The two shipping rates are configured to calculate shipping as a percentage of the order value, subject to an optional minimum amount to which is added an optional flat handling charge. The result can be taxable or exempt.
The code is based on that of the Flex shipping module by Micah Shawn included in the VirtueMart distribution.
First of all this is FREE! That makes it awesome. Second of all it really was little effort to make the shipping work. I had to upload a few pages to my server in the right folder. Then select it when you go into the Virtuemart Admin from the Shipping Tab in the list of modules so that it shows up in shipping modules. After which it took me a second to find out the shipping module was in Virtuemart Store Tab. Then I just set it up and played with it a few times and it figures out the shipping according to your basic price plus a percentage per additional product. It works great! No problems. Thank you for Flex2 Shipping... 100 Stars!
wow really this is a great plug-in....... Thanks a lot guys for the grt work.. Also here I'm going to put a code that i used to change the total amout of the shipping according to nuber of products. Some times this will help u..
$amount=0;
//Flat rate handling fee
foreach($_SESSION['cart'] as $key=>$value)
{
$amount+= $value['quantity'];
}
$handling_fee = ($GLOBALS['CURRENCY']->convert( FLEX2_HAND_FEE ))*$amount;
$amount=0;
//Flat rate handling fee
foreach($_SESSION['cart'] as $key=>$value)
{
$amount+= $value['quantity'];
}
$handling_fee = ($GLOBALS['CURRENCY']->convert( FLEX2_HAND_FEE ))*$amount;
1,2,3.....that it's it, done. What a great module, just what I have been looking for.
Thanks guys, keep up the good work.
I was afraid I might have to start using a carrier pigeon for my shipping. d;-Þ

I have needed something like this for years. I used to received order from outside the USA and would have to go back and ask for additional shipping money. Later I duplicated the flex module to "flex international" and it worked fine but many customers neglected to select International shipping" and I was back to wher I started.
This solution works brilliantly to automatically select whether the customer is shipping to an address within the "home" country, or another country and calculates the rates accordingly.
My wish list would be to create another extension that would allow users to select the rates based on a an order value range such as the "shipvalue" extention bu including the logic to determn domestic vs international. Good work!

I spent 10 hours to try to make it work, the shipping modules inside VM. My first VM configuration.
