Shipping Methods

Current Version: v2023-9-12 (release notes)

OpenCart Versions: 1.5.0.x - 4.0.2.x

This extension allows you to retrieve more accurate UPS rates in OpenCart. For carts that weigh over 150 pounds, you can split up the UPS request into multiple packages. You can also enter your UPS shipper number to retrieve negotiated rates, and can choose to make various adjustments to the weight, dimensions, and cost calculations.

• Upload and go — modifies no core files.
  


• Take advantage of the built-in extension updater. All that's required is to enter your current license key and click "Update".
  


• Request UPS rates for multiple packages if the cart weight is over the 150 lb UPS limit.
  


• Choose whether the rate request includes a package for each individual item, or calculates the number and size of packages by using a 3D packing algorithm.
  


• Optionally set your own box sizes for the 3D packing algorithm to use, rather than have the algorithm determine the appropriate box sizes itself.
  


• Adjust the item dimensions, item weights, and/or box weight before the UPS request is made. You can also set weight limits for when each rate appears, and adjust the cost of each rate individually.
  


• Display estimated delivery times and factor the UPS insurance costs into the rates shown to the customer.
  


• Use your UPS shipper number to retrieve negotiated rates.
  


• Restrict when the extension is available based on store, geo zone, and customer group.
  


• Use the included Testing Mode when encountering issues, to help determine why things are not working on the front-end as expected.
  


• Create and print shipping labels directly from the Sales > Orders > View page. Customers are automatically notified with the tracking number when a label is created, and you can modify the e-mail template directly in the extension settings.

Current Version: v2023-5-18 (release notes)

OpenCart Versions: 1.5.0.x - 4.0.2.x

Add a delivery date and time selector to your checkout! This extension will work with any shipping methods you have installed, and shows up at the top of the shipping options. The customer's choices are added the "Shipping" line item on the order, meaning that they are displayed everywhere the order line items are shown. The extension has been designed to require only a very small ocMod file, which should minimize conflicts with other shipping modifications and custom checkouts.

• Upload and go — utilizes vQmod (for 1.5), ocMod (for 2.x and 3.0), or Events (for 4.0) so no core file modifications are necessary.
  


• Take advantage of the built-in extension updater. All that's required is to enter your current license key and click "Update".
  


• Set all front-end text directly in the admin panel, including specifying the date format and language for the date selector.
  


• Restrict the extension to particular shipping method(s), or individual shipping rates within those methods.
  


• Choose to allow or disallow picking same-day delivery.
  


• Select which days of the week are possible as delivery date choices.
  


• Optionally enter a list of disabled dates, which will prevent those dates from being selected.
  


• Set the list of time options however you want, as on-the-hour choices, a set of time ranges, or anything else.
  


• Choose to apply additional fees based on day of the week, date, or time slot.
  


• Includes a report that lets you display a list of orders that have chosen particular delivery dates.
  


• Due to the minimal ocMod edits required by this extension, it should work with most custom checkouts. NOTE: It does not work on Journal 3's quick checkout at this time. If you're using another custom checkout and are having issues, please contact Clear Thinking.

Current Version: v2023-5-05 (release notes)

OpenCart Versions: 1.5.0.x - 4.0.2.x

This extension allows you to easily sort the shipping rates within any shipping method. It works with any built-in shipping method, or any shipping extension you install that appears in Extensions > Shipping. Shipping methods themselves are still sorted according to their Sort Order, so you can control which one shows up first in the list of shipping options.

• Upload and go — utilizes vQmod (for 1.5), ocMod (for 2.x and 3.0), or Events (for 4.0) so no core file modifications are necessary.
  


• Take advantage of the built-in extension updater. All that's required is to enter your current license key and click "Update".
  


• Choose to sort shipping rates by cost (low to high, or high to low) or by title (A to Z, or Z to A).
  


• Select which shipping methods are affected by the extension.
  


• Works with most custom checkouts, but if you have issues, please contact Clear Thinking.

Current Version: v2023-8-25 (release notes)

• Choose to package each item (including multiple quantities) individually, or by using a 3D packing algorithm.
  


• Optionally use a set box size for the 3D packing algorithm, rather than have the algorithm determine the appropriate box size itself.
  


• Adjust the item dimensions, item weight, and/or box weight before the USPS request is made, as well as the final rates after the USPS rates are returned. USPS insurance prices are included as rate adjustments by default.
  


• Flat Rate Boxes and Envelopes are properly shown only if the calculated box size is within the dimension limits.
