Update shipping price based on quantity

    I'm building a simple order form that allows people to order varying quantities of different products. I need to allow for three different shipping prices, one for 0-3 products, another for 4-11 and a third price for 12+. The Shipping field doesn't seem to support any logic at all as far as I can see - it's merely a flat price per product (seemingly without regard to the quantity).

    I could simply tie a Shiping price to each product but 1) since Shipping seems to ignore quantity that would leave me with the same shipping price whether a customer ordered 1 or 10 of that product and 2) it doesn't actually solve the case I'm working on where shipping goes to free at 12+.

    Any thoughts on how this might be done? I'm kind of surprised the Shipping field is so lacking in options.

    The shipping field is basic because Gravity Forms order form capabilities are not intended to be a replacement for a more robust ecommerce solution. It's never going to have some of the more advanced features of a shopping cart because it's designed for simple order form situations.

    We can look at enhancing the Shipping options in a future release.

    If you can't make it work the way it is now, another option is to create your own customization or hire a developer to implement a customization that implements shipping the way you need it to work.

    Oh, I understand that it's not a replacement for a commerce solution. I use Shopp for those. However, when you have pricing fields and things like the Total do the expected thing (update based on changes in Quantity, etc) then having a Shipping field that is so limited is like tripping at the goal line. Of course, the line between allowing some basic options and having it blow up into a quagmire isn't alway clear I imagine.

    In any event, thanks for the reply.
