Bypassing shipping calculation

[wendylady]

I believe if you disable all the shipping address fields on your Address Form Settings page of your control panel, the shipping address box in checkout disappears.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have already done that. I have shipping fields and required fields all unchecked. In the shipping box, it shows the pencil and edit, and below that it shows the comma that goes between the state and country.

It's working now since I logged out and back in again. I was going to try to create a new account but it keeps going to the modify account page. I tried to create an account on my sons computer and I keep getting the message, password and password confirmation do not match. There is no line on the form to confirm the password. Any ideas?

Try changing line #79 in view_cart.tpl.php from:

<? /*DO NOT MODIFY THIS LINE!!*/ if ($Show_Shipping) { ?>

to:

<? /*DO NOT MODIFY THIS LINE!!*/ if ($Show_Shipping && 0) { ?>

This would be much better in a separate thread or a helpdesk ticket. This thread is a tutorial on how to bypass the shipping method page during checkout.

I don't know what's causing this. If you open a helpdesk ticket we can look at it for you.

Okay, sorry about that. I thought about that after I posted. I will put in a ticket.

I found the problem with the confirm password not being there. I had unchecked it in the address form settings under account fields. Once I checked it again, it appeared.

I will post what I did to remove shipping from the checkout. I looked at a few posts and took info from a few of them. I am not sure if all of these steps were needed but it worked. I did have to logout and log back in to see the changes though.

Under Shipping/Couriers
Create new and named it None
Nothing is checked - initially I tried to uncheck the services but it wouldn't let me. It must have unchecked itself after I added the code in my index.php file.
Save

Under Shipping/Methods
Created new and named it None
In Drop Down choose None
In Method type None
Save

Under Shipping/Shipping Rules
Created new and named it None
shpping cost 0 per order
Check enabled
Save

Under Setting/Shipping/Address Form
Unchecked everything under shipping fields and required shipping fields
Save

Then I followed Jamie's suggestion in this thread for versions v2.0.0 and newer
Replacing the last line "<?php } ?>"

to

<?php
}
$SC['bypass_shipping'] = 'not required';
?>

----------------------------------

In order_detail.tpl.php
I Removed this section below to remove the shipping box at the top of the page:

<table class="address_block" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" align="left">
<tr class="header_row">
<td colspan="2">
Shipping Address
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: left">
<?=$Ship_First_Name ?> <?=$Ship_Last_Name ?>
<br />
<?php /*DO NOT MODIFY THIS LINE!*/ if ($Bill_Company || $Ship_Company) { ?>
<?=$Ship_Company?>
<br />
<?php /*DO NOT MODIFY THIS LINE!*/ } ?>
<?=$Ship_Street?>
<br />
<?=$Ship_City ?>, <?=$Ship_State_Abbrev ?> <?=$Ship_Postal_Code?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hope this helps anyone else that don't need the shipping feature.

I read a message in this thread:

I have items that do not have a shipping charge and I have items that do. I would like customers to be able to skip this step only if their order does not have shipping charges...

Question: Has this feature been added to SquirrelCart? I have the same issue. I have implemented the shipping bypass on carts in the past that do not need shipping at all, BUT i have a new project that some items have shipping fees and other items are service based items that do not need shipping.

Thanks for any help... we are launching this site in 3 days, so I have to figure something out.

Thanks

Hi Jamie
Thanks for your explanation, but Squirrelcart still asks for the shipping address... and we see "Choose shipping" as of step 3 of the checkout process.
Is there a way to remove both?

Thanks.

If you uncheck all the shipping address fields on the Address Form Settings page in your control panel, the shipping address section will disappear.

and we see "Choose shipping" as of step 3 of the checkout process.

You can remove step 3 in the template checkout_progress.tpl.php.
