Exclude FREE SHIPPING on Two Items

[kstew923]

I am so confused on how to do this.... I have two items (in separate categories) that I need to Exclude from the free shipping module due to their weight however both items cost exceeds $100. (Orders over $100 qualify free shipping)

Item ID_70
Item ID_22

It has been over a year since we set up our store so being well versed in the zen cart modules has left my brain.

Thank You in advance to anyone who may be able to assist me in answering the above.

Thanks

Which method of Free Shipping are you using?

It appears to be the Free Shipping Options freeoptions based on Total >= XX.XX

Also what happens when I have products over $100.00 plus these 2 Products?

[kstew923]

Good question! In theory if the purchase met the $100 and either of these two products were then added to the cart, we would then honor the free shipping. Our shipping special states that these two items do not qualify for the total to earn free shipping.

Does this make sense?

[kstew923]

Yes we are using the Free Shipping Options freeoptions based on Total >= XX.XX

Okay so if the scenario would be:

1 Other Products is $100.00 - YES Free Shipping Option

2 Other Products is $3.95 and these 2 Products are $350 - NO Free Shipping Option

3 Other Products is $100.00 and these 2 Products are $350 making order $450 - YES Free Shipping Option

Is this correct?

[kstew923]

Exactly.

You can customize the Free Shipping Options freeoptions by customizing the code around line 77 ...
/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php

For example, if you wanted products_id 6 and 12 to not be used in the calculation you can use the code in RED:

//bof: reduce price for products_id 6 and 12
      // disabled if nothing validates for total, weight or item
      if ($this->enabled) {
        global $cart;
        $products = $_SESSION['cart']->get_products();
//echo '<pre>'; echo var_dump($products); echo '</pre>' . '<br><br>';
        $reduce_price = 0;
        for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($products); $i<$n; $i++) {
//echo 'Products ID: ' . $products[$i]['id'] . ' Price: ' . $products[$i]['final_price'] * $products[$i]['quantity'] . ' name: ' . $products[$i]['name'] . ' categories_id: ' . $products[$i]['category'] . ' categories_name: ' . zen_get_categories_name($products[$i]['category']) . '<br>';
        if ($products[$i]['id'] == 6 || $products[$i]['id'] == 12) {
          $reduce_price += ($products[$i]['final_price'] * $products[$i]['quantity']);
        }
      }
//echo 'Reduce Price: ' . $reduce_price . '<br>';

        if ($this->ck_freeoptions_total) {
          switch (true) {
          case ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MIN !='' and MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MAX !='')):
// free shipping total should not need adjusting
//            if (($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $reduce_price - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_prices()) >= MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MIN and ($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $reduce_price - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_prices()) <= MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MAX) {
            if (($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $reduce_price) >= MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MIN and ($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $reduce_price) <= MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MAX) {
              $this->ck_freeoptions_total = true;
            } else {
              $this->ck_freeoptions_total = false;
            }
            break;
          case ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MIN !='')):
//            if (($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $reduce_price - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_prices()) >= MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MIN) {
            if (($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $reduce_price) >= MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MIN) {
              $this->ck_freeoptions_total = true;
            } else {
              $this->ck_freeoptions_total = false;
            }
            break;
          case ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MAX !='')):
//            if (($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $reduce_price - $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_prices()) <= MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MAX) {
            if (($_SESSION['cart']->show_total() - $reduce_price) <= MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_TOTAL_MAX) {
              $this->ck_freeoptions_total = true;
            } else {
              $this->ck_freeoptions_total = false;
            }
            break;
          }
        }
//eof: reduce price for products_id 6 and 12
