Shipping costs per country served #35

Feasible to get the cheapest quote from the shipping modules? Here's what I hard-coded previously/was accepted.

ES SEUR 24 0 EUR 1 2 1 2

Getting shipping modules 'involved' will seriously affect the amount of time needed to generate the feed and would not necessarily be valid for a cart that includes multiple products. There are settings within the GPSF configuration for the more-static shipping-modules, e.g. flat.

Maybe hard-coding it is better....as long as it gets validated by GMC, it doesn't need to be accurate.

I'll note this email from the Merchant centre.

Sounds like a good application for the GPSF extensions.

I think this is just about keeping the feed valid as far as Google is concerned, but not necessarily accurate! If someone gets as far as putting items in the cart that's almost job done.

If timeouts are a problem, is it an option to generate a feed then parse that file to add the shipping as a separate operation?
