I can’t get this to work. It seems to fail at $order->setShippingAmount( $shipping_amount + $MyPaymentMethod->getPostHandlingCost() );.
Is this way still possible with 1.4.1.1? Thanks for the head start though.

Have a look here on how to create a Magento config with event observer: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/5_-_modules_and_development/0_-_module_development_in_magento/customizing_magento_using_event-observer_method

I want to migrate my site to Magento but I need to be able to accept a downpayment via paypal so the remaining balance can be paid the day of the tour at the facility

Hello,

Maybe you can help me. I am search for a way to add a handling fee for every product sku thats in the shopping cart.

Example.

3 sku23234 = handling fee €1,-
1 sku2323 = handling fee €1,-
100 sku45756 = handling fee €1,-

total handling fee €3,-

How can i make this work?

Cheers,

Jord

I am not modifying the core files. What I post as example is part from a module that observer an event and do some actions.

I have done the same thing that you suggested, let the users to see the fee on the review page.

Great idea. I am searching for a payment option that will allow me to add a handling fee to the order.
In my opinion it is better that the customer sees the fee when the payment option is selected, or at the order review page before the final placement of the order.
I see that you are modifying core files, maybe it is better to create a module?

Not sure what where is called but can follow the code and see it. This is the way I do. You might check the “sales_convert_quote_to_order”.

I see. Thanks! Do you know if the magento has event when payment is checked? I got these events from here.

Yes, the event that you are observed is called when the order is placed. If you want to update the checkout summary page, you have to rewrite the views.

Below is what I did. 1./etc/config.xml singleton /observer updateShippingAmount 2./Model/Observer.php class mycommunity_mymodule_Model_Observer { public function updateShippingAmount($observer) { $order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder(); $shipping_amount = $order->getShippingAmount(); $order->setShippingAmount($shipping_amount *(1+0.031)); //extra cost return $this; } } Questions. I tested event checkout_type_onepage_save_order . It seems it only works when I click "Place Order" but not after clicking payment. And the method setShippingAmount dosen't work. I can't figure out what is the problem since there is no developer cook book of Magento.

I can not provide you any sample source files, just try to tell me here what is your problem.

Cristian, I tried to add events in \app\code\core\Mage\Paypal\etc\config.xml and create Observer.php in \app\code\core\Mage\Paypal\Module to update extra fee when check out. But it doesn’t work. Can you provide me sample source files? Thanks!
