Feature Details. Sort your shipping methods by cost, module name, or
method name. This Miva Merchant module can be used in conjunction
with shipping modules which dynamically calculate cost,
such as the UPS modules or the various World, State, or
ZIP Code Zone modules.
The free shipping option can be implemented when the
subtotal of the order or the number of products in the
order exceeds the thresholds you establish in admin. Or
you can allow free shipping when the weight of the order
is less than your specified threshold. You also have the
option to give free shipping to all members of one or more
designated availability groups or price groups. You
can further configure the free shipping option by limiting
it to specific countries (USA can be all states or just the
contiguous states). You can also remove the free
shipping option if certain products are ordered. It also has
free shipping override, ie if every product in the basket is
in your list of free shipping codes, then shipping is free
no matter what the other parameters are set to. You define
what the free shipping label displays, e.g. Free Ground Shipping.
The module also provides a default message if there are no
shipping methods which can be calculated. This message
replaces the default message in Merchant. While you can
leave it as Unable to calculate shipping methods, you can
change that to be more customer friendly, e.g. We will
contact you to adjust shipping costs or To be determined.
Easily use the default layout
within the existing user interface or a template with tokens
which allows you to customize the method selection table.
With the template you can replace the select list with a
radio button group. You can also add a Select One option
in the select list layout. When only one shipping method
exists with the order, the list of methods is replaced
with a single line display and no selection is required.
The method value is passed as a hidden input to the next
screen. The template can have a header section which is configurable for every different country or group of countries.
You can hide or limit the shipping methods based on ship to country. Hence,
you can designate certain shipping methods for domestic and others for international
shipping. For US, you can even designate the continental US; excluding Alaska and Hawaii
from the domestic shipping methods.
Each method can have a different configurable message (text or html) which is displayed using
tokens. This message can be displayed on the order payment screen (the screen after shipping
method is selected), on the invoice screen and in the customer and merchant notification emails.
This eliminates the need to install a separate, custom module for checkout messages or rely on the
shipping module to have the message capability (many do not have it).
