If this is the extent of your shipping rules, you may get away with this approach. From experience with other shopping carts, I highly suggest you implement a rule-based approach as opposed to a property approach. Approach like an email filter: - You define a state formulated by a set of conditions - Which result in one or more actions - And has post-processing flags, like "stop further rule processing if used" The implementation is more complex, but the resulting flexibility is worth it and much of the code can be reused for different types of business logic, like follow-up emails, discounts and available payment methods: - Send a "please review our product" reminder, if customer has not reviewed and has received product x days ago. - Give 10% cart discount to customers who have spent at least x ammount last year and don't apply any other cart discount rules - Offer "Pay within 30 days" payment method only to customers of the customer group "B2B" with credit limit > order ammount - Don't offer 24 hour delivery if shipper api qualifies customer address as 'rural' My 2c. -- Melvyn Sopacua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
