How to show Free shipping in checkout

Post by dmlwebal »

Joomla 3.9.12
PHP 7.2
Phoca Cart 3.4.0
Gantry 5 Premiere based template

Hi,

I have set up the cart to offer free shipping over a fixed amount. Also, I have added the Free Shipping plugin to show the progress bar in Ajax Pop Up (this is great btw Jan)

The amount that is sent to the payment is correct (shipping fee is not added when threshold is met) but have I set up something wrong in Admin. Should the fee dynamically change when free shipping total is met?

Regards
David

- or to automatically select it when there will be no other shipping methods available.

The rules just says that the shipping method will be displayed, so you need to set all methods:

e.g.:

Method 1 - Standard Shipping, Rule: 0 - 1000 EUR (it is important to set hire the to value, so such method will be hidden in shipping options)
Method 2 - Free shipping, Rule - 1000 EUR to ...

Greatly appreciated :)
