Collect in Store shipping option
Is there a way to offer in-store collection but not have it as the default shipping option?
Initially I thought setting it up as a zero-cost shipping option would be the best way but this way it gets chosen as the cart default and I really don't want that.
So I guess I'm asking - can we set a default shipping option that is not the cheapest shipping option?
Are you using
perch_shop_shipping_method_form()? You should be able to edit theshippings/method_form.htmltemplate to add avalueto the<perch:input type="select" />field.Hmm. That does set the default option in the shipping form
selectelement, but what I'm after is changing (or setting) the default shipping method that is applied to a cart, before the user even touches the shipping method form.At the moment, shipping methods seem to be ordered alphabetically (in the CMS), and it seems that when I add an item to the cart it applies the top-most alphabetically sorted shipping method by default.
So for instance, my shipping options are titled:
If I delete Collect in store (or rename it), then First Class gets applied by default to a new cart.
It sounds like we need to add a configurable Order field to those, in that case.
We're actually sorting by the lowest price first - or it's supposed to be. Do you have multiple options that are free?
Actually, scratch that, we're supposed to be sorting on price but we're sorting on nonsense. Taking a look at it.
Give Shop 1.0.5 a try - you can now set the priority of each shipping method.
Thanks Drew. Will give it a whirl.
Yep. That's done the trick. Thanks for the quick fix, buddy.
Hi, sorry to hijack.. But how do you change the priority of the shipping? I can see it in the list of shipping methods, but in the options page of each method there doesn't seem to be any entry for priority.
David, you'll need to add the new Sort Order field to your
/perch/templates/shop/shippings/shipping.htmlfor it to show up.
