Free shipping - On Product X

Hi,

 

A customer is asking us to develop Free Shipping for a single/set of product(s).

 

This means that if you have 2 products (1 with free shipping and another one with shipping fee), the shipping fee would be calculated as if there was only 1 product in the cart (for a specific shipping method only). The customer is also using integration with FedEx.

 

Conditions

  • There are multiple shipping methods (using FedEx but the solution needs to work for any shipping method configuration)
  • Only a subset of those would be used to trigger the Free Shipping

 

The only way I can think of doing this is setting the weight to 0, if Shipping method is X within the date range. My question is where would be the best place or if there are any other suggestions?

  • In Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Notifications.Ecommerce.Cart.BeforeShippingMethodIsSet set the orderline weight to 0 if conditions are met?
    Use an item list to set the relation between Product, Shipping method and Date Range

    OR
     
  • Is there another (suggested) way?

 

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

Hi,

 

After discussing it internally maybe a best option would be to:

  • Use Ecommerce.Order.BeforeShippingFeeCalculationArgs instead
  • Set the orderline quanity to 0 for that Shippng fee (so it calculates by 0 instead of updating weight and volume - set on the product)

 

Does this sound right?

 

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

Can't tell, as the entire setup sounds a little off and would be very dependent on setup. So I guess you would have to test your way through...
