I'm having a problem getting the shipping to work. I've got all my settings according the docs. Flat fee shipping. In my product on jamroom I have domestic and international shipping entered. And it shows in the product description on Foxycart, but it doesn't add it to the order:

Your Cart 1 item in your order
Item
Quantity Total
Assorted Postcard Pack
domestic shipping: 2.50
international shipping: 7.50
ships from: US
Code: jrStore-4
$6.99
Qty: 1

Order Summary
Subtotal

$6.99
Shipping & Handling $0.00
Utah (6.6%): $0.46
Order Total: $7.45

Still not any luck with this.

@michael said in a closed thread: "You could add weight field in the 'Form Designer' easy enough, but would need a module to calculate the shipping."

If I select a shipping option in the shipping area at foxycart I can get it to add postage for a default weight which you enter in the category section. Just testing a lot of options to see if I can get this work.

Seems like if I could assign a weight to products and pass that to foxycart, the jamroom module wouldn't need to calculate anything except total weight; foxycart would do the shipping cost in the cart.

That would be great, but I can't even get the present system of domestic/international flat rate to go into shipping. It comes over in the description, but it's not added to shipping.

blindmime:...If I select a shipping option in the shipping area at foxycart....
Jamroom doesn't use foxycarts shipping system, just the payment processor system, so setting up shipping at foxycart wont get reported back to jamroom.

The shipping options on the store on the users profiles are the only ones that get included in the order.

If the domestic/international shipping is not being calculated in on the checkout page at foxycart then the system is not setup correctly.

Re-check them, especially the 'store version' is 2.0 on:
https://admin.foxycart.com/admin.php?ThisAction=EditStore

and that 'cart include' is using the template from your site on this page:
https://admin.foxycart.com/admin.php?ThisAction=EditTemplate&template=cart_include

The template url should be:
YOUR-SITE.com/foxycart/remote_templates_20

Thanks, Michael.

That last part was it. I think adding that to the instructions would have been helpful for me. I missed the screenshot.

Good stuff. I've put an extra note on the docs to highlight the url. Thanks for letting me know it needed it.
