How do I remove Shipping All Together?

[Guest]

The product I'm selling is actually a service, thus, the shipping page will be very confusing for my customers. How do I remove the shipping page from the checkout process?

 

Thank you for your help. I'm a PHP noivice if that helps with your answer.

You should be able to "remove" all of the shipping modules in the admin->shipping configuration screen. With no shipping modules, it should just bypass that screen altogether.

 

You can always "re-install" those shipping modules via admin.

 

Also, if all of your "products" are virtual/downloads then shipping will automatically be by-passed.

you can also set your products to 0 pounds

Umm...all of my products are set to 0 pounds...my customers are still presented with a shipping page. I have a delivery charge that is not based on weight, hence 0 pounds works for me.

I think disabling all shipping modules would be sufficient.

If you really want to avoid seeing the shipping confirmation page altogether, go to /catalog/includes/classes/shopping_cart.php, find the function get_content_type() and replace the code inside that function with

return $this->content_type = 'virtual';

This will take you straight to Payment Information.

Thanks for all the advice!

 

I changed the function to:

 

function get_content_type() {

return $this->content_type = 'virtual';

 

But still get the shipping page.... bummer. I'm at a loss, here.

Wow! Worked without the quotes! Thanks!

 

Now, I only have to get rid of the:

 

"Please choose from your address book where you would like the invoice to be sent to" from this page:

 

/oscommerce/checkout_payment.php

 

We won't be sending out an invoice...
