Free shipping option for domestic purchases

[yan77]

Hi - I have searched this topic on the forums but I was unable to find an answer, that is why I am creating a new topic.

Basically I have USPS Shipping for Virtuemart plug-in on my virtuemart account and it calculates the shipping for any specific address worldwide. I want to offer free shipping option for domestic customers (US) and keep it as it is for the international purchases (non-US). There is generally more than one option coming up when you go to checkout page as far as shipping, the cheapest one is "Priority Mail", and I want only this option to be free for domestic customers. If they want a faster version, for example "Priority Mail Express", that should still add a shipping cost. Basically, free for domestic customers at "Priority Mail" option, and leave the shipping fees as it is for the rest of options including domestic and international purchases.  Can anyone help me on how to set up this?

Thanks

just configure the standard VM weight/country method as free and only for US and label it US Free Shipping
Disable the "Priority Mail" option in the UPS plugin

Hi - thank you for your response however probably my lack of knowledge prevented me from understanding what exactly I needed to do. Would you mind providing a bit more detail? When you say VM weight/country method as free, where is it exactly? I could not find any weight / country configuration under configuration or somewhere else. thank you

VM weight/country method

This shipment method is provided with plain VM and you can use this to create a free shipping option. Note that this is an extra shipping method that with the right setting will appear together with Your UPS method.

by the way, is there any way to exclude some states in the US? ( we cannot provide free shipping to Alaska, Porto Rico and Hawaii). I see that you can block countries for free shipping but not states.

you would need to adapt the code - clone the weight plugin - rename it and add the code to exclude the states in the checkConditions() function
