Optional Shipping Insurance Module [Support Thread]

yellow1912:

The Insurance module does not show the additional amount the customer has to pay, (I use Zone Rate Shipping Fee)

That is how it works, it doesn't show till the following page. I usually change the text to something like this:

"Click here to add optional insurance. We use standard USPS shipping rates, and the rate will display on the following page. If you decide you no longer want insurance, simple use the back button on your browser and de-select this option"

The text for that is in includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_insurance.php

Ah, that's the reason. But wouldn't it be too much a hassle for customers? Can't we somehow display it there? Is it because of the GiftCards and stuffs that the customers may apply? But we can display an estimated number there based on the total price before any discount, and then on the next page we display the real price (after all the discounts have been applied)?I think that would be better for me, as a customer.

Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to move this module to the shipping screen (where the customer selects the shipping method). If so, how would i go about doing that?

Thanks

Is there a place where I can go and insert the new USPS insurance costs? They went up in May and the mod doesn't reflect those price changes.

You can change them in includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

You'll be messing around in php, but you'll see the section with the rates, and you can just put the new ones in!

Oh cool....I answered my own question and I actually put the new rates into includes/modules/order_total/ot_insurance.php and that seems to be working.

I had one more question, though: I see that in IE7, the text in the shipping insurance checkbox area on the payment information page is weird....it's like a narrow column of text in the box that's the same width as the rest of the payment boxes on that page. I can't find where to adjust for this in IE. It's fine in firefox. I hope that made sense.

thanks!

Sorry, that's the file I meant.

Could I see a link, please?

Hi! I can't really give you a link because you have to be logged in and in step 2 of the checkout process, but attached is a screen shot. It's doing this in IE (I have IE7, they have IE7 or earlier), but not in Firefox.

thanks!!

I don't see this in my test site, though I've made a lot of css adjustments from stock zen.

Try adding this to your css:

LABEL.inputLabel {
width:85%;
float:left;
margin:0.3em;
}

Jettrue, that worked!!!! Thank you SO much! :clap:

hi there,

I am having the same problem - the insurance text is showing up in one corner of teh page in a column. I tried the dit recommended but no luck - still the same...please assist.

thanks

A) could I see your site?

B) no, unfortunately not....

Hello,

Is it possible to have the shipping insurance be part of the total used for tax calculation? I thought setting the Tax option to taxable goods would do it but it is not showing up in the tax amount.

Thanks,

Its adding it on my test site. It adds it to the shipping insurance cost, not the tax cost.

I tried the test site in the first page, and I'm not seeing the tax from shipping insurance in the shipping insurance line or tax line.
I added a single $29.99 product and it shows Tax $1.96 (which does not equal 29.99*7%) and shipping insurance of $1.35 (which is default for the value range).

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

I don't know how you set up tax, it can be tricky, so its very likely something went wrong somewhere if it is not working correctly; on my test 1.3.7 install, tax calculates fine, and shipping insurance gets its own tax added correctly.

Read the tax tutorial, and maybe start fresh with tax rates and zones.

...the next requirement is to exclude it completely from the Store Pickup option! This would probably take a proficient php coder a matter of minutes...

Read this whole thread and nobody answered this question. Guess there must not be many people that allow Store Pickups.

Any ideas? TIA...

Sorry, I'm not sure how to do this. People ordering via Store Pickup, can just de-select insurance. :smile:

We require insurance on all shipments.

I really appreciate your efforts on this module, Jade. It just seems odd to me how full-featured ZenCart is, yet the basic concept of insurance somehow got overlooked. :(

I don't have the insurance module running around but you could use this IF statement to determine when to use or not use it:

if ($_SESSION['shipping']['id'] == 'storepickup_storepickup') {
// do stuff
} else {
// don't do stuff
}
