International Shipping Quote Calculator in Shopping Cart

[Canadianoilsands]

hello friends.

WHY?

• i need help with the shipping quote tool that is built into the shopping cart page.
• did nt get anywhere with the people on the helpdesks, so hopefully someone out in cyberspace can offer me assistance
• i do think this feature is already built-in, but is not functional, i dono why

WHAT?

• on the shopping cart page, there is a tool to estimate shipping
• however, it only works for US Zipcodes
• when you enter a zip, it looks up your shipping methods and spits out a shipping rate
• very handy for customers to get a quick idea of the "total cost" of their purchase

• the alternative is to "proceed to checkout" and enter your shipping information, to get the shipping rates
• but most potential customers don't do so, especially if they are not e-commerce savvy, they tend to avoid pressing the "proceed..." button

THE ISSUE?

• i was trying to figure out how to configure this tool to serve my canadian customers
• whereby, if they enter their state and country, they too can get a shipping rate estimate, right in the shopping cart
• does nt work, only works for US zipcodes

• but then, when i looked at the html code for the shopping cart page, view_cart.html, i was surprised to discover
• that there is a built-in international shipping calculator coded in!!!
• it just is not working, not sure why not????

THE EVIDENCE

• here is the html code, the first part is for the working US (zipcode input) quote, the second part is for the International (state, country input) quote.
• can someone help me get this working??

This code is for a plugin to integrate with a third party service. See the following links:

International Checkout

As far as I know there is no way to generate a normal international quote on the view cart page.

Sure there is. But you have to pay 3dcart a couple hundred to get it added.

Has anyone enabled this on their website? I would like to take a look at it before buying (although 3dcart says there is a 30 day money back guarantee).

It's really nice to finally have this now, thanks 3d. Tested today, I'm going to do a little work on it before going live but some is changing some items placed there for domestic.
