Magento: Performant display available shipping and payment methods on product detail page

I want to display available shipping and payment methods on the product detail page.

Payment method availability might for example depend on the product price. Shipping methods / price on the product type, weight, special attributes for the shipping type.

One way to display this information on the product detail page would be to create a temporary quote and collect the totals.

Is there a faster way to accomplish this without reproducing the logic that lies in the specific shipping and payment methods?

Logic tells me: no there isn't - because the payment and shipping methods can depend just on any properties of the quote.

But maybe somebody has an idea?

Maybe try using an ajax call to the controller that handles the calculations.

This gains you 2 things:

  1. You are using the central Magento logic (thus avoiding any potential errors when calculating it).
  2. The page does not need to reload thus avoiding a lot of overhead and user frustration.

Hope this was helpful.
