Guest Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I have been searching and hoping that there is a contribution or maybe a combination of contribs that will allow me to do this, but aside from the freeamount contrib I have found nothing. Since we are selling small items(trinkets) and large items(tires) that are very heavy and expensive to ship, we wanted to offer free shipping on orders over $100 with the exception of certain large products for which we always need to charge shipping on. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I'm desperate!! I know somebody else has had to have needed or found something since many e-carts have this.

I've been asking for months and no one helps. I'm about to start looking at other cart options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pure11 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 would be great to have a mod to enable free shipping over X amount of dollars, or to specify a free item with orders over X amount of dollars would also be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satish Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 You need to tweak the shipping module code. Implement the following. In admin add a text for shipping cost and place cost for higher weight products that You want to charge. Now within Your quote function cart needs to be bifercated into two parts one with normal products and other that needs to eb charged. So internally this code will calculate two shipping and add and come to a final cost. For a person aware of shipping and how to get cart products this would be pretty easy.

headwave Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Is there anny news on this item I also searching for a weight restriction on free shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I, too, am looking for a solution for free shipping over 110$ but under 15 (kilos) in weight. This way I can make heavy/big products weigh over 15 and charge shipping for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satish Well I'm still trying to figure this one out, I'm a beginner when it comes to code so I need a lot of help with this. I'm really surprised that this doesn't already exist. I would like to figure out a way to add an extra field to the products description that I can check with a 'yes' or 'no' as to whether they qualify for free shipping. Then some how implent that with the freeamount, so that the system see's anything in the cart over $99 will ship for free, except those items checked as not eligible for free shipping. Anyone have any ideas??? I honestly don't know where to start. Edited November 16, 2007 by skylab001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satish Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 function quote($method = '') { global $order; there is a function quote. There we do have global $order. Use this to get the cart weight and if it exceeds certain weight just add some cost. In short looking at the function quote will help.

Since version 3, the FreeAmount contrib has a maximum weight option in the admin settings. As is, it would work only if one tire weight would be greater than orders for >$100 of small trinkets but you might be able to make it work...

Try adding something like this to includes/modules/shipping/freeamount.php ABOVE this line: if ( ($this->enabled == true) && ((int)MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEAMOUNT_ZONE > 0) ) { ADD: // BOF Country Check allow only this country to receive free shipping : this is hard-coded for United States country id 223 if ( ($this->enabled == true) && ($order->delivery['country']['id'] != 223) ) { $this->enabled = false; } // EOF Country Check change the 223 to whatever your country_id is Make sure to test it out!
