Free shipping on item, not entire basket


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

 

I am looking for a way to specify an item to get free shipping.

 

What i want is:

 

  • Product A - Free Shipping
  • Product B - Standard Shipping

 

If a customer buy's Product A only, they get free shipping but still see the shipping page at checkout

If a customer buy's Product B onlu, they pay standard shipping

If a customer buy's both A and B, they only pay for standard shipping for product B

 

The reason for this is, Product A isnt an actual physical product, but a virtual one. I dont want to use oscommerce's download feature because it isnt actually a download.

 

If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.

step 1: Add a flag for free shipping thru admin.

 

Now in your shipping module in quote function just make sure that While YOU get the cart total You get another total for products with these flags set to true.

 

Deduct the two and then apply the table rate or what ever shippinh module logic.

I probably should have said this beforehand. I'm not a coder, so I wouldnt be able to code from scratch. If anybody can help with that that would be great.

 

Thanks,

This is exactly what I need as well. I've tried using the Free Shipping by Categories contribution http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4475 but it doesn't work properly. If it is just a "free shipping" item, the shipping page shows the proper zero amount. If it is not a free shipping item, the shipping page shows the proper Fedex zone quote, but if it is a mixed cart with a free shipping item and a regular shipping item, the fedex zone quote is much higher than the quote given for just the regular shipping item and I do have it set to subtract the weight of the free item. It could be that it's not actually doing the subtraction, but I'm not a coder either so cannot really tell.
