Oh, I see; I didn't understand that the shipping cost isn't known until several days after the order is placed.
I'm not coming up with any great ideas. You could set the payment module to do authorization only at the time the order is placed, and capture the payment later, once you've figured out the shipping costs. But when you capture the payment I doubt you will be able to alter the charge amount to be different from the amount that was previously authorized. If that's the case then I suppose you could make a second charge to the same card for the shipping cost...? At any rate, it sounds like you are looking at a manual process (at least until you automate it). Hopefully someone else will have some good ideas. --Stuart On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 2:04 PM, Matthew Talbert <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, I don't see how it's applicable. Maybe I'm just dense.
