Incorrect shipping

    Hey Fahad,
    Great idea and good job on making this. I just gave it a try to see if I could solve my problem of splitting backorder items into a different order, but the shortcoming I ran into is that when it splits the order, it keeps the same shipping calculation in each of the new individual orders as the original.

    Unfortunately, I think WooCommerce has no way of REcalculating the shipping charges while in the admin and making changes to the order. I still dont understand why they havent addressed that VERY common issue. I am working on figuring a way to handle ANY changes to the orders while in the admin. Shipping ALWAYS will be incorrect, esp. if and when items are coming from many different places. Did I miss something? Again great job on the plugin. Hopefully we can hack it!

    Hacking on it isn’t a problem but won’t it be still incorrect if code don’t know how to divide this shipping among the items? Any clue? As it’s not a bug but an improvement/feature so i am marking it as resolved. I am still here on this thread to understand and to work on it.

    Yea, handling shipping charges in WooCommerce is SO complicated because it’s based on so much per specific shop; WooCommerce settings.

    My only thought would be if there is a way to create/split the orders for the customer so that they would have to go in THEIR dashboard and choose the shipping methods [which will obviously be based on the store’s (WC) shipping settings].

    Shipping is such a hinderance in WooCommerce.

    Can you give me a couple of examples so i can create/setup the same order in test environment?

    Normally i encourage plugin users to join me on demo website to test any plugin. If you think that together we can find a solution so i would surely appreciate your contribution towards a mature plugin.

    Well, I am running into a few issues as my shop is based on charging shipping from products from various warehouses and are grouped accordingly for proper shipping charges when checking out.
    For example, 3 dif items in an order all come from the same warehouse and will be grouped/weighed for a shipping price from THEIR location. Samme applies to all products in an order if there is more than one from same origin.

    My original question though, applies to this example order (numbers not important) since the items on backorder will be left on hold but I can process/ship the others:

    Order #001

    TITLE($Price) x QUANTITY = Sum + Tax + $SHIPPING COST = Toal For Item
    ———————————————————————–
    Product A ($1) x 12 = $12 + $0.96 + $5 =
    Product B ($2) x 12 = $24 + $1.92 + $10 =
    Product C ($3) x 12 = $36 + $2.88 + $15 =
    Product D ($4) x 12 = $48 + $3.84 + $20 =
    Product E ($5) x 12 = $60 + $4.80 + $25 =
    Total SHIPPINg cost = $75

    That will split into 5 orders with correct items & quantities in each BUT no tax charges and the shipping charges for each split order will all be same as first order. For example, the first two split orders are

    E.g.
    Split Order #002
    TITLE($Price) x QUANTITY = Sum + Tax + $SHIPPING COST = Toal For Item
    ———————————————————————–
    Product A ($1) x 12 = $12 + N/A + $75 =

    Split Order #003
    TITLE($Price) x QUANTITY = Sum + Tax + $SHIPPING COST = Toal For Item
    ———————————————————————–
    Product B ($2) x 12 = $24 + N/A + $75 =

    Sorry if confusing but did the best I could for now. ??

    P.S. Basically I would only look into the tax not being charged in the new split orders since the shipping arrangements I have going on involve other plugins and settings that involve choosing a shipping method for each set of grouped items.
    WHEW! Haha!

    Thanks
