Hi All,
I need to offer additional shipping at a specified range of time & day, time
based shipping.
For example all orders placed between 4.30 PM Thursday to 6:00 PM Friday
should be offered an additional shipping method.
I thought of 2 ways to achieve this :
1) To have a new entity (TimeBasedShiping or whatever which will have the
Shipping Estimate Id) , during the displaying of shipping methods we can
check the time condition with current time and decide whether to display the
shipping method or not.
2) To extend or add new time based fields to Shipping Estimates entity and
check the time condition with the current time to decide whether to display
the shipping method or not.
There is a minor issue with the 2 option, deciding the shipping estimate
based on price, quantity or weight is justified in Shipping Estimate entity
but time based condition in Shipping Estimate entity will look odd ?
Any other ideas on implementing this feature ? or am I missing something ?
