Prompt to qualify for Free Shipping - code help please!

[Scott_C]

Hi, on the shopping cart page, Id like to show a message that prompts the customer to spend more if they haven't yet qualified for free shipping.

I know this code is wrong but something like;

<?php //FREE shipping message box here
    if ($free_shipping==0) { // not qualified for free shipping
    echo 'Wait! Before you checkout... A nicely formatted message box about qualifying for free shipping..';
    }
        elseif ($free_shipping==1){ // has qualified for free shipping
    echo '';
    }
?>

Could someone point in the right direction with the syntax?

Thanks!

I installed the Shopping Cart Define Page mod and added my text through the Define Pages Editor in Admin.

Allows you to change / add anything to the shopping cart page, no further coding required once the mod is installed

Example can be seen via the first link in my signature, just add something to the cart ...

Another alternative: Shopping Cart Free-Shipping-Qualifier Sidebox

Hi Frank, thanks, its not really what im looking for. I actually need my code to show conditionally - if the customer doesn't have enough in the cart to qualify for free shipping they get a message. Otherwise; no text neccassary.

i have a programmer who works for me who would normally do this, but he's on holidays.

Cheers,

Scott.

You could adopt the code contained in Shopping Cart Free-Shipping-Qualifier Sidebox and modify it to your needs

Thanks Frank, I'll check it out.

Thanks for pointing me toward the free shipping qualifier add-on.

I altered the code to show/hide my mesage. I also used the same code to show/hide the shipping estimator! I figure you dont need to estimate your shipping costs if its free..

I have submitted an updated version of the Free Shipping Qualifier Sidebox mod. It also displays the prompt on the shopping cart page if so desired.
