Tell customer how much more to spend to get free shipping

delaen · May 1, 2003

In includesboxesshopping_cart.php

REPLACE:

  if ($cart->count_contents() > 0) {

   $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => tep_draw_separator());

   $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'right',

                                'text' => $currencies->format($cart->show_total()));

 }

WITH:

  if ($cart->count_contents() > 0) {

   $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => tep_draw_separator());

   $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'right',

                                'text' => $currencies->format($cart->show_total()));

        

if ($cart->show_total() < MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_SHIPPING_FREE_SHIPPING_OVER) {

 $add_to_get_free_shipping = MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_SHIPPING_FREE_SHIPPING_OVER - $cart->show_total();

     $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'right',

                                      'text' => sprintf(BOX_SHOPPING_CART_FREE_SHIPPING, $currencies->format($add_to_get_free_shipping)));

 

}

 }

In includeslanguagesenglish.php

ADD:

define('BOX_SHOPPING_CART_FREE_SHIPPING', 'Add %s to your order and receive FREE shipping!');

This will stick a message into your shopping cart box telling the customer how much more they need to add to their cart to qualify for free shipping.

I haven't tested this on anything that didn't have the "buy over a certain amount, get free shipping" option on, so be sure to test this first with your version.

To see a working copy, go to my site and add something to your cart. I didn't really think this qualified as a contribution, so I stuck it in this forum. Hopefully this isn't something that someone has done a long time ago and I just missed :P

Druide · May 2, 2003

very nice one, thanks for your effort

delaen · May 2, 2003

Instead of making you go through all that effort just to see what it looks like, I'll just post a picture :P

Mr. Ree · May 3, 2003

I would love to add this feature but I am a bit baffled.

In my catalogincludesboxesshopping_cart.php you say to look for;

  if ($cart->count_contents() > 0) { 

   $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => tep_draw_separator()); 

   $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'right', 

                                'text' => $currencies->format($cart->show_total())); 

 }

Mine looks like this;

if ($cart->count_contents() > 0) {

   $cart_contents_string = '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">';

   $products = $cart->get_products(); // $products[$i]['id'] .. $products[$i]['name'] .. $products[$i]['quantity']

   for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($products); $i++) {

     $cart_contents_string .= '<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="infoBoxContents">';



     if ((tep_session_is_registered('new_products_id_in_cart')) && ($new_products_id_in_cart == $products[$i]['id'])) {

       $cart_contents_string .= '<span class="newItemInCart">'; // highlight product quantity

     } else {

       $cart_contents_string .= '<span class="infoBoxContents">';

     }

This is from Ian's MS1 Loaded 5 with shopping_cart.php,v 1.1.1.1 2002/11/28 which looks a great deal like the current CVS.

What version boxes/shopping_cart.php are you using?

TIA

delaen · May 3, 2003

It should be further down the page. The current shopping_cart.php looks like this:

<?php

<!-- shopping_cart //-->

         <tr>

           <td>

<?php

 $info_box_contents = array();

 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_SHOPPING_CART);



 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, true, tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART));



 $cart_contents_string = '';

 if ($cart->count_contents() > 0) {

   $cart_contents_string = '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">';

   $products = $cart->get_products();

   for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($products); $i<$n; $i++) {

     $cart_contents_string .= '<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="infoBoxContents">';



     if ((tep_session_is_registered('new_products_id_in_cart')) && ($new_products_id_in_cart == $products[$i]['id'])) {

       $cart_contents_string .= '<span class="newItemInCart">';

     } else {

       $cart_contents_string .= '<span class="infoBoxContents">';

     }



     $cart_contents_string .= $products[$i]['quantity'] . ' x </span></td><td valign="top" class="infoBoxContents"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id']) . '">';



     if ((tep_session_is_registered('new_products_id_in_cart')) && ($new_products_id_in_cart == $products[$i]['id'])) {

       $cart_contents_string .= '<span class="newItemInCart">';

     } else {

       $cart_contents_string .= '<span class="infoBoxContents">';

     }



     $cart_contents_string .= $products[$i]['name'] . '</span></a></td></tr>';



     if ((tep_session_is_registered('new_products_id_in_cart')) && ($new_products_id_in_cart == $products[$i]['id'])) {

       tep_session_unregister('new_products_id_in_cart');

     }

   }

   $cart_contents_string .= '</table>';

 } else {

   $cart_contents_string .= BOX_SHOPPING_CART_EMPTY;

 }



 $info_box_contents = array();

 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $cart_contents_string);



 if ($cart->count_contents() > 0) {

   $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => tep_draw_separator());

   $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'right',

                                'text' => $currencies->format($cart->show_total()));

 }



 new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

           </td>

         </tr>

<!-- shopping_cart_eof //-->

The part that needs changed is:

  if ($cart->count_contents() > 0) {

   $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => tep_draw_separator());

   $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'right',

                                'text' => $currencies->format($cart->show_total()));

 }

It should be around line 57.

