Sam-AUST Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm just wondering which is the best method for all products to offer "free shipping", can any of the default modules just be set to $0.00 (and it will work)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yes, you can just set the Flat module to $0.00 and it will work. A few changes to the language files would make it easier to understand, but are not strictly required. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

♥Tsimi Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I thought that osC has a build in Free Shipping option. Admin Area -> Modules -> Order Total -> Shipping Set Free Shipping to true and amount to 0 and choose for domestic, international or both. The only thing that needs to be done is edit the text that shows on the checkout_shipping.php Free shipping for orders over $0.00 Sounds just stupid so instead of "Free shipping for orders over $0.00" maybe "Free shipping for all orders" or something like that. Or of course as Jim said set the Flat module to 0.00 and change the language definition to show something more appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AUST Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think flat rate would be better and can change the wording, because I also want to offer express post and when you do free shipping, it results in only free shipping i thought.

True, then you are better off with Jims solution. That way you can customized it more. The build in Free Shipping function doesn't consider the shipping modules but only the total amount.

Guest Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 It seems easy enough to configure free shipping for all products but what if I want (and I do) to offer free shipping only on some products but not others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Tsimi Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 @fiddlehead Open the following file catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/order_total/ot_shipping.php and search for this language definition define('FREE_SHIPPING_DESCRIPTION', 'Free shipping for orders over %s'); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlehead Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Thanks for your help. But I can't find it. I imagine that's in the code. And I will have to get my IT guy to help then. I don't want to mess with changing code. I thought there would be a way to do it from the dashboard. I made the change to free shipping but can't really tell the customers that. Yet.
