Optional Shipping Insurance Module [Support Thread]

The module would need to be heavily modified to have separate table rates for each shipping method, but it is possible.

I need help.
I have installed the Module but it didnt have anything for "ADMIN" folders. Do I only set them up in the regular Includes and Modules folders??

Having said that.. it doesnt show up any insurance box or info or anything on my checkout page.

HELP!
Thanks so so so much!

Jen:smile:

the module is great.

if a customer selects the option to insure his shipping on the order confirmation page it comes up as shipping insurance: $1.70

however, if the customer did not select to insure his shipping it comes up on the order confirmation page as shipping insurance: $0.00.

i would rather it be blank.

otherwise a customer who overlooked the option to select shipping insurance and sees on his confirmation page shipping insurance: $0.00 - he will think that he is getting the service for free.

all other modules that i installed (e.g. gift wrap, etc) they only show up on the order confirmation page if the option is selected.

I have the mod installed and it shows up in step 2, but does not calculate in step 3.
Here are my settings - any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using version 3.15 of the optional shipping insurance module ans Zen cart 1.3.8a. Everything seems to be working with the module, but I now see a warning when looking at the "order total modules" admin page:

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn't find constant MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_INSURANCE_ZONE_2 in /<path>/includes/modules/order_total/ot_insurance.php on line 43

Is this something I need to worry about? Here are my settings:

not sure if this will help, but did you run the int'l sql? the module wasn't calculating for me and I had the same error until I ran the int'l sql patch, uninstalled it in admin, then reinstalled it - now it works great.

Removing and reinstalling did the trick - thanks!

Question?

Have just installed the mod, very simple and easy, great stuff - just one thing not sure about if you can clarify for me.

Do I need to install the SQL patch if only using USA in zone 1 and not using insurance for any international zones?

Please advise.

Best regards

P.S. Thanks Sage, and everyone for this, great mod and great work.

it wouldn't calculate for me until I ran the sql patch, uninstalled and reinstalled. we only use it for the US.
now it works great, though.

Thanks erinn

Awesome reply, loaded up sql, uninstalled module in total payment in admin, then reinstalled - chose USA for zone and modified table rates accordingly - saw the difference straight away after installing SQL patch then uninstalling and reinstalling mod in the admin panel.

I see what you mean, does make a difference.

Awesome reply, thanks erinn.

:hug:

Everything seems to be working okay, will let you know if come across any probs . . .

can someone copy/paste me the default UPS table rates for the insurance?

thanks

I want the optional insurance dialogue box to display by default on the page for selecting insurance.

When insurance is automatically added to an order, I want the dialogue box to display a statement that an amount of shipping insurance has been automatically added to the customer's order.

I also want to switch the position of the checkbox and insurance amount, so that the checkbox is to the left of the insurance amount.

If these things are possible, can someone please advise upon how to do same.

TIA

Further to my post above, I would also like separate base and incremental rates to be provided for national and international shipping.

At the moment, there is only one base and incremental rate, which is used for both national and international shipping, and which kicks in after the table rates are exceeded.

TIA

I have got the module working I think but noticed that the rate it quoted was far less than USPS.

I checked to see that the rates have actually increased since the module (Version 3.16) came out, so I changed them:

50:1.70,100:2.15,200:2.60,300:4.60,400:5.55,500:6.50,600:7.45

The only problem I see is that there is no calculation for the 'Greater than 600' which the USPS calculates as:

7.70 + 1.00 per 100.00 over 600.00

How can I include that in the rate table?

Great work on the module by the way; very easy to configure.

Thanks,

Morris

The support thread that came with the download:
http://www.numinix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23
says that it should handle it this way:
"With the release of v3.13, when an order is more than the maximum rate returned by the table rate, then the script starts to use the increment rate for the amount above the maximum returned rate.

For example, if in the configuration you have:
Insurance Rate: $0.50
Incrememt Amount: $100
Table Rate: 100:2,200:3,300:3.5

Then, if a customer addes $400 to their cart, the script will return $4.00 ($3.50 + $0.50). If the customer adds $401 or more, then the script would return $4.50."

Unfortunately, when I tried to set it up this way, I got a shipping insurance value of 0.00 for any orders over the maximum in the table.

Since we wholesale products and have large orders of all different amounts, I too would like to figure out how to make the table increment for values over the maximum.

Also, is there any way to eliminate the shipping insurance from certain methods (like it does for the store/walkin option)? I also want to exclude it from fedex ground and fedex express, so that shipping only appears as an option with USPS.

Thanks,
Melissa

I'm still trying to figure out how to exclude the optional insurance from fedex, so that it will only be available for USPS.

In includes/modules/order_total/ot_insurance.php, I believe this phrase excludes the insurance for in store pickup:

if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'storepickup_storepickup') {
class ot_insurance extends base{
function process() {
}
}
} else {

But if I try changing the first line to:

if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'fedexexpress_fedexexpress') {

nothing seems to happen. The insurance still shows up for fedexexpress. Is there a different name I should use for fedexexpress? Where can I find this info to plug in there?

Once I can get it to work for fedexexpress, would the logic to exclude insurance for both store pickup and fedex look like this?:

if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'storepickup_storepickup' || $_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'fedexexpress_fedexexpress') {

Thanks! I'm still new to php, so it's a bit trial and error.

Just one quick question... I got it to work (yeah)! But I'd like to modify the way the box looks on the checkout page. Can the insurance dollar amount be moved up next to the words asking the customer if they would like to add it?

It would be great if you shared how you got it to work :clap:

Great add on just one very small problem I am having.
It is adding insurance when the total is less than $100.00 using UPS.

Let's say they buy $120.00 worth of stuff but get a 35% discount. It is charging them for insurance but the bottom line is less than $100.00 for which UPS does not charge insurance.
It is looking at the sub-total and not the price after the discount.
I have played around with the sort order but with no luck. Like I said it is not a big deal but was just wandering if anyone had a solution for this.

I am using version 1.3.8a and I believe version 3.13 for the insurance add on.

Thanks in advance :smile:

finally got mine working,
You must set one zone in order for this to work, even if you are not using the table
