detriMENtal Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Hey, im wishing to get free shipping for selected products. Each week i would like to pick a few different products that i can enable free shipping on. How can i do this? What i tried, is to set the weight of the product to zero. But when i do this is still thinks the product weighs 14kgs and other funny things in checkout. Anyone got any help and ideas on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 you could add an entry to the database, to give you an entry section in admin. Then use an array statement Quote No longer giving free advice. Please place deposit in meter slot provided.

detriMENtal Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 any chance on some further clarification on that. i really dont want to stuff anything up. so add another field to the products relation in the database. Then if thats set to true the item is ticked for free shipping? Then in all the product view pages, and also in the checkout when in calculates shipping, i would have to have an IF statement to make sure i dont price up shipping IF the current product is elligible for free shipping. Thats where would have problems, wouldnt knwo how to do the IF statement properly. Not very familiar with all the OO in this software.

Anyone got any help and ideas on this <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that is because it adds the tare weight (packaging) to the product weights. You could check in your shipping module if the total cart weight = 0 and if so not add the tare weight and handle it as free shipping for that product.

djmonkey1 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 It might be overkill but you could use the Multi Vendor Shipping contribution. I want to run promotions like this also, so I set up a vendor called "Free Shipping" and enabled one shipping module, Flat Rate, with the price set at $0.00. Once you get the contrib installed it's very easy to do this, and it's very easy to change the vendor of the product (for this contribution, vendor and shipping category are basically the same thing), so you could easily accomplish what you're looking for here with this addition. Hope this helps! Cheers, Stew Quote Do, or do not. There is no try. Order Editor 5.0.6 "Ultra Violet" is now available!

MrE03 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 im having the same problem, i didnt notice this until recently when customers started telling me, but even when i change the tare weight to 0 i still have a shipping quote for some reason.

radders Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Justin, Try setting the first step in your list of shipping rates for each zone to have a zero price and a weight of .01. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
