Free Shipping Rules addon [Support Thread]

Free Shipping Rules v1.0

Available for download and testing at:

http://www.numinix.com/index.php?mai...d=42&chapter=0

Description:

This shipping module (based on Free Options written by DrByte and Ajeh) allows merchants to offer free shipping when more than one requirement is set. These requirements include order total, total weight, and total items. For example, if the minimum order total is set to $1000 and the maximum weight is set to 5lbs, free shipping would only be given for orders that meet BOTH of these requirements. Free Options would be given if ANY of these requirements are met.

Does this allow you to designate a particular item as free shipping if within a certain zone and if a certain shipping method is chosen?

Example:

Item 1234
Free Shipping IF shipped to Zone A, B, or C and IF using shipping method X, Y, or Z

Otherwise.....regular shipping rates apply.

The idea is you might want to offer an item as Free Shipping but only if shipped to certain zones using certain methods.

What if someone wants Item 1234 overnighted to a Euro zone? If the shipping module accounts for geo-zones and shipping methods, this would be do-able.

Thanks :smile:

What this script does is exactly the same as FREE OPTIONS but instead of requiring only one rule to return true, all set rules must return true in order to receive free shipping.

For example, you would set order-total minimum to $200 and weight-total maximum to 5lbs. Then only orders that are over $200 and under 5lbs would be eligible for free shipping. You can make the free shipping available only to certain zones and the method of shipping would be your choice.

If the customer wants overnight shipping, your overnight shipping would still display at a cost. This script provides an EXTRA option for the customer whom is eligible.

Anyone tried on version ZC 1.3.8? Works?

Thanks.

yes it does.

i have kind of a weird request...haven't seen an answer to this in the forum, but i suspect it may be kind of difficult to do....i get the free shipping icon to come up when its an always free shipping item

but i want to get the free shipping icon to show up with my free shipping rules as well...for example my rule is any order that is over $100 and less than 10 lbs is free shipping...well how do i get each item in my catalog that meets the requirement of over $100, but less than 10 lbs to have the free shipping icon show up in my category and product page like the always free shipping does?

i hope this is possible to do...id appreciate any help with this..

Of course anything is possible, but not without some modifications.

I'm not looking at the code right now, but it would need to have a function that could be called to return true or false if the product is eligible for free shipping, then add that to the conditional statement for displaying the free shipping image.

The taxes were already updated, but the shipping hasn't yet been supported. It is on the to do list but isn't a priority at this time. Expect something similar to the eBid module with Per Category Shipping being supported first as well as other default Zen Cart shipping modules. Unfortunately modules that need to connect to an external server like FedEx will take some time to implement, let alone the amount of time they will cause the script to take and most likely cause any medium to large store to time out during the feed creation...

As per Rickie's request, here is the updated version: http://www.numinix.com/index.php?mai...roducts_id=755

It has also been uploaded to the Zen Cart download's section and should be available as soon as the ZC team has approved the update.

Can this be applied to just 1 product ? I want to allow free shipping on a certain product that meets certain requirements, but I don't want it to apply to all of my products. Thanks.

It is currently an all or nothing shipping module. You could modify the script to only appear if all of the products are from a specific category or are a specific product.

PM me if you need someone to do this for you. Or visit my website for more information on our services.

Does any one know how to get this module to work with the "Free Shipping Qualifier SideBox Module"?

You can use the logic that is applied to tpl_product_info_display.php:

PHP Code:

---

<?php if (MODULE_SHIPPING_FREERULES_STATUS == 'True') {
  include(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'shipping/freerules.php');
  $freerules = new freerules();
  if ($freerules->test((int)$_GET['products_id'])) {
    $freerules_shipping = true;
  } else {
    $freerules_shipping = false; 
  }
}
?>

  } else {
    $freerules_shipping = false; 
  }
}
?>

I don't really get what you mean...could you please elaborate on the specific steps?

Hi...
I was just reading all the posts in this thread but I wanted to know because I live in Canada with zones for provinces, I would like to offer free shipping on products totaling over $1000 and under 300lbs but the free shipping is only offered in a certain city??? Is this even possible... I know I should have investigated more in the forums but I like your addon so I had to ask you the question...

Thanks

Richard

Is it possible to offer free shipping by category?


For example if someone only orders items from Cat (1) and they meet a specific rule then free shipping applies.

But if they also order from Cat (b) no free shipping applies.

Thanks

Hi everyone -

was trying to get rid of the Free Shipping image (I only use free shipping for events) and I screwed something up.

There's a line of code showing:

Where can I get rid of that? Thanks!

I currently offer free (ground) shipping on all orders over $199.
Often, my customer rather pay to upgrade their shipping to either 3 day select or 2nd day air.

My cart doesn't currently offer any "upgraded" shipping methods if the customers order is over the $199.

Is there an easy fix to this problem? I'd really like the 3 Day Select and 2nd Day Air to still be a option which the customer can pay for if they choose.

Thanks for any help.

Why can't you simply add those shipping modules and then set a check to only enable if the order is over $199? Any programmer could do this for you in an hour...

Hi 1st want to say this module is very handy and works very well (good job)

i was just thinking can you help add an extra option to it to offer free shipping to a discount group?

The reason is i have a Forum and i offer free shipping to forum members but using a discount coupon code gives me not control over who uses it and people may tell their friends what it is.

So my thinking is to use discount group (set to 0 so they don't get money off the order) and have an option in this module that will display free shipping if they are in the forum discount group.

