Free Shipping Rules addon [Support Thread]

numinix:

If the customer wants overnight shipping, your overnight shipping would still display at a cost. This script provides an EXTRA option for the customer whom is eligible.

I currently offer free (ground) shipping on all orders over $199.
Often, my customer rather pay to upgrade their shipping to either 3 day select or 2nd day air.

My cart doesn't currently offer any "upgraded" shipping methods if the customers order is over the $199.

Is there an easy fix to this problem? I'd really like the 3 Day Select and 2nd Day Air to still be a option which the customer can pay for if they choose.

Thanks for any help.

numinix:

What this script does is exactly the same as FREE OPTIONS but instead of requiring only one rule to return true, all set rules must return true in order to receive free shipping.

For example, you would set order-total minimum to $200 and weight-total maximum to 5lbs. Then only orders that are over $200 and under 5lbs would be eligible for free shipping. You can make the free shipping available only to certain zones and the method of shipping would be your choice.

If the customer wants overnight shipping, your overnight shipping would still display at a cost. This script provides an EXTRA option for the customer whom is eligible.

i try to upload the files but i can't see any option! perhaps it operates only together FREE OPTIONS?

Why can't you simply add those shipping modules and then set a check to only enable if the order is over $199? Any programmer could do this for you in an hour...

Hi 1st want to say this module is very handy and works very well (good job)

i was just thinking can you help add an extra option to it to offer free shipping to a discount group?

The reason is i have a Forum and i offer free shipping to forum members but using a discount coupon code gives me not control over who uses it and people may tell their friends what it is.

So my thinking is to use discount group (set to 0 so they don't get money off the order) and have an option in this module that will display free shipping if they are in the forum discount group.

I have seen lots of request for a way of offing free shipping to a group so i think this added option will also help lots of others out there.

My coding skills are very basic so if anyone can help id be grateful.

HELP HELP HELP!
I have a big problem.
I want to change the minimum order value for free shipping, but even if I change it in admin modules, it does not change in both "Shopping Cart Free-Shipping-Qualifier Sidebox" and in the text shown in the scheckhot shipping. Even more strange is that if the order value is over waht I set, it the order gets the free shipping correctly.
Where should I look for to set this?
Please help
thanks

Let me try to say this better.
I had a min order value set at 100. Then I set it at 50. What happens is that the free shipping is given correctly when the order is over 50, but the text and the calculation in Shopping Cart Free shipping qualifier, remains as if I did not change the value from 100 to 50.
It looks like that part of the software looks at the db, that I check, finding that the value of 50 was set correctly, while another part looks at te old value memorized somewere else.
Please tell me where I should look to find this wrongly memorized value.
thanks

i'm really curious if an option can be added where i can pick which group can get free shipping, i personally just want free shipping rules to apply to retail sales.

I recently upgraded php to 5.2 from the hosting company. After the upgrade this free shipping module comes with an error message in admin:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/content/<domain>/html/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php on line 50

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in /home/content/</domain>/html/includes/modules/shipping/freeoptions.php on line 67

Anyone has a solution?

I apply free ship to orders above MYR100 and below 1.6kg. However, why there are two options come out: free rules and zones table rate?

Shipping quotes are based on the address information you selected:
Kelantan Malaysia
Available Shipping Methods Rates
Free Shipping Rules (Free Rules) MYR0.00
Zone Rates (No shipping available to the selected country)
Zones Table Rate (1 x 1,545.00grams) (Within Peninsular Malaysia) MYR14.10

when will update to v1.5?

Hello

Just downloaded this addon and so far it's turned out to be quite useful -- another great Numinix addition.

The only issue I have is this:

We have a rule in our store that if a client purchases 2 items valued at $200 each, they qualify for free shipping on their order. Now, Free Shipping Rules almost works this, but there is the problem that one cannot specify a single unit price.

So, essentially our clients are ordering 2 products at $400. Putting it this way into the addon, any two items in the cart, so long as the total is $400, will qualify for free shipping.

Some examples:

Scenario 1: Client has 1 item @ $150 and 1 item @ $250. This is a total of 2 items and $400. Therefore, as the addon sees it, free shipping is due. This is not what we want, as each item must be priced at $200 to qualify.

Scenario 2: Client has 1 item @ $350 and 1 item @ $200. This is a total of 2 items and $400, BUT each item is priced at $200 or more.

Scenario 2 is what we're looking to achieve -- if anyone has any ideas as to how we might go about getting this, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks heaps in advance,
Tija

To which folder should you upload the module as it does not say in instructions as leaving it in just public_html does not do anything, can you tell me in which folder the new code should be placed of current zen cart install?

v1.5 Free Delivery above x$

Should I need to have the store accept orders that is say $100 and above, it will be free shipping. Otherwise, order not acceptable. Can it be done? I have turned on FreeOption with x$ set but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have just installed free shipping into 1.5.3, I think it is work but I want to use this just for a certan group in my catalog. I don't see where I can do this, I noticed that another member ask this question but I don't see a reply. My other question is this I have this error showing in my admin [ WARNING: YOU HAVE DUPLICATE SORT ORDERS WHICH WILL RESULT IN CALCULATION ERRORS
PLEASE CORRECT THESE ISSUES NOW! ] is this normal or have I done something wrong.
I hope this module works for my needs.
Thank you
Ron

Keep in mind that if you have 1 Sort Order defined, you need all Sort Orders defined with unique values that do not equal 0 ...

If all Sort Orders are 0, then you will not get this error or if all Sort Orders are defined and are unique values ...

Apart from one post, which, incidentally, was not answered, no one has asked or mewntioned how one installs this Plugin.
It may be obviosu to those who are experienced with Zencart but, I've just used all I know about zen and attempted to install this plugin to no avail...

Could someone, who has this working (and other plugins) give a basic idea of how this is achieved for example...

I have uploaded all the included files with this plugin to the directory structures as supplied, changing the name of the MY_TEMPLATE folder to the name of my template folder of course!
I edited the file mentioned in the readme.txt file and saved it.
I have set up my free shipping rules in the zencart admin section, I want free shipping for anything under a certain weight and for an order over a certain value. So one item which is under a certain weight will be free but several products which add up to a certain value but would be over the free weight should also have free shipping offered.
At the moment I get free shipping for the weight limit but not for the value which is prety much how it worked without this plugin which leads me to the conclusion that I have not managed to install it? Also, where is the interface for setting it up? No mention is made of this or...am I being dim here :)

Thanks for any help you can offer.
