Free Shipping from EUR 50 - How?

Hi there,

I totally like the script but the "thing" with the shipping costs is very very complicated. Somehow with the help of the forum I found out how to make the Shipping costs to 3,90 Euro in the Modules/Shipping Modules/Shipping Costs to add a ratio of

"5:3.28"

in the "Zone 1: Weight Rate Table" and "Non-matched Zones: Weight Rate Table" , even if I don´t understand why this is so extremely complicated.

IDEA: Why just make a field "Shipping Costs" and fill in "the Shipping costs" ;-) ;-)  HAha, sorry.

OK now I want to have, that from 50 EUR on there are no Shipping costs. I found a thread here:

https://www.litecart.net/de/forums/2/general-discussions/6821/free-shipping-if-more-than-subtotal

and was going to the "Modules/Order Total Modules/Shipping Fee"... and found the "Free Shipping Table".

As I understand from the thread, I have to fill in

country_code;min_subtotal
DE,50

but this is not working.  I also tried

country_code;min_subtotal
GB,50

like written in the thread, but this is also not working.

Can you help me, what do I have to write / code there, to make "from 50 EUR no shipping costs"?

I´m totally lost ;-) ;-)

Best regards,
Hansy

Hello,
try this:
GB,,50
The double comma because you should enter a zone so empty in case you don't have.
With me, it works. Not that 50 will be the amount NOT including tax.
Let me know.

Hi Vilai,

thanks but this is also not working. Herewith a screenshot from my "Modules/Shipping Costs" modification. I totally don´t know if this is correct because the Shipping Costs stuff is a totally miracle for me. Maybe I have to change some parts here?

The shipping costs should be "3,90 Euro" incl. 19% Tax ... only with this "5:3.28" constellation this is working (but don´t know why, I found this in the Forum here)... maybe here is something wrong?

Hello,
5:3.28 means that till 5kg the price is 3.28 (excluding vat, 3.28 +vat = 3.9) so it is correct,
and in the second screenshot DE,50 means that is free in DE if the amount is over 50 (not including vat).
I had to use double comma, maybe a different version.
So, is it working fine now?

Ok thank you. So I understand that 5:3.28 stuff.

But as for second, it is still not working. I tried DE,50 / DE,,50 // DE;50 ... always not working. System is always adding the shipping costs.

Maybe is has something to do with the "DE" ? I never installed something like "DE" (in other samples there is written "GB", but this is also not working).

I am wondering why there is a need for a "DE" when nowhere a "DE" is defined. Is it standing for the country? What has this to do with the shipping costs???

My "Geo Zone" is called "DE VAT Zone" ... but when I try "DE VAT Zone;50" or elso, it is also not working...

Herewith the only setting I have an "DE":

Hopefully I thought I got it... but I was wrong.

I tried all options in the "Zone based Shipping" / Method...

When I switch to the signs "=>"  (like in the older Forum Thread) there are NO shipping costs at all any more.

When I switched back to "<" the Shipping costs are back, but also again with 50 EUR plus.

I don´t understand why "Shipping Costs" is so extremely complicated.

So maybe it has something to do with the "<" ">" etc... but I don´t have any idea for what this should be or is useful.

Any Idea what combinations to check now?

Or can somone add something simple?

I am totally confused.

I see some differences between my one.
Try this:
country_code,zone_code,min_subtotal
DE,,50

I have 3 values, you have 2. I have , you have ;
I don't know, just try...

By the way, in admin/country, do you have Germany (DE)?

Hi Vilai,

thanks a lot for your time and ideas, but nothing is working here. Maybe it´s a bug in the script. I even totally don´t understand why there is such a complicated system, because 99% of the shops I know have a System like mine (You pay a fixed shipping fee until you reach a sum of XX, equal how big, small or heavy your parcel is)... it´s like to have a car with 20 steering wheels haha ;-) ;-)

I totally like this script and it´s my second shop with this, so ... I found another solution (maybe helpful for others with the same problem).

I will use the "Minimum Order Fee" Add-On ( https://www.litecart.net/de/addons/290/minimum-order-fee ) , put the fee on 3,90 Euros and the "minimum" on 50 Euros. The I translate the word "Minimum Order Fee" in "Shipping Costs" and - hopefully this will help.

Again, thank you very much for your help and time :-)

Hello,
good to hear that you find a way.
I will keep in mind this add-on in case I will encounter problems in future installations.
Bye
