    Default ZC 1.5: Free shipping for orders over 'variable' for different zones?

    Hi

    I want to offer free shipping for different zones which depends on specified order-totals for each zone.
    I need at least 3 zones. (now only national or international is possible )

    Is there a module that can handle this?

    Could you make a Zone Definition for the Free Shipping and use the shipping module Free Options freeoptions which would give the customer the choice for Free Shipping and the other regular shipping methods?

    I think so, but I don't think this is a elegant solution

    why showing other shipping methods when shipping is already free? >> the less the better

    Amazon does that ... it offers the Free Shipping and in addition gives the customer the choice to pay more for other shipping methods ...

    I often pick a different shipping method that is not free over the ones that are free ...

    If you want to have only Free Shipping on specific order totals based on different Zones you can always do all of the custom coding for this ...

    Is it the same amount for the Order Total and just a few places can have Free Shipping? Or, is it different amounts for the Order Total depending on the Zone?

    Different amounts for the Order Total depending on the Zone.
    As I said earlier, I need at least 3 different zones.

    by the way, we offer our customers only 1 shipment method. again >>> the lesser the better

    To use the Free Shipping Options freeoptions for 3 Zones with different Order Totals you would need to make 3 Zone Definitions and then clone the Free Shipping Options freeoptions and add 1 Zone to each shipping method and set the Total >= XX.XX and it will show this shipping module with your regular shipping method when the Order Total is the correct amount for that Zone Definition ...

    Then the customer can pick either the Free Shipping Option or your regular shipping method ...

    To manage this where the Free Shipping is the only shipping method then you would need to do a lot more customization for figure out the customer's Zone and the Order Total and then have the code decide what shipping method to use ...

    I would do the coning of the Free Shipping Options freeoptions for the 3 Zones and give them a choice ... it is a lot less work doing that ...

    You would be cloning the files:
    /includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php
    /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php

    to something like:
    /includes/modules/shipping/freeoptionszone2.php
    /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/freeoptionszone2.php

    /includes/modules/shipping/freeoptionszone3.php
    /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/freeoptionszone3.php

    where for the first set of code:
    /includes/modules/shipping/freeoptionszone2.php
    /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/freeoptionszone2.php

    change all the text:
    freeoptions

    to be:
    freeoptions2

    and change all the text:
    FREEOPTIONS

    to be:
    FREEOPTIONS2

    then do the same to Zone 3 using:
    /includes/modules/shipping/freeoptionszone3.php
    /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/freeoptionszone3.php

    change all the text:
    freeoptions

    to be:
    freeoptions3

    and change all the text:
    FREEOPTIONS

    to be:
    FREEOPTIONS3

    and just add your Zone Definitions to each one and configure the Total >= XX.XX for each ...
