Allow Free Shipping AND Allow Other Options

[GetSirius]

Modules > Order Total > Shipping > Allow Free Shipping

Wondering if there is a way to allow for free shipping on orders over some total, but still allow the other shipping options to display. Needed in case a customer would like to pay for a faster shipping option.

Another option would be a way to modify "Flat Rate" to be allowed on orders over some total cost.

Thank you!

Copy flat shipping, rename yhe references to flat (but don't use underscore in the new name) and add an if statement before return, that checks if the order total is larger than "free shipping".
I think that's the easiest route.

Thank you. I got as far as copying the flat shipping module and was able to install it and make it work as a normal flat shipping module. I was then stumped at how to do the if statement. I was unable to figure out how or where to put the if statement.

I'm not a good coder. It seems to me that this new module (like other shipping modules) is not used if shipping is over the set free shipping amount, and that would make the system not even look at my new module.

I would like to pursue this but I will soon be away from my computers for a few days, so any more replies from me may be a while...

Maybe don't use Allow Free Shipping and instead use Table Rate configured to 'price' and be 0.00 over desired total.

It's just a thought, it might work in some use case scenarios and not others.

That's correct and expected. The order total module for free shipping, "overrides" all shipping modules, so you need to set that to false.
What you must do to have several shipping options shown, if which one is free, is to set up your shipping module(s) that way. You have a new module, that's a good first step. Now look at the code. You have two functions. You can add a if-statement in either, but only one is correct - it should be obvious which one. What you want, is to only make the module show, if the order total is higher than the configuration for free shipping. That means you must control when the module returns something to checkout_shipping. You can learn more about the "return" statement by googling, if you want.

You also need to know the order total - some help for that can be found here: https://github.com/CE-PhoenixCart/Phoen ... e.php#L107

I wish you a good trip - and feel free to ask further when you return.

Edit
Or do as Heatherbell suggest...

For a few beers I would speak to @burt. Not too sure that he would like me posting his code here or indeed me sharing it with you.

He created for me a module based on flat rate shipping that included a way of setting a maximum and minimum weight and order value. This allows us to switch different shipping methods on or off depending on order weight or total value. This was done as we use Royal mail as a shipping partner and they have funny weight brackets.

You could use the module to only cut in and show over a certain order value or order total, and have a zero shipping cost. You could then copy the module to use as your standard shipping costs but have it not show after a set total weight or order value when the other free module cuts in.

We use multiple copies of this for all of the shipping modules on our site so we can carefully choose which modules show and when they show.

May be worth an ask.

Thank you. I have this working now. Editing this post to add my code in case someone else is interested. Be aware I am an amateur with php, use this code at your own risk! Just two files, then go to modules/shipping to add module, then edit.
