Okay, so trying to figure out a way to handle this. I have 16 multistores and have always offered free shipping on orders over $99, which is fine for all but 1 of my stores. One of them sells very heavy cast iron pieces and I just lost a bunch of money when someone ordered one to Hawaii as shipping alone was nearly the cost of the item.

So I'm looking for a shipping solution that will let me restrict free shipping to AK and HI just for that one store and set rates for those 2 states only on that store only. Not finding anything off hand in the marketplace that will do this so thought I would ask you all if you know of one that will? Or have a creative idea for handling this using native oc tools? I use shipping by weight for my stores and run 3.0.3.9

Running Opencart v3.0.3.9 with multi-stores and the default template from https://www.labeshops.com which has links to all my stores.

Surely Johnathan's Ultimate Shipping will do it?

Ultimate Shipping definitely would, but for a cheaper option, Formula-Based Shipping should work. That can do shipping based on total, weight, geo zone, and store so it should work for your needs.

Feel free to take a look at the screenshots and demo site, and if you're interested let me know at www.getclearthinking.com/contact if you have any questions.

We have our free shipping set to over $99 as well but can’t do that for AK and HI.

I use Total-Based shipping mod which is also from Johnathan for this. It works for us to prevent free shipping to AK and HI.

I just set up a geo zone that does not include AK and HI (also PR and Canada) and then assigned that zone to the TB shipping module. If they enter those 2 states at checkout they don’t see free shipping as an option. We have other rates setup in that mod for sales under $99 but those 2 states don’t see those either. They must use UPS shipping rates from a different extension.
