Free Shipping On Orders Over?

[kdogg]

I've setup my cart to give free shipping on orders over $150 dollars. I would like this to be before sales tax though.

 

Right now, if someone orders an item for say $145.00, the sales tax puts this item enough over the $150.00 mark that they get free shipping.

 

I want the free shipping to be only based on the actual item cost, not the sales taxes.

 

What do I need to adjust to fix this?

Why not make the discount inclusive of tax?

If, for example, sales tax on an order of $150 is $30 then make the discount kick in at $180 and explain the discount "target" includes tax.

Would this aproach help you?

Because we only charge sales tax to people in our home state. This issues is only affecting people here in Michigan.

 

If I set the target to $XXX.XX which includes the tax, then people outside of Michigan will have to hit that target too.

 

I'm actually looking to change my whole free shipping thing to a coupon system anyway so I can add other coupons too.
