Volume Discount - > Free Shipping

[alkasber]

Hello,

Is there a way in volume discount set something like: "When you buy more than US$1000,00 you have FREE SHIPPING" A FREE SHIPPING checkbox or something...

I know it needs customization, but can someone point us where to start?

Thanks

One quick way could be to first create one free shipping method along with the other non free ones. Then upon the checkout process where multiple methods are shown for the shipment you can hide/show the free shipment method depending upon the basket total by giving the user ability to select free shipping. For this edit the ConLib/OnePageCheckout.ascx.cs file and locate the following line of code in it.

Code: Select all

localQuotes.Add(new LocalShipRateQuote(quote.ShipMethodId, methodName, formattedRate));

and make it look like

Code: Select all

if (methodName == "Free Shipping")
                        {
                            if(Token.Instance.User.Basket.Items.TotalPrice() > 1000)
                                localQuotes.Add(new LocalShipRateQuote(quote.ShipMethodId, methodName, formattedRate));
                        }
                        else
                            localQuotes.Add(new LocalShipRateQuote(quote.ShipMethodId, methodName, formattedRate));

Is there any way to change something so that there is another boolean on certain items for free shipping.
Obviously we would have to write a bunch of rules on checkout for when items w/ free ship are mixed with regular items, but can it be done without changing the core source?

One way to accomplish this without any customization is that first create another warehouse let's say it FreeProductsWarehouse. Now create a new custom shippment method with name Free Shippment and mark it only available for the FreeProductsWarehouse warehouse. Now provide FreeProductsWarehouse as the warehouse for those products which you want to have free shipments. During checkout AbleCommerce will automatically create two shipments one free and other the paid one for respective shippable items.
