Hack To Get Free Shipping From The Osc Demo

[WedgeCoop]

If a customer manipulates form data, its possible to get free shipping from the OSCommerce demo and from some live OSC shops, even if you don't qualify to get that free shipping.

 

This is what I did:

 

-Put items in my shopping cart.

-Go to the checkout_shipping.php page.

-Copy the page source.

-Save the source to my local computer.

-Search the code for flat_flat (this depends on what shipping module you use).

-Replace that with free_free.

-View the local page and submit it back to the OSC store.

 

You now have free shipping.

 

If you check your orders before you send them out, this isn't a huge problem. You can just cancel the order.

 

I fixed this in my store, but it is heavily customized, so I don't know if my solution would work for other stores. I just deleted the if statement used with free_free.

 

If this has been discussed before, I apologize. I did a search and couldn't find any results.
