b3ngh1 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Is there a way to completely disable shipping on a product by product basis? Some products I sell require shipping, and I want to give people shipping options. Other products I sell cannot be shipped because they are service-only products. When people buy mixture of services and books, or books only, I want to offer a variety of shipping options. When people buy only services, I either want to just not mention shipping, or tell people that no shipping is required and/or available. My problem: It looks like currently it's only possible to enable and *always* allow people to choose from a variety of shipping options, no matter if the item requires shipping or not, or I can disable shipping completely and give people no choice at all. Giving people a choice of shipping options when there really isn't any option at all is confusing, and worse it gives people a way to pay for something I can't give them. I've looked through the options and shipping modules and contributed shipping modules and have googled quite a bit and read through everything in this forum about shipping I can find and haven't yet found a way to do what I want to do. Is it possible? Will have to hack something? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
