Free Shipping Rules addon [Support Thread]

Free Shipping Rules v1.0

Available for download and testing at:

http://www.numinix.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=42&chapter=0

Description:

This shipping module (based on Free Options written by DrByte and Ajeh) allows merchants to offer free shipping when more than one requirement is set. These requirements include order total, total weight, and total items. For example, if the minimum order total is set to $1000 and the maximum weight is set to 5lbs, free shipping would only be given for orders that meet BOTH of these requirements. Free Options would be given if ANY of these requirements are met.

Re: Free Shipping Rules addon [Support Thread]

Does this allow you to designate a particular item as free shipping if within a certain zone and if a certain shipping method is chosen?

Example:

Item 1234
Free Shipping IF shipped to Zone A, B, or C and IF using shipping method X, Y, or Z

Otherwise.....regular shipping rates apply.

The idea is you might want to offer an item as Free Shipping but only if shipped to certain zones using certain methods.

What if someone wants Item 1234 overnighted to a Euro zone? If the shipping module accounts for geo-zones and shipping methods, this would be do-able.

Thanks :smile:

Re: Free Shipping Rules addon [Support Thread]

What this script does is exactly the same as FREE OPTIONS but instead of requiring only one rule to return true, all set rules must return true in order to receive free shipping.

For example, you would set order-total minimum to $200 and weight-total maximum to 5lbs. Then only orders that are over $200 and under 5lbs would be eligible for free shipping. You can make the free shipping available only to certain zones and the method of shipping would be your choice.

If the customer wants overnight shipping, your overnight shipping would still display at a cost. This script provides an EXTRA option for the customer whom is eligible.

Re: Free Shipping Rules addon [Support Thread]

i have kind of a weird request...haven't seen an answer to this in the forum, but i suspect it may be kind of difficult to do....i get the free shipping icon to come up when its an always free shipping item

but i want to get the free shipping icon to show up with my free shipping rules as well...for example my rule is any order that is over $100 and less than 10 lbs is free shipping...well how do i get each item in my catalog that meets the requirement of over $100, but less than 10 lbs to have the free shipping icon show up in my category and product page like the always free shipping does?

i hope this is possible to do...id appreciate any help with this..

Of course anything is possible, but not without some modifications.

I'm not looking at the code right now, but it would need to have a function that could be called to return true or false if the product is eligible for free shipping, then add that to the conditional statement for displaying the free shipping image.

The taxes were already updated, but the shipping hasn't yet been supported. It is on the to do list but isn't a priority at this time. Expect something similar to the eBid module with Per Category Shipping being supported first as well as other default Zen Cart shipping modules. Unfortunately modules that need to connect to an external server like FedEx will take some time to implement, let alone the amount of time they will cause the script to take and most likely cause any medium to large store to time out during the feed creation...

Re: Free Shipping Rules addon [Support Thread]

Can this be applied to just 1 product ? I want to allow free shipping on a certain product that meets certain requirements, but I don't want it to apply to all of my products. Thanks.

Re: Free Shipping Rules addon [Support Thread]

It is currently an all or nothing shipping module. You could modify the script to only appear if all of the products are from a specific category or are a specific product.

PM me if you need someone to do this for you. Or visit my website for more information on our services.

Re: Free Shipping Rules addon [Support Thread]

Does any one know how to get this module to work with the "Free Shipping Qualifier SideBox Module"?

You can use the logic that is applied to tpl_product_info_display.php:
[PHP]
<?php if (MODULE_SHIPPING_FREERULES_STATUS == 'True') {
include(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'shipping/freerules.php');
$freerules = new freerules();
if ($freerules->test((int)$_GET['products_id'])) {
$freerules_shipping = true;
} else {
$freerules_shipping = false;
}
}
?>[/PHP]

I don't really get what you mean...could you please elaborate on the specific steps?

Re: Free Shipping Rules addon [Support Thread]

Hi...
I was just reading all the posts in this thread but I wanted to know because I live in Canada with zones for provinces, I would like to offer free shipping on products totaling over $1000 and under 300lbs but the free shipping is only offered in a certain city??? Is this even possible... I know I should have investigated more in the forums but I like your addon so I had to ask you the question...

Thanks

Richard

Re: Free Shipping Rules addon [Support Thread]

Is it possible to offer free shipping by category?


For example if someone only orders items from Cat (1) and they meet a specific rule then free shipping applies.

But if they also order from Cat (b) no free shipping applies.

Thanks