Great tip thanks :)

Also great site too, very amazon -esk ;)

May 3, 2003

he he he also just noticed this on your cart

Your shopping cart is empty. This is an indication that you are not buying enough.

LMAO :lol:

Sorry to go off topic :oops:

Mr. Ree · May 3, 2003

Too sweet!

Thanks Bob!

May 3, 2003

added this feature but it's calculating wrong. You must buy $100 or more for free ship. It's calculating it at $50

May 3, 2003

problem corrected, nice contrib. Thanks!

May 3, 2003

how did you get it to read Sub-total in the cart area?

delaen · May 4, 2003

problem corrected, nice contrib. Thanks!

Was it a problem with this code, or something else? Glad you got it working anyway.

May 4, 2003

problem was me :) I didn't do something right. I started over and it worked. Thanks a bunch!

Oh and I found out how to do the sub-total thing as well:)

Thanks

Love your site

Stephan Gebbers · May 4, 2003

What do i have to add that it does show up only when free shipping is enabled in admin?

Regards,

Stephan Gebbers

Stephan Gebbers · May 5, 2003

hey, i did it this way now..

using MS1 loaded5

-setting the EUR or USD to 0.00 in Admin>Modules>Order-Total>Shipping will disable the display

if ($cart->show_total() > 0) {

if ($cart->show_total() < MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_SHIPPING_FREE_SHIPPING_OVER) {

     $add_to_get_free_shipping = MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_SHIPPING_FREE_SHIPPING_OVER - $cart->show_total();

         $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'right',

                                        'text' => sprintf(BOX_SHOPPING_CART_FREE_SHIPPING, $currencies->format($add_to_get_free_shipping)));

  }

 }

L8er,

Yea, that should work for now. I'll see if I can find time to code it in a real way. I think it should only take about 2 seconds and 2 lines of code though.

May 6, 2003

How can anyone do the following;I am not guru on this,please be gentle.

1In order to receive free shipment customer required to buy certain number of pieces of an item. e.g Buy 100 of an item and get free shipment

2)In order to receive free shipment customer required to buy certain number of pieces of an multible items.e.g.Buy total of 100 items and get free shipment.

Thanks in advance.

delaen · May 6, 2003

I'm not really sure. Sorry. :(

gman · May 10, 2003

Great tip!

How do I get the "You are $X.XX away from FREE ground shipping" within the product_info page? and to work with an additional language as well?

I am testing a site with English and Spanish catalog content, and would need for message to change if customer selects Spanish or goes by default via browser to Spanish language version.

Hope you can help. For a view of test site : http://www.directmark.net/mp/dmp/product_i...434796192b928e9

Thanks.

Great tip!

I don't use any other languages, but I assume you would just have to add

define('BOX_SHOPPING_CART_FREE_SHIPPING', 'Add %s to your order and receive FREE shipping!');

to that languages main page, and change the text to the right language.

About the other part: I haven't tested this in the least, but try adding

	if ($cart->show_total() < MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_SHIPPING_FREE_SHIPPING_OVER) {

 $add_to_get_free_shipping = MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_SHIPPING_FREE_SHIPPING_OVER - $cart->show_total();

 echo '<p>' . sprintf(BOX_SHOPPING_CART_FREE_SHIPPING, $currencies->format($add_to_get_free_shipping));

}

in product_info.php wherever you want to display the message. If that doesn't work at all...let me know.

Tried above code. Seems to work fine. Thanks for your help, Delaen.

i have attempted this and i get the same problem marie was getting where it calculates at $50 dollars instead of the $265.00 set in the shipping modules admin screen.

any suggestions?

June 6, 2003

look in admin>modules>order total>shipping and make sure you have that set at whatever you want. It defaulted back to $50 on me, that was where I was having my problem

chet · June 6, 2003

Has someone done the same with the quantity discount module ?

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1159

I cannot find the module used with this free shipping hack
