How to provide Free Shipping without a new warhouse?

Post by mlarsen » Wed Sep 10, 2014 5:32 am

I am using AbleCommerce with an accounting system called VisionCore. It has an integration to sync inventory items, orders etc back and forth from VisionCore to AbleCommerce BUT. VisionCore supports products to be available in Multiple warehouses at the same time, where Able supports a product in only one warehouse at a time. So the integration syncs all products to only one warehouse. If I change a product in Able to be in a different warehouse then after a sync it is right back where it started.

So why is this important? FREE SHIPPING! Ables mechanism for doing free shipping is to create a separate warehouse and create a shipping method that is free. I cannot do that, but I need free shipping on many of my items. Is there any other way to create free shipping for specific products that does not require a warehouse change?

Do I need to create a customer shipping provider to handle this?
