|
| I'm setting up shipping methods for a new store. I sell only in the U.S.
I would like to have both Automated and Manual methods.
I have set up one (Group 1) (Instant Checkout) automated method for anything
up to 2 lbs. and have tested it (using a 2nd account), and it works.
I'd like to have a 2nd (manual) (alternate) shipping method (a "request
for quote" , mainly for people who are buying manuals, so I can quote them
the USPS Media Mail rate.
I have been unsuccessful in getting the manual method to appear as a choice.
What am I doing wrong? Is it even possible to have instant checkout and "Request
for quote" as choices for the buyer?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have both, this is what the manual one (for intn'l) looks like.
Basically you set no rule, no limit, no rate.

| What's in the Destination & Base Rate section? (My automated shipping method
is a 'weight band' method.) Which type of method did you choose for your
'send me an invoice' method? - Courier API, Weight Band, Price Band,
Flat Rate? And it looks like I have to have at least one row for rates, otherwise
it gives me an error message saying I 'Please add at least one row to the
chart'.
I feel like an idiot that I can't figure this out! Thanks for your help!

You have to set them up separately, one for manual, one for automated.

| I DO have 2 separate methods. The one that's working is an automated one,
for the new USPS shipping method called 'USPS Ground Advantage'. It covers
packages up to 5 pounds. Works great.
My second method is named 'Request for quote', and it's a manual
one. It doesn't show up as a choice. I have unchecked the option that restricts
new buyers to seeing only Instant Checkout options, since my 2nd account (that
I use for testing) is a "new buyer".

Dumb question. Since I only sell to U.S., can (and should) I choose 'International/Flat
rate' in that section?

No, that will allow anyone from anywhere to buy from your store. Choose Domestic/flat
rate.
