Free shipping for certain customers

[Andy6867]

I want to be able to set up free shipping for certain customers who have an account. Is it possible?

What makes these Customers qualify for Free Shipping with you?

[Andy6867]

I have set them up as a reseller group in Group Pricing

[Ajeh]

Do they get Free Shipping on ALL Products?

Can the Free Shipping be a Shipping Option offered to these customers, in addition to your regular shipping methods?

[Andy6867]

Yes they get free shipping on all products

As long as these customers are the only ones that see the free shipping option yes

[Ajeh]

Then you could customize the Free Shipping Options freeoptions to work for only customers that are in this particular group_id ...

I have no idea how to do that.. sorry. Are there any tutorials on how to do that?

[Ajeh]

You could customize the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php

with the code in RED:

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
          $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
      }

// bof: offer only to customers in resellers group
  if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG) {
    if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] > 0) {
      global $db;
      $group_id_resellers = 1;
      $sql = "SELECT customers_group_pricing from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " WHERE customers_id = '" . $_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'";
      $chk_group_id = $db->Execute($sql);
      if ($chk_group_id->fields['customers_group_pricing'] != $group_id_resellers) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
    } else {
      $this->enabled = false;
    }
  }
// eof: offer only to customers in resellers group

      if ( ($this->enabled == true) && ((int)MODULE_SHIPPING_FREEOPTIONS_ZONE > 0) ) {
