Free shipping for X number of the same product.

[Guest]

Hi!

I have a shop that I am currently building and I am having some problems trying to work out how to give the customer free shipping if they order 3 or more of the same product.

 

i.e. 3 x Red yoyos = Free Shipping

 

BUT

 

1 x Yellow Yoyo

1 x Pink Yoyo

1 x Black Yoyo = Charged for shipping.

 

 

Is there something that I can do to allow this.

 

Thanks,

 

Owain.

are these colors in your example product attributes? or separate products? Either case you edit your shipping module function quote. And you retrieve the products from the cart.

 

$products = $cart->get_products();
for( $i=0, $n=sizeof($products); $i<$n; $i++) {
 if($products[$i]['qty'] >= 3) {
// flag free shipping for this item and recalculate cost.
	}
		}

further down when it assigns the $cost variable to the shipping method you could subtract the items that should have free shipping. And make the $cart object global in the quote function.

My actual example is bags of dog food.

 

I want to give free shipping to anyone that orders 3 bags of dog food, doesnt matter what make or size.
