Guest Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 hello, we are running into a problem when filling orders. some of our customers are friends and want to give us cash instead of the option of credit cards or check/money order. friends of the company can go ahead and fill in the order via osc, but that means they will be charged with shipping, but we are not shipping the product out because we are giving it to them by hand. we want them to go through osc so we can keep track of stock all in one place. is there a way to get around this? thanks.

Christian Lescuyer Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Modify the shipping module so it sets the shipping to 0 for friends? Christian Lescuyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 that might work, but it seems that i would have to find out a way to let osc know what a "friend" is so i don't have to manually change it to 0. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christlabs Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 If you have the contribution Credit Class & Gift Voucher http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,282 Just make a coupon that gives free shipping and they can also select Check/Money Order for the payment type. I have an order editor also installed so I can go in an update orders - to show they will pay in cash - just erase the line that says Check/Money Order and type in Cash on the line.

Guest Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 um christlabs that sounds like an idea which order editor are u using. i think i like that idea better because i assume that in invoice that the friend will still see the shipping fee and that might confuse things. but allowing them to go through the osc checkout process and then subtract the shipping fee sounds cool and mibble i really don't want options for others to have pick up in the check out because then people that we don't know might expect this service and we can't do it for everyone. thanks for the help. and if anyone else has other ideas please let me know.

Guest Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 thanks for the link chris. i read that it is possible to add discounts but it did not say anything about removing the shipping fee with this mod. is this possible i have not installed it yet but before i did i wanted to make sure it is possible. thanks again.

radders Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Yes you can remove the shipping fee. It is very flexible. i don't know what I'd do without it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 thanks david, gonna try to install it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooka Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 radders, does this allow you to remove the shipping fee only for certain products? i don't want to charge shipping on some items (like magazine subscriptions), but i do want to charge shipping on everything else. would this contribution help me out? thank you kindly!

radders Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 It alows you to edit an individual order. Shipping is just one amount. You can type whatever you want in there in place of the calculated shipping cost. Only really worthwhile with small volumes of exception items.