I have seen lots of request for a way of offing free shipping to a group so i think this added option will also help lots of others out there.

My coding skills are very basic so if anyone can help id be grateful.

<!--bof free ship icon -->
<?php if(zen_get_product_is_always_free_shipping($products_id_current) && $flag_show_product_info_free_shipping) { ?>
<div id="freeShippingIcon"><?php echo TEXT_PRODUCT_FREE_SHIPPING_ICON; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!--eof free ship icon -->
The code above is the one I found in the tpl_product_info_display.php
I assume it shows the free shipping icon if the product is set to always free shipping.
I would like to modify this code in order to show the free shipping icon also if the product comply with the free shipping conditions set in admin>modules>shipping.
I also would like that this free shipping icon pops up in the main page when a category is selected.
Can someone tell me how to modify the code?
I can make a small donation if needed.
Thanks

HELP HELP HELP!
I have a big problem.
I want to change the minimum order value for free shipping, but even if I change it in admin modules, it does not change in both "Shopping Cart Free-Shipping-Qualifier Sidebox" and in the text shown in the scheckhot shipping. Even more strange is that if the order value is over waht I set, it the order gets the free shipping correctly.
Where should I look for to set this?
Please help
thanks

Let me try to say this better.
I had a min order value set at 100. Then I set it at 50. What happens is that the free shipping is given correctly when the order is over 50, but the text and the calculation in Shopping Cart Free shipping qualifier, remains as if I did not change the value from 100 to 50.
It looks like that part of the software looks at the db, that I check, finding that the value of 50 was set correctly, while another part looks at te old value memorized somewere else.
Please tell me where I should look to find this wrongly memorized value.
thanks

i'm really curious if an option can be added where i can pick which group can get free shipping, i personally just want free shipping rules to apply to retail sales.

I recently upgraded php to 5.2 from the hosting company. After the upgrade this free shipping module comes with an error message in admin:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/content/<domain>/html/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php on line 50

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/content/</domain>/html/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php on line 67

Anyone has a solution?

I apply free ship to orders above MYR100 and below 1.6kg. However, why there are two options come out: free rules and zones table rate?

Shipping quotes are based on the address information you selected:
Kelantan Malaysia
Available Shipping Methods Rates
Free Shipping Rules (Free Rules) MYR0.00
Zone Rates (No shipping available to the selected country)
Zones Table Rate (1 x 1,545.00grams) (Within Peninsular Malaysia) MYR14.10

when will update to v1.5?

Hello

Just downloaded this addon and so far it's turned out to be quite useful -- another great Numinix addition.

The only issue I have is this:

We have a rule in our store that if a client purchases 2 items valued at $200 each, they qualify for free shipping on their order. Now, Free Shipping Rules almost works this, but there is the problem that one cannot specify a single unit price.

So, essentially our clients are ordering 2 products at $400. Putting it this way into the addon, any two items in the cart, so long as the total is $400, will qualify for free shipping.

Some examples:

Scenario 1: Client has 1 item @ $150 and 1 item @ $250. This is a total of 2 items and $400. Therefore, as the addon sees it, free shipping is due. This is not what we want, as each item must be priced at $200 to qualify.

Scenario 2: Client has 1 item @ $350 and 1 item @ $200. This is a total of 2 items and $400, BUT each item is priced at $200 or more.

Scenario 2 is what we're looking to achieve -- if anyone has any ideas as to how we might go about getting this, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks heaps in advance,
Tija

To which folder should you upload the module as it does not say in instructions as leaving it in just public_html does not do anything, can you tell me in which folder the new code should be placed of current zen cart install?

v1.5 Free Delivery above x$

Should I need to have the store accept orders that is say $100 and above, it will be free shipping. Otherwise, order not acceptable. Can it be done? I have turned on FreeOption with x$ set but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have just installed free shipping into 1.5.3, I think it is work but I want to use this just for a certan group in my catalog. I don't see where I can do this, I noticed that another member ask this question but I don't see a reply. My other question is this I have this error showing in my admin [ WARNING: YOU HAVE DUPLICATE SORT ORDERS WHICH WILL RESULT IN CALCULATION ERRORS
PLEASE CORRECT THESE ISSUES NOW! ] is this normal or have I done something wrong.
I hope this module works for my needs.
Thank you
Ron

Keep in mind that if you have 1 Sort Order defined, you need all Sort Orders defined with unique values that do not equal 0 ...

If all Sort Orders are 0, then you will not get this error or if all Sort Orders are defined and are unique values ...

Apart from one post, which, incidentally, was not answered, no one has asked or mewntioned how one installs this Plugin.
It may be obviosu to those who are experienced with Zencart but, I've just used all I know about zen and attempted to install this plugin to no avail...

Could someone, who has this working (and other plugins) give a basic idea of how this is achieved for example...

I have uploaded all the included files with this plugin to the directory structures as supplied, changing the name of the MY_TEMPLATE folder to the name of my template folder of course!
I edited the file mentioned in the readme.txt file and saved it.
I have set up my free shipping rules in the zencart admin section, I want free shipping for anything under a certain weight and for an order over a certain value. So one item which is under a certain weight will be free but several products which add up to a certain value but would be over the free weight should also have free shipping offered.
At the moment I get free shipping for the weight limit but not for the value which is prety much how it worked without this plugin which leads me to the conclusion that I have not managed to install it? Also, where is the interface for setting it up? No mention is made of this or...am I being dim here :)

Thanks for any help you can offer.

James
