Free Shipping

Free Shipping

I have done some shipping calculations based on total weights etc. What I wish to do now is indicate within the shopping cart display that when the total item weights within the cart exceed a certain weight, the shipping is free.

I need to indicate the words 'Free Shipping' on the view cart page and not just have it disappear if the calculation rules exceed the maximum weights for charges.

How would I go about this?

Many thanks.

Add a discount rule that is the same amount as the shipping that triggers when the total weight exceeds that value, and call the discount "free shipping"

Some of our shipping rules have a flat rate of "0" for certain cart content criteria so the discount rule, in order to display "Free Shipping", will also be a "0" value which means that, like the Shipping, it's hidden from display on the page. What's the best way around this?

Also, I've replicated the shipping rules criteria as discount rules with titles such as "FREE STANDARD SHIPPING" etc, but these titles aren't displayed on the cart page.

We corrected this for the Shipping Rules, with Jason's help, by changing the shipping display section to be...

<?php
//WA eCart Merchandizing Show Start
//ecart="LEDCart"
if ($LEDCart->GetShipping() > 0) {
?>
<tr>
<td class="eC_SummaryLabel">Packaging &amp; Delivery</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<?php
if (!$LEDCart->Rules_EOF("Shipping")) {
while (!$LEDCart->Rules_EOF("Shipping")) {
if ($LEDCart->RuleLooperValue("Shipping") > 0) {
?>
<tr valign="top">
<td class="eC_IndividualCharge">&nbsp;<?php echo $LEDCart->RuleLooperName("Shipping"); ?><br>
<span class="sm">&nbsp; You can change your delivery preferences at checkout.</span></td>
<td id="LEDCart_JSON_Display_Shipping_<?php echo($LEDCart->ShippingDisplayIndex); ?>"><?php echo WA_eCart_DisplayMoney($LEDCart, $LEDCart->RuleLooperValue("Shipping")); ?></td>
</tr>
<?php
}
$LEDCart->Rules_MoveNext("Shipping");
}
$LEDCart->Rules_MoveFirst("Shipping");
}
?>
<?php
//WA eCart Merchandizing Show End
//ecart="LEDCart"
}
?>

...is there a similar fix that will allow display of the discount rule title?

Thank you
NJ

you can show a specific 0 dollar rule title, but you could show a free shipping message if the shipping total is = to 0:

<?php if ($LEDCart->GetShipping() == 0) { ?>
Free Shipping
<?php } ?>
