shipping Price Based On Manufacturer Attribute

magento-1.7magento-1.8

I have a unique requirement from client for setting shipping charges from them. The requirement is as follows.

1) They are having products from different parts of the world.
2) They need to set shipping price based on brands of that product.
3) It is same like Brands Vs Destination table rates.

What they need is this

Here the shipping cost is for 1 product. its something like Brand VS No Of Items Vs Destination.

Can anyone help me in this. Also please let me know if there are any extensions available for it.

That one is a complex one, you need dynamic pricing, Magento does not work on that basis.

It is multiple times worse if you ship internationally with multiple checkout currencies. We know exactly what you need, however your description does not fully take in to account the business process. Normally it is COGS calculations, then duties and markup, then discounts, then shipping outbound from the warehouse to the destination, if you are working on a drop-ship basis it is a different calculation. Shipping is normally only one part of the problem, rolling the COGS and markup calculations in to it will cause other issues. We use a solution from enterprise consultants who worked with systems such as SAP, Magento does not have that level of functionality built in to it.

As already suggested you can adapt the shipping calculations however from your description it sounds like issue is the complete supply chain rather than the end point.

Magento – Setting up custom Shipping method based on Weight & Distance

I've realised it really is quite simple to do! I've used Table rates and added the custom variables to the CSV file then uploaded it. Delivery cost is calculated by weight v destination and all is fine. Next, I will create a custom module Called Fastway as my shipping method and hopefully that is done.

Lastly I need to add the tracking numbers!

Magento 1.7 – How to Change Shipping Rate Based on Shipping Address

I found the solution from this link here : http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/316685/
In my observer I added below code to change my shipping rates as per country selection in shipping address.

class Pnk_Zones_Model_Observer
{
    public function getShippingMethods($observer)
    {
        $session = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session');
        $quote=Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote();
        $quoteid=$quote->getId(); 
        if($quoteid) {                    
        try{
                $address=$quote->getShippingAddress();
                if($address->getAddressType()=='shipping'){
            //    echo '<pre>'; print_r($events->getQuoteAddress()->getData()); exit;
                //$price=40;
                $countryId = $address->getCountry();
                //Code to get Shipping rate from my zone module //
                $shippingRateCollection = Mage::getModel('zones/zones')->getCollection();
                $shippingRateCollection->addFieldToSelect('*');
                $shippingRateCollection->getSelect()->where("find_in_set('".$countryId."', `countries`)");


                foreach ($shippingRateCollection as $shipping){
                    $price = $shipping->getShippingRate();
                }
//              echo "Price = ".$price;
                // Find if our shipping has been included.
                $rates = $address->collectShippingRates()
                         ->getGroupedAllShippingRates();

                foreach ($rates as $carrier) {
                    foreach ($carrier as $rate) {
                        // Check with your custom shipping method code
                if($rate->getCode() == 'zones'){
                            $rate->setPrice($price);
                            $rate->save();
               }
                    }
                }
                    $this->collectTotals($quote,$price);
                }            
                $quote->collectTotals();
            } catch (Exception $e) {            
                Mage::logException($e);
                $response['error'] = $e->getMessage();
            }
        }
    }   

    public function collectTotals($quote,$price){
        $quoteid=$quote->getId(); 
        $shippingcode='freeshipping_freeshipping';
        if($quoteid) {                    
                try{
                $quote->setSubtotal(0);

                $quote->setSubtotalWithDiscount(0);
                $quote->setBaseSubtotalWithDiscount(0);
                $quote->setGrandTotal(0);
                $quote->setBaseGrandTotal(0);

                $quote->getShippingAddress()->setShippingMethod($shippingcode)/* ->collectTotals() */->save();
                $quote->save();
                foreach ($quote->getAllAddresses() as $address) {
                    $address->setSubtotal(0);
                    $address->setBaseSubtotal(0);

                    $address->setGrandTotal(0);
                    $address->setBaseGrandTotal(0);

                    $address->collectTotals();

                    $quote->setSubtotal((float) $quote->getSubtotal() + $address->getSubtotal());
                    $quote->setBaseSubtotal((float) $quote->getBaseSubtotal() + $address->getBaseSubtotal());

                    $quote->setSubtotalWithDiscount(
                        (float) $quote->getSubtotalWithDiscount() + $address->getSubtotalWithDiscount()
                    );
                    $quote->setBaseSubtotalWithDiscount(
                        (float) $quote->getBaseSubtotalWithDiscount() + $address->getBaseSubtotalWithDiscount()
                    );

                    $quote->setGrandTotal((float) $quote->getGrandTotal() + $address->getGrandTotal());
                    $quote->setBaseGrandTotal((float) $quote->getBaseGrandTotal() + $address->getBaseGrandTotal());

                    $address->setShippingAmount($price);
                    $address->setBaseShippingAmount($price);
                    $address->save();
                }

                    $response['message'] = 'Succcess';
                } catch (Exception $e) {            
                        Mage::logException($e);
                        $response['error'] = $e->getMessage();
                 }
        }
    }
