This is a poweful upselling tool.
When the customer visits his/her shopping cart page, this extension adds the message "Only $x (+VAT) more to Free Shipping!" above their products, thus luring them to buy more in order to benefit from free shipping. Because this is a vQmod, no core files are touched, and the changes should carry over to the next version.
Please read documentation!
A good companion module could be uksb's Spend x for free shipping http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=46606 which adds a similar message to the shipping area in checkout process.
Requirements
- This is a vQmod for Opencart. Hence you need Opencart (tested on 1.5.3.1) and vQmod (tested on 2.1.7) preinstalled. Opencart is available at http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... d/download and vQmod is available at http://code.google.com/p/vqmod/downloads/list
- This vQmod is made for the Default theme. Hence you should have the default theme as the active theme for this to work. While you can very easily modify this for other themes, the out-of-the-box support is only for default theme. If you don't know how, and need me to do paid customization, please PM me on forums http://forum.opencart.com/memberlist.ph ... ile&u=5746
- For this to work, you must have the Free Shipping module installed and enabled.
Upload the contents of the uploads folder to your shop's root folder.
Styling
This extension uses classes instead of inline styling. So you can just add styling in your stylesheet.css to change the way the message looks.
e.g. on one website we put styling as
Code: Select all
.money2free {
width: 95%;
display: block;
border: solid 2px #aaaaaa;
background-color: #fadadd;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.money2freemain {
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #555555;
}
.amount4free {
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #df1d2a;
}
If you have a non English language installed, you need to edit the file
Code: Select all
catalog/language/yourlanguage/checkout/cart.php
Code: Select all
// Column
Code: Select all
$_['text_moneytofree'] = '<span class="money2free"><span class="money2freemain">Only <span class="amount4free">%s</span> (+VAT) more to Free Shipping!</span><br /></span>';
