How are shipping costs calculated. I have clients with different requirements so presently I can set postage based on weight of the basket, total of the basket and also fixed shipping costs per product. Is the equivalent availaible in uCommerce and is it possible to write new shippingCostProviders?
Also when a version 2 is available will there be an upgrade cost or will you have to buy a complete licence again (could get expensive!)
By default uCommerce works with a fixed price per shipping method and price group. If you need weight or basket total based calculations you can definitely create that and hook that into uCommerce.
Basically you need to implement the interface IShippingMethodService and register your class with uCommerce in web.config in the element.
uCommerce works with multiple shipments (or just one) that's why your shipping method service receives a shipment, which includes the associated order lines for your calculation.
thanks for the quick reply. Bit off topic but will the Pro License allow me to create multiple stores in seperate Umbraco installations on different servers?
The license only allows for multiple stores in the same install. If you need multiple stores in separate installs please contact me at [email protected]

Hope this helps.
As for uCommerce 2 existing customers will have the opportunity to buy an upgrade license so you don't have to buy a new license all over.
