1

Line Weights

Each product's unit weight is multiplied by its ordered quantity to produce an accurate per-line weight before anything is summed.

2

Combined Weight

All line weights are totalled into a single combined order weight, which is then matched against your configured weight bands.

3

Surcharges Applied

Multi-product and heavy-item surcharges are added automatically where applicable — all fully configurable per your carrier rates.

4

Free Shipping Check

If the order subtotal meets your free shipping threshold the entire shipping cost is waived — with optional weight cap for heavy orders.

Weight-Band Pricing

Up to five configurable weight bands — each with its own per-kg rate — stored in the database and manageable from the admin panel without any code changes.

Multi-Product Aware

Orders containing more than one product type automatically attract a small handling surcharge, reflecting the real cost of picking, packing, and labelling mixed orders.

Free Shipping Rewards

Set a merchandise subtotal threshold and all shipping charges are automatically waived. An optional weight cap ensures very heavy orders still cover their carrier cost.

Instant On/Off Toggle

Disable the entire algorithm in a single config change. Choose a fallback mode: free shipping site-wide, a flat rate for every order, or block checkout entirely during a maintenance window.

Itemised Breakdown

Every charge is returned as a labelled line item — base fee, weight charge, surcharges — so you can display a transparent cost summary to customers at checkout.

Fully Configurable

Base fee, surcharge amounts, heavy-item threshold, maximum shippable weight, and free shipping threshold are all environment-variable driven — different values per deployment with no code changes.

Example Weight Band Configuration

Bands are stored in the shipping_weight_bands database table and can be updated by an admin without touching any code. Changes take effect after the one-hour cache expires, or instantly after a cache flush.

Band	Weight range	Rate per kg	Example: 3 kg order	Status
1	Up to 1 kg	£3.00 / kg	—	Active
2	1 – 5 kg	£2.50 / kg	3 × £2.50 = £7.50	Active
3	5 – 15 kg	£2.00 / kg	—	Active
4	15 – 30 kg	£1.75 / kg	—	Active
5	30 kg+	£1.50 / kg	—	Active
+ £2.50 base handling fee on every order			£7.50 + £2.50 = £10.00

Free Mode

Disable the calculator and make all shipping free — perfect for promotional weekends or flash sales.

Flat Rate Mode

Charge every order a single fixed amount while the full algorithm is paused — checkout keeps working without interruption.

Unavailable Mode

Block checkout shipping entirely during carrier maintenance windows — with a custom message shown to your customers.

Multi-Day Vehicle Flexibility

Perfect for festivals, conferences, and multi-day events where groups want the flexibility to change drivers or vehicles between days.

Group Scenario Example

A group of 4 friends attending a 3-day festival purchase tickets and parking. Friend A drives Day 1, Friend B drives Day 2, and Friend C drives Day 3. Our system lets them assign different registrations for each day effortlessly.

How It Works:

Day-by-Day Assignment: Post-purchase portal shows each event day separately
Multiple Registrations: Enter different vehicle reg for each day if needed
Automatic Scheduling: ANPR whitelist updates automatically for each day's vehicle
Change Flexibility: Update vehicle assignments until deadline before each day
Smart Validation: System prevents duplicate registrations and validates dates

Intelligent Quick-Add Recommendations

Our smart recommendation engine analyzes ticket-to-parking ratios and suggests optimal purchase quantities, making it easy for customers to get exactly what they need.

Ratio-Based Logic

Configure rules like "10 tickets = 4 parking spaces" and the system automatically calculates optimal quantities.

Example: Customer adds 7 tickets → System suggests "Add 3 more tickets to qualify for 4 parking spaces"

Quick Add Buttons

Pre-configured bundles for common scenarios displayed prominently on product pages.

Example: "Add 10 Tickets + 4 Parking Spaces" button adds the perfect package in one click

Benefits for Customers:

No Math Required: System calculates optimal quantities automatically
Maximize Value: Never miss out on parking allocations you're entitled to

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our shopping cart system

You configure rules like "10 tickets = 4 parking spaces" in the admin panel. When customers add tickets to their cart, the system calculates how many parking spaces they qualify for and displays recommendations. For example, if they have 7 tickets, the system suggests adding 3 more to unlock 4 parking spaces. Quick-add buttons make it easy to add the optimal bundle in one click.

After completing payment, they receive a welcome email with a unique secure link to complete their registration. They'll need their order reference number and email to access the portal. The system sends reminder emails as the event date approaches. They can add vehicle registrations anytime up to a configurable deadline before the event. This reduces checkout friction while ensuring we have the data we need.

Yes! This is one of our most popular features. When customers access the post-purchase portal for multi-day parking, they see each day listed separately. They can assign a different vehicle registration to each day. This is perfect for groups attending festivals or conferences where different people might drive on different days. The ANPR system automatically updates the whitelist for each day's registered vehicle.

Absolutely. We're PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, which is the highest level of payment security certification. Card details are processed directly by certified payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) and never touch our servers. All data transmission uses 256-bit SSL encryption. We also implement 3D Secure authentication for additional fraud protection. Your customers' payment information is completely secure.

We support all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and PayPal. Payment options can be configured based on your merchant account setup. The checkout automatically detects the customer's device and displays relevant payment methods (e.g., Apple Pay only shows on iOS devices).

The system validates vehicle registration format in real-time as customers type. It checks for proper UK registration format, prevents invalid characters, and normalizes spacing/capitalization automatically. For enhanced validation, we can integrate DVLA lookup to verify the registration exists and retrieve vehicle make/model information for confirmation. This reduces data entry errors significantly.

Yes, completely. In the admin panel, you can create custom bundles for each product or event. Set the quantities for tickets and parking, add a bundle name and description, and even apply bundle discounts. You can create multiple bundle options (e.g., "Small Group - 5 tickets + 2 parking" and "Large Group - 10 tickets + 4 parking"). These appear as prominent buttons on product pages for easy one-click adding.

Customers can use the same secure link from their welcome email to modify vehicle registrations up until a configurable deadline before the event (typically 24-48 hours). They simply log in with their order reference, and can update any vehicle registration. The ANPR whitelist is automatically updated with the new details. If they need changes after the deadline, they can contact your support team who can make updates through the admin panel.
