    Hi, I am having issues in understanding how the shipping will automatically calculate my final price by selecting my location. An example is this web site : http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=2528976

    if we add that product to the cart we can see at the top “ship option” so we can selected our country and the shipping will be updated.

    Also in my check out i cannot see the shipping cost at all. All i can see on my site is a check with a table of zones, i have added <?php echo do_shortcode('[eshop_show_shipping]'); ?> and it shows me another table of zones with a drop down menu of the countries so that I can say which one i am in, but, nothing changes when I select it and yet no shipping cost are displayed on my checkout are showing.

    I am new to this plugin and I only need to understand how to automatically have it calculating my shipping costs and display its price.

    Aso, i need to use it with weight calculation (method 4) but as far as i can see i cannot say from kg to kg but only set up a starting weight.

    Please do help if you can, much appreciated.

    Shipping is only added after the initial checkout page has been filled in and submitted.

    well, i add a product to my cart, click on proceed to checkout and no shipping cost is displayed on the table of the price.

    So there is something I am doing wrong, also on the checkout page I should be having a drop down where I can select the country I am in so that it automatically calculates and updates the shipping cost (which as I said is currently not even showing on the initial checkout page)

    Not sure what to do

    on the checkout page it says:

    * Denotes Required Field (Shipping Rates)
    Please Choose shipping*
    Total weight: 3.00 kg
    checkbox(Shipping Zones by Country)

    but shipping cost added to the costs fields nor i have any drop down to select my country and calculate the shipping costs

    I can’t link to it as I’m on localhost but this is a screen grab:

    as you can see I have the table of zones, I have noticed that if i select one of them and then I click to check out, the shipping costs will be added.

    My questions are 2 now:

    1: How can I hide those tables as the user won’t know what a zone is and i don’t want to show them the zone or shipping rates? At the moment even if i Hide with css the tables I can’t checkout until I select one of them with the checkbox.

    2: Is it possible to show the shipping cost at this stage added in a row within the costs fields as it will happen in the next stage when we check out? Also perhaps have drop down with a country select list so that this shipping cost will be automatically calculated and the costs text field updated?

    Many thanks

    1. That is how shipping method 4 works, the user chooses which shipping method from those available they want to use.

    2. Not at present no.
