Few products are free and few products are paid

2 Replies

I have two products Prod A and Prod B.

Prod A is always FREE and shipping should not be calculated for it.

When I put both products in the cart, the shipping should only be applied to Prod B at different values. For example: Prod B cost €10 the shipping = €5. Prod B x 2 = €20 the shipping = €7. If Prod B x 2 has Prod A in the cart the shipping should still be €7.

Thanks for your question. You need two shipping methods. One for Free products (i.e Product A) and another for Paid products (i.e Product B). Also we don’t want to show Free shipping if Paid product in the cart. For that, we will have to use Group mode option. So lets first set Group  mode option

 In Global setting -> Group Option tab of xshippingpro,  Please select Group1 is Highest.
Now lets create Free method
Free Method
 
1. Create new method and provide a name
2. In general setting, select Group is Group1
3. In Products/Category tab, select product rule “Any of the selected products with others”. Choose your product A
4. In Price setting tab, select Rate type is Flat. Enter Price 0
Paid Method
 
1. Create another method and provide a name
2. In general setting, select Group is Group1
3. In Products/Category tab, select product rule “Any of the selected products with others”. Choose your product B
4. In Price setting tab, select Rate type is Quantity- Method Specific. Enter Following unit ranges
Start      End      Cost      Per Unit Block       Allow Partial
0            1            5                   0                         NO
1             2          7                   0                           NO
and so on…

Weight based shipping with free shipping option using xshipppingpro

4 Replies

Hi,
can you please help me with configuration of plugin?

I have weight type of shipping in 7 weight ranges and i need to implement also the free shipping when the total price of cart or order is more than 50 € and under 10kg?! Is something like this possible?

Thank you very much

Hi

Thanks for contacting.
For achieving your scenario, you need two shipping methods. One for weight based and another for Free shipping. Since we don’t want to show Weight based shipping if free shipping is available during checkout, so we need to use group mode for that.
So please go to Global setting -> Group Option in xshippingpro. Now Select Group1 is Lowest
Now lets make first method for weight based.
Weight Based Shipping
——————————–
1. Create a new method and give it a name
2. Under General Tab, Select Group is Group1
3. Under Price Setting tab, Select Rate type is weight
4. Now Enter your unit ranges. For example:
Start       End          Cost          Per Unit Block      Allow Partial
0              10             $$                  0                          NO
10            20             $$                 0                           NO
and so on. Here $$ means shipping price for the respective ranges
Free Shipping
———————
1. Create another method and give it a name
2. Under General Tab, Select Group is Group1
3. Under Price Setting tab, Select Rate type is Total
4. Now Enter following unit ranges.
Start       End          Cost          Per Unit Block      Allow Partial
50        999999           0                  0                          NO
5. Under Other tab, Enter Weight range  0 to 10

Hi, Cloud you please help me to resolve a confusion?

My store use 0.1 kg as the unit weight, the unit price for each 0.1 kg is about $0.7.

For instance:
7.33 kg Shipping cost = 73.3*$0.7 = $51.31.

How can I combine this options?

Thanks.

Thanks for your question.  For achieving your goal, please do followings.

  1. Under Price setting tab, select the Shipping by to Weight
  2.  Now Enter Unit Ranges as follows

Start    End       Cost        Per Unit Block       Allow Partial
0            1000       0.7             0.1                                 NO

Unit Ranges in details in xshippingpro

Leave a reply

For each method you can define multiple ranges e.g weight ranges or quantity ranges and a separate cost for that range.
For example, consider a shipping requirements where you need following:

1. For the first 3 items, cost is $5
2. For the remaining each item cost is $2

In this scenario, we need two unit range rows. Since it is related with quantity, so must
select rate type is “Quantity”. Then you will have to enter following unit ranges.

Start    End       Cost        Per Unit Block       Allow Partial
0            3            5               0                                       NO
4           9999       2             1                                        NO
Finally you will have to select final price to cumulative. why cumulative? Because you want to sum up two ranges cost together.

Q. So what will be shipping cost for 5 items from above scenario?

A. For first 3 item, $5 (According first unit range)
For remaining 2 item (2 x $2) $4 (According second unit range)
——————————————
Cumulative cost $9

So shipping cost will be $9
Q. What is Per Unit Block?

A. Per Unit Block simply means per unit. For example, in our above scenario, we want to charge
$2 per item after the first 3 items. So Per unit block is 1. Thats why we have entered Per unit block is 1
for second unit range (second row) for our described shipping scenario.
Q. What is Allow Partial?

A. Sometimes you might need to charge for the half block or half item. Sometimes you don’t want
to allow partila block. Moreover you want to charge for the full block cost in case of partial block. Consider following scenario:
1. if weight is less 3kg, cost will be $5 per kg
2. if weight is greater than 3kg, cost will be flat rate $10
In this scenario, we need two unit range rows. Since it is related with weight, so must
select rate type is “weight”. Then you will have to enter following unit ranges.

Start    End       Cost        Per Unit Block       Allow Partial
0            3            5               0                                       NO
4           9999       10             0                                        NO

Since we don’t need summed cost of each rows together in this scenario. So final cost will be single NOT cumulative.

