Free Shipping if Another Item is purchased?

[lolwaut]

Hello all,

I have been tinkering with ZenCart over the past couple of days. I am seriously considering switching over from a competing shopping cart.

Basically I run a webshop in which I sell very LARGE items and very SMALL items.

If a customer orders one small item, I need to charge them for the shipping. However, if they order one large item and one small item, I do not need to charge them for the shipping of the small item, since I can put it in the same shipping box as the large item.

My small items are very light and will not significantly influence the weight of a large package.

Does ZenCart make it possible to easily manage this type of scenario? What would be the best way to do it and what shipping modules should I be considering?

Thank you.

Zen cart supports these types of issues quite well.

The standard built in shipping modules will do what you are requesting, and add on scripts are available for various companies.

Maybe try installing zen cart on a private server so you can see what is involved and available - without disrupting your current site. I use Wamp to test a lot of stuff, even though it is horribly slow in the best of circumstances.

Winmerge is also a zen cart essential.
