Variation Options/Product Options and shipping charges
Any update on when you will be able to change shipping prices due to a variation option that increases or decreases the weight of the product? Here is our example:
We sell batting cages. One option is to include or not include the L-screen. It weighs 30 pounds and hence effects shipping weight. If the client does not want the L-screen we not only reduce the cost of the product by $80, but want to decrease the price of shipping by $20. Currently I can't do that as I can only change the product price with a variation option. So I have to leave shipping at what it would cost to include the L-screen and lower the product price by a total of $100. But this is fouls up other options when clients also buy a package deal, e.g. buy a pitching machine and a batting cage, and get free shipping on the cage. If they don't order the L-screen I only want to discount the cage by $80 not $100. As I've said in a previous post when I was using Drupal and Ubercart, their "attributes" would allow also changes in shipping weight which is how I charge shipping on products. Based on the weight of each product. Thanks.

Thanks for your post.
That feature is not available yet, but we are working on it as a priority since it's been asked for by several users.
I'm not able to give a specific ETA though, I'm afraid.
Kind regards,
Phil
