Bypass shipping for service products


cpruissen

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

My company sells physical products, downloads, and Website hosting and domain name purchases. Now......I've set up the Canada Post shipping module for the physical products and all is well. The downloads area is working grand too.

 

My questions is........how do I stop the shipping from being charged on the service products such as Website hosting and domain name purchases? Try as I might, I can't quite get it.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Add the Downloads Controller v5.3 and use 0 weight on things without shipping and Free Shipping will popup.

 

Or, modify the checkout_shipping.php and /includes/classes/shopping_cart.php to figure out that 0 weight products with no download have no shipping and extend the free shipping feature built in based on order total.

 

Might be a few other files to edit along the way, but that is the general idea.

I read the 'Download controller' contrib and it seems it will add more features than needed.

 

Please provide an option to simply make a certain item have no shipping charges.

 

I read somewhere in the forum that if you made it 'downloadable' it will not be shippable.

 

I went to the product attributes and thought i mage it 'downloadble' but it still wanted to add shipping.

 

 

Thanks!

You are always welcome to hire me for the custom work ... 8)

 

Or, you can wait until the new releases come out ... as I have time to write these free add-ons.

 

The new Shoppe Enhancement Controller which combines the Attributes Sorter and Copier, Downloads Controller, Quantity Controller, Free Call for Price and numerous other add-ons and tricks (I do think it will be any day ... it is so close to being done) has this in it so you can specify attribute weight per product per attribute plus one time attribute charges on top of the regular attribute price*qty purchased.

 

At some point when that is working 100% for people I will look into cutting out the peice you want of it as a stand alone.
