What I want to do is pretty simple in theory, but I have had no luck so far achieving this. Any help is greatly appreciated...
Rather than use the 'requires shipping' feature associated with each product, I really need opencart to display the shipping/delivery modules from the Shopping Cart and Checkout if and only if the total cart weight is greater than zero. Can somebody please help me?
So far, all attempts at using weight-based shipping modules has fallen short because even though the shipping charge might evaluate to $0.00 for a cart weight of 0.00, the idea here is to be able to completely skip over the shipping requirements during checkout if the cart weight is truly zero. Make sense? Thanks in advance...
To put it one other way, here is an example of the problem I'm facing...
THE GIVENS:
- I have a product with 'Requires Shipping' set to no, a base weight of 0.00, and a set of options associated with it.
- A couple of the product options have individual weight values > 0.00 while a couple others have weight individual weight values that = 0.00 (these are digital download options).
THE PROBLEMS:
- If a customer chooses one of the options that has weight > 0, they are skipped over the shipping options during checkout.
- And if I change the 'Requires Shipping' option to yes for that product, then even if a customer chooses one of the digital options (weight = 0.00), they still get shown all the shipping steps during checkout.
I need the shipping module to trigger automatically, based solely on the total weight of the cart, nothing else.
Can this be done without pulling all my hair out? Again, thanks...

Have you thought about changing the "Free Shipping" to read "No Shipping", and set it available if cart weight is 0?

Thank you so much for this suggestion, it definitely gets the job done as far as workarounds go.
Still though, I'd be willing to pay for a custom modification that allows a customer to completely skip over all the shipping steps during checkout if the total cart weight is equal to zero. Any takers?

You could also modify your system file where it checks for shipping.

Replace With:

Find:
Code: Select all
public function hasShipping() {
$shipping = false;
foreach ($this->getProducts() as $product) {
if ($product['shipping']) {
$shipping = true;
break;
}
}
return $shipping;
}Code: Select all
public function hasShipping() {
$shipping = false;
foreach ($this->getProducts() as $product) {
if ($product['shipping']) {
$shipping = true;
break;
}
}
if ($this->getWeight() <= 0) {
$shipping = false;
}
return $shipping;

This is EXACTLY what I was trying to do, I knew it had to be a simple thing! (I'm just not much of a programmer, and opencart is still very new to me)
One last request:
How can I make it so that my Handling Fee is only applied if the cart weight is greater than zero? Right now my $2.00 Handling Fee is being applied to all products, but I only want to include it when shipping physical items.
Thanks again, you've already helped me out SO MUCH!!

Not a problem, glad to help.
For the handling fee, edit the file

Joel, you solved all my shipping problems... you are officially my hero, I can't thank you enough!
Would it be wise on my part to incorporate these modifications into a vqmod as opposed to performing the changes on core files? In theory, these core files will get overwritten next time opencart gets upgraded to a new release, correct?
Thanks again for all your help.

Hi,
I have a similar issue. Right now I want weight based shipping to be applied to only if item is more than 25kgs. Is this possible?
For an example, I have 2 items called A and B. Item A weight only 10kgs. But Item B weight 25kgs. So if a customer is checking out with item A, then cart shouldn't display weight based shipping as an option but other shipping methods are used. But if a customer is checking out with item B then I want weight based shipping displayed as per shipping method. is this possible to achieve?
Thank you in advance,
pgp

Hi,
Great thread. What would need to be done to restrict shipping if any item's weight is set to 0. I have lots of products with no weight info and would like to restrict shipping to people outside my area. Would like to add a message saying one or more items is not eligible for shipping to your country, zone, etc.
Thanks in advance.

}I'm going to make the assumption that your currency is already set to £. I'm also going to use the SubTotal to check the status of the shipping.Leksmaster wrote:Hello Guy

Having a similar issue.
I have successfully set this up:
If my cart weight = 0, then I only display the free-shipping module. If my cart weight is greater than or equal to 0, then I use the UPS module.
Here is my issue. If I have a item of '0' weight (or a free-shipping item) in the cart along with any other item of weight (or an item that has a shipping cost), UPS assumes that the '0' weight item is the base rate, and charges as such.
Is there a way to implement a rule that say:
If my item is set to weight '0', then associate no shipping cost? Or maybe I could say 'if my item is set to weight '0', then mark the item as 'does not require shipping', but only if there are other items in the cart of weight?
I am half way there on figuring this out. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
