I need a flat-rate shipping applied to all products, except for digital goods in the store. To do this I've used the weight table, and set all physical goods to 1 lb and the $ amount, and all digital goods to 0 lb. Pretty close but...
This is the glitch: if I add a mixture of products (digital and physical) to my cart, then upon viewing my cart remove all physical products - the S&H charge still remains. Is it not re-calculated upon updating the cart? I don't want to charge people shipping for something that's delivered digitally.
Thanks for any guidance, or suggestions on better ways to approach this!!

Hey @BlueAirplane
I tried out the exact setting and it worked well for me, when I removed the item, the Shipping and Handling was gone.
I think you don't have to use the weight table here, just use flat rate. Digital products won't have a shipping charge by default.
Can you please try the Flat rate instead of the weight table and Let me know?

Thanks for your support Arun,
The only catch in my setup is that I don't have a direct product download for these digital products. My client needs to manually e-mail them the contents after the purchase.
Without having a digital download file uploaded, is there still a way to tell digital goods apart from physical in regards to shipping costs?

Ah, that explains it.
Why don't you upload a sample text file or something and just contain the information that says the file will be emailed to you shortly?
That should do it, don't you think?

Thanks Arun and Timothy,
I used your work around method of uploading a .txt file.
In future additions it would be great to have a check box on each product page simply for "Don't charge shipping on this item". But overall awesome stuff with MarketPress! Thanks!

Makes sense. I will pass that to the dev. Glad it worked for you. :)
