Free Shipping Options not working correctly

[Nuttshell]

Thanks Linda. I had done nearly everything you suggested with the exception of making sure all the fields in the Free Shipping Options were blank.

Thanks again. You have been a life-saver.

Oops, I forgot one more thing. Do I have to add code to exclude certain categories?

Only if you do not want to see the Free Shipping Options freeoptions as a shipping choice when 1 or more Products are from your certain categories ...

[Nuttshell]

Yes. There are a couple of products/categories that I have drop shipped from my vendors or are heavy pieces which would kill us if we offered free shipping, i.e. bulk products, flooring, etc. Can you point me in the proper direction for excluding those categories?

You could add something like:

if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
        global $cart;
        $chk_categories = 0;
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','1');
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','35');
        $chk_categories += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','25');
        if ($chk_categories > 0) {
          $this->enabled =  false;
        }
}

where the Products you are testing for use for their master_categories_id 1, 25 or 35 ...

Thanks.

Linda you had helped me set up free shipping for orders over 100 and it works and orders under 100 a 11.95 handling charge. I did notice one thing. For international orders a handling fee of 11.95 is charged no matter what. I want it to be the same across the baord.

Are you just using the Flat Rate flat shipping module and the setting in the Modules ... Order Totals ... Shipping ot_shipping to control when it is a Flat Rate of $11.95 or Free Shipping for orders over $100.00?

If so, check the settings in the Shipping ot_shipping and make sure it is set to Both and not to National ...

That should make the shipping universal for either $11.95 on orders < $100.00 and Free Shipping for orders over $100.00 to everyone ...
