Disguised Discount in Shipping – Smart Shipping Fee Compensation for Products

Disguised Discount in Shipping for OpenCart

Disguised Discount in Shipping is a smart OpenCart extension that lets you reduce product prices and compensate the difference through an additional shipping fee. This is ideal for situations where you want to show a lower product price but maintain your actual revenue discreetly.

Core Features:

• Per-Product Shipping Compensation: Set an extra amount to be added to the shipping cost if a specific product is present in the cart.
• Global Multiplier: Choose whether the compensation is multiplied by the quantity purchased (e.g. $50 × 5 units = $250) or only applied once per product.
• Per-Product Override: Override global settings for each product individually. Apply multiplier per product or set it to fixed mode.
• Frontend Integration: Input field directly on the product edit page for easy configuration.
• Lightweight & Compatible: Clean code, uses OpenCart's order total mechanism. Works with OpenCart 3.x and 4.x.

Use Case Example:

You sell Product A with a retail price of $100. You want to show it at $50, but keep your revenue. Simply set a $50 shipping surcharge for Product A. If the customer buys 1 unit, shipping will increase by $50. If they buy 5, it can increase by $50 or $250 depending on your global or per-product multiplier setting.

Ideal for:

• Online stores using discount strategies via price hiding
• Drop-shipping setups needing per-product shipping markup
• Special pricing for B2B, agents, or affiliate networks
