Any way to have dynamic Shipping Cost?

I could even use Paypal Shipping Management feature, but I would need to send to paypal the total cart weight as paypal custom field… any way to have items weight on cart session array?

Hi, I am not sure if you have read the following documentation regarding how this plugin implements shipping cost.

In regards to weight and more options you can read about it in the following documentation.

Let me know if the above helps you.

Regards

Hello,
Actuallt I’ve read both documentations, this is why I’m asking how can I tell paypal the total weight of the order?

Hi, I understand your point of view. I myself have never set up the weight cost of an item using this plugin.

I have sent a message to the plugin developers to investigate further your request/issue.

Thank you

Hi, The simple cart doesn’t do anything with weight. That feature is available in the eStore plugin:

Hello, mra13, thanks for your answer.
I was already aware of that functionality on eStore plugin, that is a quite complete solution.
But sometimes we just need the simpleness of WordPress Simple Paypal plugin, especially when we have just a few products on a website that is not an ecommerce, but just sells some items.
A small upgrade on the product shortcode, with the add of a weight property would be really nice, especially to fully support the Payapal built in shipping management.

That being said, the plugin is already really nice ??

I wanted to upvote this. It was nearly the perfect solution until I realized it could not use PayPal’s shipping management. For a small amount of products where weight matters, for me it’s appearing that without this shipping calculation integration, PayPal’s “buy now” button’s are a better fit. The only unfortunate part that way is I can’t integrate a cart page or checkout directly on the site. (Which is actually what I was originally trying to do when I found this plugin.)

I wanted to add it isn’t just weight, but box dimensions, so may additional tags such as weightlbs=”50″ dimensionsin=”24,24,24″ and when this type of calculation is required it would post “Shipping calculated at checkout”
