How to Offer Free SHipping over a Certain $$ AND Under Certain Weight

If this is already covered, I apologize, but I didn't see a thread hitting on this exact configuration.

Right now, we offer free shipping based on Zone Rates. That is, we have the freeshipper module activated along with the Zones Module, which is configured to offer free shipping on items less than 5 pounds (5:0.00) only to USA and Canadian customers.

However, we are looking to keep the same weight requirement, but also only allow free shipping if the ORDER TOTAL is over $10.00. Is there a way to do that?

Now, I see that there is a freeoptions module, but I couldn't get that to work. Remember, we still want to offer free shipping for packages under 5 pounds, but ONLY to USA and Canadian customers, so there has to be some sort of zone restrictions involved.

I tried messing with the order total shipping module (ot_shipping) but couldn't figure out how it ties in with the freeshipping or freeoption modules.

So how would you configure free shipping over a certain dollar amount, AND also if the weight is under a certain poundage?

Examples:

  • a $5.00 order that's 1 pound will not get free shipping (not enough $$).

  • a $15.00 order that's 1 pound WILL get it.

  • a $20.00 order that's 4 pounds from Germany will not get it (out of zone).

  • a $20.00 order that's 4 pounds from Canada will get it.

  • Jeff

The current Free Shipping Options freeoptions is setup for OR connections ...

You are wanting AND connections ...

You can customize the module to do this then build a zone for the countries allowed to have this:

// final check for display of Free Options
      if ($this->ck_freeoptions_total or $this->ck_freeoptions_weight or $this->ck_freeoptions_items) {
        $this->enabled = true;
      } else {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
