Set Up Free Shipping Feature

 

This feature allows the store admin to sell a product that does not require payment for shipping. This is commonly used as a promotion of the store to encourage buyers to purchase more items for them to avail of the free shipping in their orders.

To enable this feature in the store, do the following:

Steps

  1. In the eCommerce module, go to the AppConfig Parameters window and set the following parameters to these values:



    FreeShippingThreshold = n

    ShippingMethodCodeIfFreeShippingIsOn= n

    Where n is equal to your preferred value.

    By setting the AppConfig parameter FreeShippingThreshold to a certain value (e.g. 50.00), this enables the free shipping feature whenever orders equal or greater than the amount indicated are made. To disable this feature set this value to 0.00.

    Specify the shipping method(s) that will have free shipping in the AppConfig ShippingMethodCodeIfFreeShippingIsOn. You can indicate several shipping methods here by separating the names with a comma (e.g. RealTime, Ground, Next Day.)

    Note: ShippingMethodCodeIfFreeShippingIsOn AppConfig must be filled up with the corresponding shipping method that will have free shipping. If left blank then free shipping will not work.

  2. In the store site, you will see a note saying orders that are over $50.00 would qualify for free shipping. The note would indicate whatever amount you specified in the FreeShippingThreshold AppConfig.
