Multicurrency: wrong shipping fee on cart update

    Hello,

    I have a multilanguage (EN, DE, IT, SV) and multicurrency (EUR, SEK) site.

    I set up 2 shipping zones through Flexible Shipping plugin.

    These are:
    Sweden: shipping fee 120 SEK, free over 600 SEK
    Rest of the world: shipping fee 15 €, free over 60 €

    All the settings are based on the main currency (EUR), but swedish customers are served with prices in their currency (SEK) that are calculated converting from Euro at the conversion rate set up in WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency (1 EUR = 11 SEK). So in the Flexible Shipping setup for Sweden I put the values in Euro that determine the correct value in SEK after the conversion.

    Everything works fine when:
    – the cart total is immediately lower than 600 SEK, the 150 SEK fee is applied.
    – the cart total is immediately greater than 600 SEK, free shipping is applied.

    The problem arises when the cart total is less than 600 SEK and I update the cart by adding more units of the same product in order to exceed the 600 SEK limit.

    In this case the free shipping is correctly applied but also a 120 SEK fee is added.

    If I refresh the page using the browser refresh button or proceed to checkout page the wrong fee disappears and real free shipping is correctly applied.

    I already checked with the guys from Flexible Shipping that everything works fine from their plugin’s side.

    I also figured out how those 120 Kr are being calculated:

    • shipping methods are set to “taxable”
    • prices are entered including VAT
    • VAT for Sweden is 25%

    =>25% of 150 Kr is 30 Kr => 150 – 30 = 120!!!

    So it looks like a reverse calculation that excludes the tax amount is made on cart update.

    For your information, this happens:

    • both with my child theme, parent theme and Storefront theme, but not with Twenty Twenty-Three theme.
    • only with the shipping method for Sweden, which is calculated in the secondary currency (SEK). The shipping method for the rest of the world (in EUR) works fine, also on cart update.

    Can you please help with this?

    Thank you

  • Hi,

    I started checking the issue by selecting one product, specifically I selected this one. I added one to the cart, and I could see the shipping fee because it is less than 600 Kr, then I refreshed the cart adding 4 units of the same product, so that the cart will be more than 600 Kr, but I could not see the issue on my end.

    Can you provide one product where this issue is happening on your end?

    Can you switch the site theme to Storefront temporarily, and then disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and the Flexible shipping plugin? Check again to see if the issue persists, if not, chances are there is a conflict, and you can then switch back your theme to the original one, and then reactivate the rest of the plugins (checking again after each plugin reactivation), until you find the cause of the problem. You can refer to this documentation: https://woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/

    Let us know if that makes a difference.

    Cheers.

    Hi Igor,

    the issue happens with whatever product on my end, even with the one you selected.

    Here you can see the step with total less than 600 kr:

    and then the step after the quantity update:

    By the way, the issue happens on cart page; your screenshot seems to come from checkout page.

    Anyway, I followed your instructions and disabled all plugins except WooCommerce and Flexible Shipping, and switched the theme to Storefront.

    Then:
    – I added this product https://staging.axaeco.se/product/arctic-axaeco-buffer/ to cart
    – went to cart page
    – changed the shipping to Sweden
    – changed product quantity to 4 (to exceed the free shipping threshold, which for Sweden is 54,5454545 €, that – if multicurrency is active – converts to 600 Kr)
    => The shipping information is correct and no extra fee is added.

    Next step:
    – I activated WPML Multilingual CMS, WPML String Translation and WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency (I think they are all connected, so it makes no sense to activate them one by one)
    – set language to Svenska
    – I added this product to cart https://staging.axaeco.se/sv/produkt/arctic-axaeco-buffer/
    – went to cart page
    – changed the shipping to Sverige (Sweden)
    – changed product quantity to 4 (to exceed the free shipping threshold of 600 Kr)
    => The shipping information is correct and no extra fee is added.

    Next step:
    – I activated Elementor (it’s the next plugin that I need as a bare minimum for my site to work)
    – set language to Svenska
    – I added this product to cart https://staging.axaeco.se/sv/produkt/arctic-axaeco-buffer/
    – went to cart page
    – cart page is empty

    Next step:
    – I activated Elementor PRO too
    – I added this product to cart https://staging.axaeco.se/sv/produkt/arctic-axaeco-buffer/
    – went to cart page
    – changed the shipping to Sverige (Sweden)
    – changed product quantity to 4 (to exceed the free shipping threshold of 600 Kr)
    => The wrong extra fee is added!!!

    What do you think about this?
    What next steps do you recommend?

    Thank you!
