Free Shipping Question

[Ajeh]

And all the dots are green, correct?

As to Always Free Shipping, are you saying the Products ARE or ARE NOT marked as Always Free Shipping?

[DarkAngel]

yes all dots are green for those but I just checked one of her products description in admin and yes the always free shipping is ticked to on

[Ajeh]

While Products marked as Always Free Shipping will show the icon ... they also will only use the FREE SHIPPING! freeshipper module and all other shipping modules will turn off ...

What is the goal on shipping? Are you trying to give the shipping methods of Free Shipping and use another shipping module for other methods of shipping as alternatives for the customer to choose from on all Products?

If so, just have the shipping modules:
UPS
Free Shipping Options freeoptions

and set weights to the Products so you can get proper shipping quotes from UPS ...

To turn off the Always Free Shipping on all Products, you can run in the Tools ... Install SQL Patches ... the code:

UPDATE products SET product_is_always_free_shipping = 0;

Now if you want the Free Shipping icon to show on the product_info page, you can customize the template with your templates and overrides for:
/includes/templates/your_templates_dire/tpl_product_info_display.php

and edit the code:

<!--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  -->

and change it to read:

<!--bof free ship icon  -->
<?php if(true || 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  -->

and that will force the Free Shipping icon to always show regardless of the setting ...

Yes she wants to offer them the option of getting their order via UPS with 2nd day shipping.

she wants to set up a table of sorts with this sort of:

x1 item = xx amount of shipping
2 and so forht in the table


I already have the free shipping to be shown regardless...LOL

She does not want the shipping to be per weight but per item...as an incentive for the customer or several getting together where they live and all order on one order to save shipping coss and split the cost of the entire order.I shall try the instructions below and report back later.

Thanks.

When you say a Table of rates for the number of Items, can you expand on that?

Depending on the bottom line of what shipping rates you really want, this could be:
Per Item item
Table table
Zone Rate zones

more details the better ...

[DarkAngel]

yay it shows now so all she has to do is figure out how to set the initial amount for each item cause right now it claims 2nd day is 32$...lol

suggestions on where she or me is to write down the amount per item...it I guess is not like the other where it lists qty:fee right.

something along hese lines:

she says:

I don’t have the fee, but I do have the breakdown.

1 = x
2 = x
3-4 = x
5-9 = x
10-14 = x
15-24 =x

For 25 items they can email me, or I can say that is the cutoff and they have to start back at one for the 25^th item.

this is how the modules are set up:

If you want to set the shipping per item, you can do that with the:
Per Unit perweightunit

In the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... set the Maximum Weight to: 5000 and the Tare Rates both to 0:0 ...

Now, you can set the Product Weight to be the amount to charge for each Product ... then set the Per Unit rate to 1.00 and the shipping charges with be the:
products_weight * quantity

for each Product ...

[DarkAngel]

ok I set it to the 5000 tare 0:0 now do I enter the amount to charge in
Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight 10:0

or do you mean to set those in the shipping modules

I think I found where you mean: per unit weight in shipping modules--I need to install this, enter the info you mentioned

so I will have these modules turned on?
