Free Shipping Coupon with custom multiple flat shipping rates

babblebib

Is it possible to give users a 'free shipping' coupon that can be used in conjunction with the Multiple Flat Rate code snippet http://docs.foxycart.com/snippets/shipping/multiple_flat_rates.

The issue i have is that my shipping is calculated via java script on my checkout page, and my understanding is that the coupons have already been applied at that stage?

@babblebib,

You can mix the free shipping coupon functionality found on the snippets page with the multiple flat rates snippet to get the functionality you're after: http://wiki.foxycart.com/snippets/start

Hi @fc_adam, thanks for your note.

I've added the free shipping sample to my checkout page. I've tried putting the JS both before and after the multiple flat rate shipping options, but it does not work in either case.

My site is http://goo.gl/AacV6, is there any chance you could take a look to see i am going wrong?

@babblebib,

Sorry, I should have been more specific. You needed to actually mix it into what you're currently doing, not include it as it is. The particular snippet you're using is for live rates, where as you're utilising flat rate shipping.

What I'd suggest would be to add this into your little getShippingOptions function:

if (fc_json.hasOwnProperty('coupons')) {
    jQuery.each(fc_json.coupons, function (i, coupon) {
        if (coupon.name.search(/free shipping/i) > -1) {
            returnArray.push(new Array(0.00, "Free Shipping"));
        }
    });
}

H, that code snippet you gave me works perfectly, thanks!

Now it is time to get to work on all those 'free shipping' xmas promotions!!
