Streamlined Checkout™ Knowledge Base

 Managing Free Shipping

Streamlined Checkout™ provides the ability to precisely control which shipping methods qualify for Free Shipping.  This feature can be configured for both StoreFront™ standard and Streamlined Checkout custom shipping methods.  Combining this feature with Geo constraints, Free Shipping Coupons, or managing Free Shipping at the product level provide additional power to provide precise, fine-grained Fee Shipping management.

This configuration is discussed as in the Streamlined Checkout User Guide and is implemented through adding one or both parameter tags to the SC tag on the shipping.aspx page:

To manage standard StoreFront Carrier shipping methods:
     Base_Carrier_Rates="03;1010;Parcel;FDXGD92"
     This specifies which carrier rates will not be displayed if the order qualifies for free shipping. The
     values separated by semi-colons represent entries in the Shipping Table of the StoreFront™
     database (use the value found in the Code field). The default values specify all of ground
     carrier methods. Therefore, if the order qualifies for free shipping, only the expedited carrier
     methods will be displayed along with the free shipping option.

To manage custom Streamlined Checkout shipping methods:
     Base_Custom_Rates="1"
     This option only applies if Custom_Ship="true".
     This specifies which custom rates will not be displayed if the order qualifies for free shipping.
     The values separated by semi-colons represent entries in the PENDX_ShipMethods Table of the
     StoreFront™ database (use the value found in the keyID field). The default value specifies first
     entry in the table.


Geo Constraints
Additional control over Free Shipping can be enabled by configuring Streamlined Checkout™ Geo Constraints, where specific shipping methods are filtered based on country, state or postal code.  See the User Guide or knowledge base for details.

Product-Based Free Shipping
Alternatively, Streamlined Checkout™ supports the ability to set Free Shipping for specific products. If you have specified the Free_Ship_By_Product="True" parameter (see Parameter Definitions below) then regardless of the configured ship method, if a product's ship price is defined as 0 (zero), that product will be treated as a Free Shipping product. This gives you the ability to run free shipping promotions on an individual product basis.

Free Shipping Coupons
Also, Streamlined Checkout™ can be configured to support Free Shipping Coupons.  See the User Guide or knowledge base for details.
