media mail question

[tgrant]

Hi! I'm selling some books on my site and I'm wondering how to set it so they ship via USPS media mail. Just about all my products (books and non-books) are listed to ship using 'enabled methods', so I'm wondering if I enable 'media mail' how SC will know what's a book and what's not. Thanks!

There is a USPS Specifics fieldset on your product records with a Qualifies for Media Mail field. If you check that field it tells us that the product can ship via media mail. I believe everything in the order must qualify for media mail for Squirrelcart to offer it as a choice during checkout.

Thanks very much Jamie! That works great! And as you said, if a media mail item is combined with a regular item, then media mail doesn't appear as a shipping option. Very good!

You're welcome, glad it worked.
