Sell a product with pickup only option - Not shipped at all

**john_zaneta** · 7 Dec 2011, 08:22 PM

Hi thanks for you time, using v1.3.9h. Is there a way to sell a product that I can set to be a pick-up only product? I don't want to ship certain products due to the extreme inconvience or cost of shipping the product. I'm relatively new at Zen-Cart, so please be specific. Thank you, John

You could turn off the shipping modules by testing for the Products in the cart ...

Example, on the Flat Rate flat shipping module you could add the code in RED to prevent the module from working for products_id 12, 17 and 18:

Code:

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
        $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }

// bof: turn off for various products in the cart
      if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
        global $db, $cart;
        // check how many products are in the cart for products_id 12, 17, 18
        $chk_products = 0;
        $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id', '12');
        $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id', '17');
        $chk_products += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('products_id', '18');
        if ($chk_products > 0) {
          // turn off shipping module
          $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }
// eof: turn off for various products in the cart

Hi there

I have a similar requirement as the original poster.
Was just wondering if it would be possible to make a product category for "NO SHIPPING"goods.

then could you add code that disables shipping if any product from that category is included

Thanks

You could check the master_categories_id for categories_id 10 with:

Code:

$_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id', '10');

and adapt the code so that all the other shipping modules do not run, and if Store Pickup is only for those items then adapt it for that or else it can be left as is to always run ...

Is there any way to make this option available when a product is being set up, instead of code. I'm trying to simplify the process, if possible. Will this be an option in the future updates of ZenCart. Thank you, John

If you customize the code for whether to run or not run the shipping modules based on that one categories_id when it is used as the master_categories_id of the Products then when ever you add a Product to that Category it will be setup for this ...

You do, however, need to make the code modifications for this so that the content of the cart are tested ...
