Uploading CSV file for Postal Codes

Suppose shipping for any zone is $10.

Now for any impact price added , be it for a particular postal code or for a range of postal code, admin selects the impact behaviour.

When postal code of a particular buyers delivery address falls under several impact prices added, Admin can define whether the impact behavior applicable will be maximum, minimum or combine
For a particular postal code (10001 as in our example), there are two impact prices available. Here, impact behavior is selected as “MINIMUM”.

Admin selects minimum impact price in the impact behavior field. So in this case, when more than one impact price is available for a particular postal code, the impact price with minimum value will apply.

Here from the two available impact price, the one which is minimum is taken into the consideration.

Impact behaviour selected as Maximum

In this case, when more than one impact price is available for a particular postal code, then the impact price with maximum value will apply.

Front End View

Here from the two available impact price for this postal code the one which has maximum is considered.

Impact behaviour selected as combined

When more than one impact price is available for a particular postal code, the impact prices will be combined.

Front End View

There are two available impact price for this postal code. Both prices are combined as the impact behavior is selected as combined.

Managing Tax on Impact Price

Suppose the admin levies a tax of 4% on the shipping on the existing carrrier.

Admin has added a postal code wise shipping impact price of  $10 (increase) for a particular postal code (10001 as in this case).

So, the Normal Shipping price is 10 + 4% on 10 = $10.4

And the impact shipping price is 10 + 4% on 10= $10.4

Hence, Total shipping which a buyer needs to pay with postal code 10001 will be 10.4 + 10.4 = $20.80.

Note- For the proper working of the module, cart.php file is overridden.
