  • Flat Rates
    If you want normal flat rate shipping; please send your shipping charges
or
  • Based on weight
    If you want shipping determined by manually specified weight charges; please send list of your shipping charges
    You will need to provide costs
    E.g
    0 to 100g =3.30
    100g to 200g = $5.90
    200g to 300g = $10
    300g to 600g = $16
    600g to 1200g = $27
    1200g to 4000g = $40
    over weight calculated by adding $40 plus the cost of the extra weight
    I can change these if you find that they are not quite what you want later.
    Then when adding an item all you need to do is add a weight; if you forget to add a weight then postage cost will be minimum weight. e.g. 0 to 100g = 3.30

3. Checkout payment options

A few primary payment options that are often installed:

  • If you would like me to set up the check/money order payment option please confirm postal address.
  • If you would like me to set up a bank deposit method in the check out please send me you bank details
  • If you take pick up orders, please confirm shop address, or I can add a phone number / email for the customer to contact you with before pick up.
  • PayPal:
    • Option 1.
      to use PayPal IPN I simply need your email address associated with any paypal account. 
    • Option 2:
      PayPal express is a far superior payment gate way and promotes sales through very quick check out and trusted icons. For this option I will need you to give me your Paypal API setting, please follow the following:

Zen cart has a PayPal Express Checkout which allows people to bypass the sign up and go straight to paypal and make the payment!  This is recommended for your site.
In order for to set this up on your site we need to get your API settings, you can do so by following the instructions below or if you give me your PayPal login info I can do it for you.

    1. Go to PayPal
    2. Click Sign Up Today.
    3. Set up an account for Business Owners.
    4. Follow the instructions on the PayPal site.
  • Customers who already have a Personal or Premier account:

    4. Choose to upgrade to a Business account and follow instructions to complete the upgrade.
    5. If you haven't already, add a bank account to become a Verified member. Follow the instructions on the PayPal site. (This process may take 2-3 business days.)

Step 2: Setup API Access

    1. Log in to your PayPal Business account.
    2. Click the Profile subtab located in the top navigation area
    3. If you have a "My Selling Tools" tab on the left navigation area, click it and go to the next step. Otherwise you'll see two or three columns of choices. You'll want to click on the "API Access" option in the first column, and skip the next step.
    4. Beside the "API Access" option, click the "Update" link/button
    5. Under the Setting up PayPal API Credentials and Permissions heading, under OPTION 2 click the "Request API Credentials" link (If it already says "View API Signature", click that and skip the next step)
    6. Click the “Request API signature” radiobutton then click “Agree & Submit” button (after agreeing to the terms).
    7. Write down the values listed next to API Username and Password
    8. Select the value listed next to Signature Hash, copy it, and save it to a file or some other location. This is your API Signature.
    9. Use the values from #7 and #8 to configure the API SIGNATURE settings in the PayPal Express Checkout module in your Zen Cart admin area ((admin > modules > payment modules > paypal api), or Send me (Michael) values from #7 and #8.
