Using ec_charges to add shipping costs
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this discrussion -
I am struggling with the charges module. I gather from this post http://groups.drupal.org/node/21247 that I am looking at the right part of the ecommerce admin pages, but I can't make any sense of it.
Could someone point me to some documentation (or which files in the module I could study to figure out how to use it)?
I am trying to use a CCK field to add a postage cost. I would like this cost to be added on to the price of the product if the field is not empty.
There is also the possibility at some point that I would want to be able to fill in a weight, and have the site calculate whether shipping should be charged for, and how much.
Thanks

The easiest method would be
The easiest method would be to create a taxonomy which with all the different levels of postage. Then create an additional charge for each level (using the filters) and then the system will load them as required.
You can then merge all the shipping charges together to have 1 shipping line item on the invoice.

What about different regions?
I would like to set up shipping rates based on the shipping address or at least a drop down list of shipping rates on the checkout page. Any example of this?
The filter options don't seem to apply because they look like they refer to the product not the shipping destination.
Also related... I need to set up sales taxes based on regions too (ie: Provincial sales tax in Canada).
Thanks!
Help with Shipping
Any insight into how to set up shipping charges would be very much appreciated. It seems that in earlier versions that this shop was capable of shipping. However in its current state it seems that it can't do it. I have searched for 2 days to find out how to add shipping. There is no good documentation on this.
Any good instructions to help us noobies would be very very good please???
