Set up a second tier for International?

Any help on this? We really need to find a way to create two tiers, one for domestic, one for international. Only difference being a $10 up-charge for international.

@mhodges – any insights?

Thanks for the question. At this time I don’t envision creating sets of tiers on an additional dimension. The user interface would get too complex. The other challenge is wedging into the bottom of the WC form the preview table. My early research suggested that WC is poorly equipped for allowing developers to do this. So while I got it to work for the single set of tiers, it would not scale well. Sorry not to have a more cheerful answer. Apologies for the delayed response; my day job has been particularly intense as of late.

I will continue to ponder this as time permits. There may be a creative strategy that hasn’t occurred to me yet.

Thanks @mhodges I appreciate the candid answer.

With that in mind, how would you suggest adding a second shipping method in addition to the Multi-Tiered shipping for situations where there is only one product in the cart? The client would like to have customers see two shipping options if there is only one product in the cart – Flat Rate and First Class – but then if they have more than one product in the cart they would only see the Flat Rate option. Any suggestions?

Hey @mhodges hoping you can help with this. How would you suggest adding a second shipping method in addition to the Multi-Tiered shipping for situations where there is only one product in the cart?

If you created Tier 1 to for 1 item and Tier 2 for 1+ items, and didn’t use Tiers 3 & 4. Would that give you enough control of the shipping costs? I understand what the client wants to see is two options, but this plugin isn’t designed for that and I don’t think it would be straightforward to add this functionality. Sorry that I can’t say, yes, try this. Best of luck with looking for your preferred solution. Thanks for taking a look at the Multi-Tiered Shipping plugin.

Or, rereading your question, maybe tier 1 is used for the single item scenario, tiers >= 2 for the flat rate scenario? Still not what you want, but you can control the costs this way.

Another possibility: if the “label” was configurable at the tier level, rather than assuming one “label” for all tiers, would that be of benefit? For the moment this is a stray thought, but if you find it useful, I’ll consider developing it.

My day job is particularly intense, so it might take a few weeks or months, depending on how life in general happens to be treating me ??
