Order confirmation page text for Free shipping is not instructive

I have Free Shipping set up (freeshipper in admin). It's the only option given. There is nothing to choose.

On the page Step 3 of 3 - Order Confirmation, one the left side of the middle column it displays the "Billing/Payment Information" with a chance to Edit and says:

Payment Method
PayPal

On the right side it says "Delivery/Shipping Information" with a chance to edit and says:

Shipping Method:
Shipping

My question is, why doesn't it say...

Shipping Method:
Free Shipping

What do you see in the totals section of that page on the shipping?

Re: Order confirmation page text for Free shipping is not instructive

No, they are not because not all are virtual products. But I think you are close. Perhaps I have to specify that every product is free shipping rather than just switch in free shipping. But that would take ages to do. Don't see why it can't be a single toggle switch.

Re: Order confirmation page text for Free shipping is not instructive

Can you define what these two products are marked as and if either have downloads?

Re: Order confirmation page text for Free shipping is not instructive

Yes, the Essay correction is not a download - it is a service. It is denoted as virtual (skip shipping address) and Free shipping. The second is physical and requires shipping address but is normal shipping rules.

But Free shipping is the only option I want to give. So I suppose I have to go through every product and stipulate Always Free shipping?

Re: Order confirmation page text for Free shipping is not instructive

If all Orders are always suppose to be Free Shipping, the fastest way is just install the Free Shipping Options freeoptions shipping module and set the Total >= 0.00 ...

For those marked as Always Free Shipping or Virtual or Downloads you should have the FREE SHIPPING! freeshipper installed ...

NOTE: when a product is Virtual, you do not need to mark it as Always Free Shipping as Virtual means free shipping ...

If you want all products marked as Always Free Shipping, you could run the SQL in the Tools ... Install SQL Patches ... using:

UPDATE products SET product_is_always_free_shipping = 0;

That is very helpful, thanks, I am going to clip that piece of information for ever.
