Re: [mv] Change total weight on checkout page
Sadly, we are using Minivend 4.04 and do not have
that option. I think I can write all the code to
determine if the right items are in the cart, but
do you know how to change the total shipping weight
field, or even what the name of this field is?
thanks again
