Hi Dennis,

Basicaly, this is a call to the stored procedure Store_ShippingRates_GetShippingRate. At checkout, the Checkout.ascx control is loaded. Line 470 a ShippingProvider is created and at line 476 CalculateShippingFee is called. The provider code is in the project DotNetNuke.Store.Providers.Shipping.DefaultShippingProvider, file ShippingController.cs. ShippingController.cs inherit from IShippingProvider and implement IShippingInfo (read bellow for interface references). Then CalculateShippingFee call the method GetShippingFee from the dataprovider (file DataProvider.cs in DotNetNuke.Store.Providers.Shipping.DefaultShippingProvider).

The base interfaces are declared in the project DotNetNuke.Store.Providers, Shipping folder. The interface IShippingInfo is in the file IShippingInfo.cs, IShippingProvider is in the file IShippingProvider.cs.

It's a little bit complex because the use of provider model, but with this step you will be able to understood how it works (I hope).

Hi David,

You'r right, the shipping cost is calculated at checkout, but you can't simply add a text box. Because there is several ways for calculate shipping:

1. By weight (as in the current provider).
2. By total order amount.
3. By destination.
4. Any combinations of the preceding ones.

In all cases, we need to know the final order content and/or the destination. This is why the shipping cost is calculated at checkout. Because the Store module is provider based, any one can create is hown shipping provider for his specific needs.

If you want to give shipping informations to the client's store, may be the simple way is to add a Text/HTML module on the Catalog page. Thus, you could specify common shipping prices. Give me more detailled information about your needs, may be I will be able to suggest a better solution.
