How to allow check out on a zero payment amount?

Hi everyone,

Here is a quick question and after searching the support forums I cant find anything about it.

We have a subscirption moduel on the site and we are allowing currnet customers to purchase a subscription for a year, however we are adding an attribute which discounts the value down to zero.

When the customer goes to check out it says "Unable to ship to zone". When the exact same customer checks out with a balance due it allows it like normal operation.

We are running version 1.3.8

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance

If you want to allow customers to complete checkout on zero-balance orders, you need to enable the "freecharger" module, since that's its sole purpose.

Thanks for the response :cool:

Does the freecharger than charge a price if the subtotal has a value other than zero ?

Thanks

freecharger is ignored if the final total is not zero
