Exclude Products from Free Shipping

[frankenstein897]

I have a "Vary by Cost" shipping method that I use for free shipping. Is there a way to exclude certain products from that shipping method? Maybe I need to put them in a special warehouse or something? Anyone do something similar?

Without custom coding, you would need to put them into a different warehouse. But then the checkout page will show two different shipments if there a both free shipping and normal products in the order.

Ahhhh... what if the product is marked as ship separately? I just found that setting on the products last night.

Doesn't really change things. You'll still get separate shipments, just for a different reason now.

Ok, thank you!

I have decided to just put the products that I don't want Free Shipping in a different warehouse. It was easiest and figured I could try to communicate to our customers. I do have the 2 shipping options in the shipping method part of the checkout when there are different products in different warehouses. Is there a way to change the text next to the shipping options where it says Shipment 1 and Shipment 2? Here is what I am talking about:



Can that text be changed somewhere?

Thanks,

Sure, very easy to do.

Just edit the /ConLib/OnePageCheckout.ascx file and look for the following code:

Code: Select all

                                    <asp:Repeater ID="ShipmentList" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="ShipmentList_ItemDataBound"
                                        EnableViewState="false">
                                        <ItemTemplate>
                                            <asp:PlaceHolder ID="ShipmentCounter" runat="server" Visible='<%# (ShipmentCount > 1) %>'
                                                EnableViewState="false"><b>Shipment
                                                    <%# (Container.ItemIndex + 1) %>:&nbsp; </b></asp:PlaceHolder>

You'll see the word 'Shipment' immediately following the bold tag <b>. That's where the word 'Shipment' is coming from.

Cool, thanks!