So what will be cost of 3kg?   Total block 3, cost of each block $5 so cost is $15 (3*5) (according to first row)
So what will be cost of 4kg?   Flat rate $10 (according to second row)
So what will be cost of 2.5kg?   Total block 2.5, cost of each block $5 so cost is $15 (3*5, 2.5 rounds to 3 depending on Allow Partial) (according to first row).
But if you would set “Allow Partial” is Yes, cost would be $12.5 (2.5*5)

Product rules in details in all X-Modules

TLDR: Please check this quick summary before dive into the following detailed explanation.

There is a total of six product rules in xshippingpro. These are:

  1. Must have selected ones
  2. Must have selected ones with other
  3. Any of the selected ones
  4. Any of the selected ones with others
  5. Except for the selected ones
  6. Except for the selected ones with others

1. Must have selected ones

All defined items must be present in the shopping cart and, the shopping cart must not contain anything from non-defined items. For example, you have chosen items A, B, and C for a method. So the shipping cart must contain all A, B, and C to have the method appeared. If the cart contains any item other than A, B, and C, the method will be unavailable. In short –

 Shopping cart items should be a complete/equal set of the defined items

2. Must have selected ones with others

All chosen items must be present in the shopping cart to have appeared the method during checking out. If any of the defined items (selected items) is absent in the shopping cart, the particular method will not have appeared during checkout. Other categories might have been in the shopping cart that does not matter. For example, let’s say you have defined items A, B, and C for a method. If a customer purchase all three items A, B, and C, the method will have appeared. The main requirement is that the shopping cart must contain all defined items regardless of the presence of non-chosen items. In short –

Defined items should be a sub-set of the shopping cart items

3. Any of the selected ones

At least one of the defined items should be present in the shopping cart and non-defined items should NOT be present. For example, you have defined items A, B, and C for a method. To have appeared the method, the shopping cart must contain any one of A, B, and C, and the shopping cart must not contain items apart from A or B or C . The main requirement is the cart must contain any of the chosen items BUT it can not contain other non-defined items. In short –

 Shopping cart items should be a sub-set of the defined items and it should not contain other non-defined items

4. Any of the selected ones with others

It is exactly the same as the Any of the selected ones except the shopping cart contains other non-defined items. In most cases, this is the rule you are looking for.  In short –

Shopping cart items should be a sub-set of the defined items

5. Except the selected ones

All chosen items must not be present in the shopping cart. For example, you have defined items A, B, and C for a method. The method will have appeared when the shopping cart contains items other than  A, B and, C. In short –

Shopping cart ones should not be a sub-set of the defined items

6. Except the selected ones but allowed with other

It is an interesting rule. It works the same as the Except the selected ones but, if the cart contains both non-defined items and defined items together, the method will be available.

For example, you have defined items A, B, and C for a method. The method will not have appeared when the cart contains A or B or C. However, if the cart contains any non-defined item like D along with A/B/C, the method will be available. In short –

 Shopping cart items should be a sub-set of the defined items and any other non-defined items must be present.

How to offer free shipping just for a certain categories using xshippinpro?

2 Replies
There are two cases arise when you want to offer free shipping just for a certain categories. Will this free offer remain valid if customer add any third category with your applicable categories for free shipping? For example, You want to offer free shipping for the categories A, B, C but during checking out, customer also could choose product from category D, will customer will get free shipping in that case?
I will show both ways in this post.
Method 1  – When other third category is not allowed
————————————————————————
  1. Create a new method and give it a name
  2. Now go to Product/Category Tab, Select category rule is “Any of the selected Category“. Then choose your applicable categories for those you want to offer free shipping.
  3. Now go to Price Setting Tab and select the Shipping By to Flat. Enter Price 0
Method 2  –When other third category is allowed
————————————————————————
  1. Create a new method and give it a name
  2. Now go to Product/Category Tab, Select category rule is “Any of the selected Category with other“. Then choose your applicable categories for those you want to offer free shipping.
  3. Now go to Price Setting Tab and select the Shipping By to Flat Amount.  Enter Price 0
 Okay, thats all. Now a bonus. What if you want to offer free shipping after a certain order total or after a certain weight?  For example, you want to offer free shipping for just some categories after a certain order total e.g $200. Here are the steps:
Method 3  – Free shipping for just some categories after a certain order total
————————————————————————
  1. Create a new method and give it a name
  2.  Now go to Product/Category Tab, Select category rule is “Any of the selected Category with other“. Then choose your applicable categories for those you want to offer free shipping. Noted that if you don’t want to allow other categories, then you will have to select category rule “Any of the selected Category” instead of “Any of the selected Category with other“
  3.  Now go to Price Setting Tab and select the Shipping By to Total.  Now enter unit ranges as follows
Start         End           Cost          Per Unit Block       Allow Partial
200            99999        0                         0                            0
Noted that I am considering total total is $200 after that you want to give free shipping.

Finally, last but not least thing. If you want to set a shipping price if order total is less $200 for the above case. For example, you want to charge $20 shipping free if order total is less than $200 and free above that.  You will have to change just unit ranges of  step 3.  New unit ranges will be:

Start         End           Cost          Per Unit Block       Allow Partial
0                 199            20                         0                            0
200            99999        0                            0                            0
