dooka Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Hi list, Is there a way to specify free shipping only on certain products? Three possible options for a customer: 1. product that includes free shipping (a subscription to a magazine for instance) 2. regular product that does include shipping 3. mixed: some items that require shipping and others that don't, but the customer will pay for the shipping for the products that require it. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooka Posted January 12, 2004 Author Share Posted January 12, 2004 If there isn't a built in option, perhaps a code hack for this? Thank you much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Use a shipping method which goes by weight, eg zones, and simply set the weight of those products to 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooka Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hi Julie, Thank you for the reply. Are you suggesting that I only use Zone shipping? Right now I'm using USPS and UPS. Also, I tried using Zone shipping. I set my product to 0 weight and my tare weight in Configuration/Shipping Packaging to 0 as well. Whenever I try to checkout, I still get a weight of .1 lbs, which then charges $8.50 (what I set) for shipping. I can't seem to get the weight to be 0. Any ideas? Thanks again.

Guest Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 OK - there is a module called Free Shipping which I tried to find separately but could only find packaged up with the downloads controller http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,994 I use it for my downloadable goods and basically it is a separate payment module which kicks in when the total weight of the goods is 0. So you would set the weight of your free shipping items to 0 and when it came to the shipping page, if that was all that was ordered, only the free shipping module would show as a shipping option. If you had goods with a weight, then they would be tallied as normal along with the others. I don't know how the UPS module works - I adapted the zones module for Royal mail postal rates, which all go by weight. You would need to separate out the free shipping bits from the downloads controller but I don't think that would be too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
