Zero shipping on cart page with a radio button

Hi folks,

Im wanting to zero the shipping cost if a customer clicks on a radio button on the cart page.
Basically this is to allow them to collect the item in store and avoid paying a delivery charge.

is there an easy way to go about this.
If possible id also like the radio button to refresh the page once clicked, basically doing the same job as the update button as well

Cheers

One way you could do this is to use the radio button to set the value of a session variable using the eCart > general > set session value server behavior. Once you have the value stored in a session variable you can then go and update your shipping rule to take into account this variable. For example if you choose the option for pickup and this sets the session variable to a value of "pickup" you can then modify your shipping charge rule to add another condition to the trigger, you will say 'based on session variable value' and choose this new session variable specify that if this variable does not have a value of 'pickup'. This will make it so the shipping is not charged if this variable exists with this value.

To make the form submit with the selection of the radio option you could add in some js to the onchange event like this:

onchange="document.yourform.submit();"

Hi Eric,
Thanks for this.
I got this far, however as soon as I add the shipping rule for the server behaviour and add something to the cart, it simply does not show any delivery charge at all when the cart page loads, Remove this shipping condition (based on session variable value) and the cart returns the original shipping display.
Im obviously missing something here.

If the session variable is set it should cause the shipping rule to not be triggered. If the shipping is not triggered you will not see this section in the cart display. If adding the condition makes it so the shipping does not show regardless then you may need to add another set session value server behavior to initialize this session variable to an alternate value. This way the session variable will exist before the rule is triggered but unless the user makes the pickup selection the value should be set in a way that allows the shipping to be charged.

If you have any further problems with this post back with a copy of your WA_eCart folder and the page you are setting the variables on in a zip archive so we can take a look.
