I'm using AbleCommerce 7.0.7 build 14600
My company wants to target a specific region with free small-package shipping to Kansas City on orders over $100. I don't want this visible to everyone. Only to people in that target region. The zip codes for that region: 635**, 640** through 653**, 656** through 674**, 680** through 685** (meaning that the first 3 digits of a zip code fit into that string). I've explored a couple of ways to accomplish my goal, but I haven't come up with the right combination of shipping zones, coupon codes, and shipping methods to get it exactly right.
First: postal zones, as per this page http://wiki.ablecommerce.com/index.php/ ... n_Matching
Which string is correct for Kansas City
@^(635[00-99])(-\d{4})?$;^(640[00-99]-653[00-99])(-\d{4})?$;^(656[00-99]-674[00-99])(-\d{4})?$;^(680[00-99]-685[00-99])(-\d{4})?$
or
@^(635)(-/d{6}?$;^(640-653)(-/d{6}?$;^(6565-674)(-/d{6}?$;^(6680-685)(-/d{6}?$;
Second, coupons
I don't think there's a way to offer this for a coupon, but it would kind of be nice, especially if I could exclude certain product categories.
Third, shipping methods
I've tried to create a shipping method for free shipping to a certain region, but it still comes up when I test shipping for a different region.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Anne Bracker

Re: Offering free shipping for orders > $100 to a targeted area
It's possible that the postal code wiki article you are referring to might be applicable to AbleCommerce Gold. For version 7, try referring to this page instead:
http://help.ablecommerce.com/mergedProj ... /zones.htm
Once you have the zones working, you can setup free shipping. However, if you wish to exclude certain products, then you'll need to use a free shipping coupon. On this page, we show how to setup this type of coupon:

Let me know if any of this helps.
