    Shipping modules and v9 discounts?

    Hi folks,

    One of my clients is trying to set up a price group to give discounts on shipping for large orders. It works fine for the most part; but for some reason, no discounts are being applied to the methods returned by a custom shipping module that I wrote. The client's been using the module for years; as far as I know, it's completely compliant with the API.

    In case it matters, the :api_ver field in the Module_Description is currently at 5.71. Do I need to change that to allow discounts? Is there some other change that's needed to shipping modules, in order for them to support these discounts?

    Thanks --

    Anyone have any thoughts on this? If not, I guess it's time to submit a ticket ...

      From Dev:

      it's going to be either a configuration issue (his shipping methods aren't marked for discounts in the price group configuration) or he's not returning consistent shipping method codes from his shipping module, or he's doing something else oddball

      it has nothing to do with the api version of the module

        I'll read over my code and see if anything jumps out at me. But I'm not aware of anything "oddball" in that module; it's been in use by a few clients for several years.

        Can you be more specific about what could cause discounts to fail while everything else works perfectly?

        How does the store interact with shipping modules to apply discounts? Does it call any of the module's API functions, or look at data in BasketCharges, etc.?

        Thanks --
