Download products still show shipping option in checkout

Hello,

All my products are downloads and it says in the tutorial for adding downloads to set Product Is Virtual and Always Free Shipping to NO because the cart knows it's a download but in the checkout I am still given the shipping options. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Re: Download products still show shipping option in checkout

You should have Downloads set as:

[QUOTE]
Product is Virtual: No, Shipping Address Required
[/QUOTE

Always Free Shipping:No, Normal Shipping Rules

The checkout knows that Downloads have no shipping based on the Download filename on the Attribute ...

On your other Attributes for the Product do you have any weight or anything?

Install the FREE SHIPPING! freeshipper shipping module and in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... set this to 1:

Order Free Shipping 0 Weight Status
If there is no weight to the order, does the order have Free Shipping?
0= no
1= yes

Do you now get the FREE SHIPPING! showing?

Re: Download products still show shipping option in checkout

You only need to do this as you have both Download attributes and regular attributes mixed on your download Products so the checkout_shipping page is showing ...

Re: Download products still show shipping option in checkout

If I set the Products to Virtual or Always Free Shipping will it skip the shipping page completely? Or will doing that mess up the download somehow?

Re: Download products still show shipping option in checkout

Setting Downloads as Virtual or Always Free Shipping can mess up shipping so don't do that ...
