Shipping methods

The shipping methods are defined via TypoScript for each shopping cart. The standard template already comes with a shipping method (standard).

With the definition plugin.tx_cart.settings.allowedCountries the output of the selector in the shopping cart is defined. The options can also be translated by an own SelectViewhelper.

Important

The provided TypoScript of the extension provides a configuration and translation for the German-speaking area.

The parameter plugin.tx_cart.settings.defaultCountry defines which country should be preselected.

Important

If different shipping methods are defined for different countries, the country of the delivery address is used. Only in the case that no different delivery address has been specified, the selection of the billing address is used as a basis.

Zone configuration

If no individual country configuration can be found, it is also possible to work with zones in the TypoScript. This saves a lot of configuration work if you want to deliver to many countries.

plugin.tx_cart {
    shippings {
        zones {
            1 {
                preset = 1
                countries = de,at,ch
                options {
                    1 {
                        title = Standard
                        extra = 0.00
                        taxClassId = 1
                        status = open
                    }

Deactivate shipping methods

At the moment, the processing does not allow to completely dispense with the shipping methods. A shipping method must always be be specified. If there is only one shipping method, the selection block can be hidden.

plugin.tx_cart {
     settings {
         showCartAction {
             showPartials {
                shippingMethodForm = false
             }
         }
     }
}

Property

plugin.tx_cart.settings.showCartAction.showPartials.shippingMethodForm
