I want to offer Free shipping on all orders over $250.00 Which we are already doing. BUT i want to also offer other shipping options when they qualify for free shipping becuase some people want to pay for faster shipping. but when the option says Free shipping it doesn't show the other options... i also want to make it so there is a weight limit on the free shipping how do i do all these things??
Have you enabled(installed) additional shipping methods? i.e. UPS or USPS?
admin > modules > shipping > and check for "green dots" next to desired methods. If red dot > select and install. For most you are required to obtain an account with the provider and that account information is entered in the appropriate areas in this setup screen
Yes we are already enabled and running on the USPS shipping thats not the problem the problem is the Free shipping on order totals over 250.00 but i want to restrict the weight and i also want to allow the customer to choose from faster methods if they want to
can some one help me with this please?? Is there something i am not stating correctly please ask me questions
Right now i have the Order Total and then in the Free shipping part i have 250.00 in there so that solves the Free shipping on orders over 250.00 But now if the total is over 250 and the customer wants to pay for faster shipping method it doesn't show anything at all.... So how can i get it to show other shipping options??? Then what i want is no free shipping on any orders over 50lbs no matter the order total.. How do you do that??
What you are wanting is control of shipping in a slightly different manner than the norm ...
This is fortunately built in to Zen Cart ... and can be done with a minor tweak for that weight control of < 50
Install Shipping Module UPS ups ...
Install Shipping Module Free Shipping Options freeoptions ...
On Free Shipping Options configure this for:
Quote:
Enable Free Options Shipping
True
Shipping Cost 0.00
Handling Fee 0
Total >= 250
Total <=
Weight >=
Weight <= 50
Item Count >=
Item Count <=
Tax Class --none--
Tax Basis Shipping
Shipping Zone --none--
Sort Order 0
NOTE: The difference between blanks and 0 ... leave blank unless otherwise indicated ...
Now, because you are using a weight criteria that is slightly different ... you will need 1 line of code changed in the:
/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php
Edit line 175:
Change to read:PHP Code:if ($this->ck_freeoptions_total or $this->ck_freeoptions_weight or $this->ck_freeoptions_items) {
What this will do is make the weight control when to turn off the Free Shipping Option because the weight is too high ...PHP Code:if ($this->ck_freeoptions_total and $this->ck_freeoptions_weight or $this->ck_freeoptions_items) {
Meanwhile in either case, UPS and Free Shipping show when:
1 Order is < $250 UPS no Free Shipping Option
2 Order is >= $250 UPS and Free Shipping Option show
3 Weight is > 50.00 UPS but Free Shipping Option turns off regardless of order total ...
OK but can't i do it with the USPS becuase we don't ship threw UPS?
i did the code thing it is allowing free shipping under 50 Lbs
Ok how do we also use that shipping module but don't want to allow it to any where but the USA??
I still can't get it to work right.. It works for the 250.00 orders but it is still giving free shipping on orders over 50Lbs and anywhere in the world...
What version of Zen Cart are you using?
Clean install or Upgrade?
If an upgrade, from what version and how?
Did you edit the Free Shipping Options freeoptions file with the change?
