I currently have a one-step-checkout page.

In the following example i'd like the shipping price to automatically be "0" (free shipping) or the string "Free" if the price is higher than xxx.

I've looked around for options to do this in the Magento backend, but cant seem to find anything to do this. I also looked in the Magento extensions library for something there, but no luck.

Guess hardcoding something on frontend-only doesn't quite do it, since this should also reflect/show in emails and invoices.

Any ideas on anything smart out there that could solve this?

  • While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. – philwinkle Nov 11 '13 at 23:07
  • well the answer is google and read the how to's right? It's more of a failure to do the basic things needed to answer the question your self IMNHO since I'd just be coping the write up from Magento themselves – jeremy.bass Nov 11 '13 at 23:09

  • Accepting this one, since I ended up following the instructions posted in the url in the section of "Free shipping on orders over $XX" - this made it all work for me. I agree it would make sence to post the description or similar from there on this page, but not sure what the right thing to do here is – user1231561 Nov 17 '13 at 21:49
  • I've found that the right way on this is a moving target, I have been down voted for coping the instructions on SO but well important part is that you find your solution. Cheers – jeremy.bass Nov 17 '13 at 22:54

Essentially all you have to do is enable the free method and it's free price breakpoint in your shipping method settings. Navigate to System > Config > Shipping Methods and select your carrier (UPS in this instance).

Set the Free Method, the Free Shipping w/ Minimum Amount and the Minimum Order Amount fields.

  • Hi Phil - thanks for the suggestion. What you suggest seems to somewhat solve my problem, but make another appear. Enabling this will make an additional section appear on the checkoutpage that enables the user to chose whether to deliver with free shipping. Im basically looking not to have this section but just have the shipping price automatically update. For this I found you need to create a price rule according to the url posted: magentocommerce.com/wiki/3_-_store_setup_and_management/… – user1231561 Nov 17 '13 at 21:47

Try Table rate method in magento for setting free shipping like this. You can also set free shipping to specific state,city using Table rate. Rule for free shipping 500 and above:

enter image description here

To set up Table Rates go to System -> Configuration and Select Shipping Methods from the Left Navigation. Select Your desired website " Current Configuration Scope". I have selected "Main Website". Make settings like below screenshot: Upload the CSV file and save config to apply the rule to your store. enter image description here
