Free Shipping

[Collines]

Hi

 

I am having a problem with free shipping on a number of my sites. When I offer free shipping at an amount say $40. If a customer has an order for less than $40, say $36 then progresses through the checkout procedure and during the checkout procedure returns to the checkout_shipping page this customer suddenly gets free shipping even though their order is less than $40.

 

Has anyone found a work around to this solution?

 

OR........

 

One solution I did make was to install the module freeshipper. This seems to resolve the problem but on the page checkout_shipping, it displays the regular shipping amount as well as the free shipping amount.

(1)Is there a way to make this module only display the free shipping option if the order is less than the free shipping amount ($40 in this case)?

(2) Using this module, is there a way make an order total line like 'Shipping: 0.00' or 'shipping: FREE' in the order total block so that the customer can see on their invoice that the shipping is free?

 

Many Thanks in advance.

It's a bug...when you go back after gettin to checkout_shipping it calculates the total inc delivery, this will fix it.

 

for the ot_shipping module for free shipping over £xx

in catalog/checkout_shipping.php, approx. line 85

 

Find:

if ( ($pass == true) && ($order->info['total'] >= MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_SHIPPING_FREE_SHIPPING_OVER) ) {

$free_shipping = true;

 

Change to:

if ( ($pass == true) && ($cart->show_total() >= MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_SHIPPING_FREE_SHIPPING_OVER) ) {

$free_shipping = true;

 

I had to do similar changes to some of my shipping modules as well so you'll have to check them too.

Ahhhh thank you.

 

I am surprised that this bug has not been sorted out years ago. Some of my sites were running the latest Github version of osCommerce and this was happening.

Yes, I know. Old bugs, new bugs, never ending cycle me thinks. I'm just pleased I knew the answer for a change instead of just begging for help!

Maybe the bug has never been reported? I never reported as the reporting system always seemed like a labyrynth.

I reported it!
