    Default Free Delivery for Some Products

    We have some products that can have a choice of in-store pick-up or free delivery. How do we set up free delivery as a choice on just those products. We have tried creating different product types and experimented with the free shipping, but we are missing how to specify by product that it is eligible for free delivery.

    Have you tried marking the products as:
    Always Free Shipping: Yes, Always Free Shipping

    Thank you so much for your reply.

    When we mark a product as yes, always free shipping (turning on the free shipping module), we see the free shipping on top, but the order defaults to store pick-up. I suppose we could change the free shipping text to say free delivery, and there must be a way to set that choice to default.

    We may want to offer free shipping on some items as well. Free shipping would go through UPS to the customer's shipping address. Free delivery would go to the customer's school location. (Their school is a sub-category, if that helps.) In this case, how would customers distinguish free delivery from free shipping?

    We will also have some items that will be store pick-up only, and cannot be shipped. This complicates things a bit. We are thinking we may have to use a different product type for free delivery and/or no-ship items, rather than general merchandise. Your guidance is appreciated.

    Do you have something that identifies the products that are only Store Pickup?

    Things like all products in a particular category or a particular manufacturer?

    What happens if 1 of the products is Store Pickup only and you have other products in the cart ... should it only be Store Pickup?

    No, we don't currently have something that identifies products that are only store pick-up (no-ship). They are just big, bulky items that are not practical to ship. That is one reason we were thinking of modifying and using one of the different product types, other than general.

    Using a special manufacturer designation is an idea. Also, category would probably work. Our store is not currently using the manufacturer field for any products, though they probably will in the future. Can we specify no-ship by manufacturer or category?

    If one product in the cart is no-ship, we can have the whole cart be store pick-up only. We could explain in the product description that it may be best to place separate orders for the no-ship products.

    We need to distinguish some products as free delivery as well.

    The idea is to have some way to identify these Products ...

    You could use in the FREE SHIPPING freeshipper the code in RED to turn it off when there are any manufacturers_id = 3
    Code:
          if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
            $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FREESHIPPER_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
          }
    
    // bof: turn off for manufacturers_id 3
    if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
      $chk_man = $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('manufacturers_id','3');
      $this->enabled = false;
    }
    // eof: turn off for manufacturers_id 3
