texte = I am looking for a way to add shipping costs based on different percentages which are calculated on the outcome of the subtotal. The way it needs to work is to allow the user to select an option menu (much like the options for shipping method in the General Store) based on the following subtotal when it appears on the ShoppingCart.tpl:  $499.99 or less - 4% $500.00 - $1499.00 - 3% $1500.00 or more - 2%   I need to be able to then have the shipping costs (based on the above percentages of the subtotal) appear as shipping costs in the ThankYou.tpl file. I am certain that there is a way to calculate the field [shipCost] using the [math] context but have yet to see an example that would fit the above scenario.   I am hoping that someone out there has had a need for this type of calculation and can assist with a solution.
