Not add shipping until checkout after address given

[graphicz]

I am sorry to trouble you with this but I have looked everywhere.

How can I make it so that SD does not add shipping until checkout after address given? Even a default site adds shipping to the ATC confirmation which is putting customers off.

There are loads of entries in the forum asking about this but no solution. It is suggested that it is default not to add shipping until checkout but in the default Swift site this is not so.

Here are two completely default Swift sites and they add shiping to the ATC and cart

You can hide the shipping line but it still gets added to the total!

Thank you!

I don't use Swift but I'd be surprised if it showed shipping charges in the Add To Cart and the Cart if you have the shipping charge set by zone and/or Class as these would be undefined until the customer is at the checkout stage.

Hi Mike
I raised a ticket with SD - "Not add shipping until checkout after address given"

and this is the reply:

I had escalated this to product development and they have come back saying effecting this change will not be an easy task it will need extensive script changes and will effect other areas.
Also this feature was actually added based on a multiple customer requests.
So unfortunately your request will have to be one for the Wish list..
For your future reference the wish list id number is WL- 3409

So what you say is what used to happen but alas no more due to customer demand!

Best wishes

How odd.

I wonder if it is picking up the lowest cost option then? You could possibly create a 'Collect from Store' shipping class at £0.00 which should stop it adding anything to the Add To Cart / Cart. (and if you then hide the shipping line there it would be invisible)

You could also remove the 'Collect from Store' option from the checkout option list using Javascript (if you have more than one shipping option). If you have just the one shipping option then you could hide the drop down list and make sure the normal shipping option is selected by default.

Hmmm... Like that - I will try it!

I remember once SD support suggested to switch on something like "get location early" on a shipping issue I had... not sure if that's a quick workaround (also I dunno if it works with Swift)

[graphicz]

I think no more!

So I created a shipping class in UK for Click and Collect cost £0.00



Sure enough this became the selected option.

I added ‘d-none' to ‘class="checkoutMobileTR row”' in ‘Checkout Shopping cart Grid’ and ‘View Cart Shopping Cart Grid’ and in the 'Small Checkout Shopping Cart Grid Swift’ i added

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Checkout%20Page%200%22%20OR%20%0d%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Add%20To%20Cart%20Confirmation%22" > d-none</actinic:block>

to 'checkoutMobileTR row'

Inspecting element in Checkout page 01 the select stuff is

<select id="lstClass" name="ShippingClass"> <option selected="" value="2">Packing &amp; Shipping Charge UK (£8.50)</option> <option value="14">Click and Collect (£0.00)</option> </select>

so I added to the "Advanced Shipping Class Selection RWD"

<script> $("#lstClass option[value='14']").remove(); </script>

Thsi all works perfectly (thank you Mike) https://www.graphiczdev.uk/pjmed/

Question is can I use a variable or script to get the Select ID and the ‘Click and Collect’ Option Value to make it more generally useable and reliable?

Thank you

[Mike Hughes]

Brilliant. Glad you got it working.

I have now heard back from Sellerdeck Developers with a definitive fix - with thanks and credit to them

Edit ActinicOrder.pm , locate the code

if (($::s_sDeliveryRegionCode eq '') &&
StateRequiredForValidation('Delivery', $::s_sDeliveryCountryCode)) # no region code set so far and needed for validation
{
my $sRegion = GetSellerDeckRegion($::s_sDeliveryCountryCode,
$$::g_pSetupBlob{ADDRESS_4},
$$::g_pSetupBlob{POSTAL_CODE}); 
if ($sRegion ne $ActinicOrder::UNDEFINED_REGION) 
{
$::s_sDeliveryRegionCode = $sRegion;
} 
elsif ($::g_LocationInfo{DELIVERY_COUNTRY_CODE} eq '') # country not set originally?
{
$::s_sDeliveryCountryCode = ''; # unset it as no valid region found
}
}

and comment it , i.e. it should read

# if (($::s_sDeliveryRegionCode eq '') &&
# StateRequiredForValidation('Delivery', $::s_sDeliveryCountryCode)) # no region code set so far and needed for validation
# {
# #
# # Read the Post Code Regions blob - fails silently if not present
# #
# if ($$::g_pSetupBlob{POSTAL_CODE} ne "") # is there a postal code defined?
# {
# my $sPath = ACTINIC::GetPath();
# ACTINIC::ReadPostCodeRegionsFile($sPath);
# } 
# my $sRegion = GetSellerDeckRegion($::s_sDeliveryCountryCode,
# $$::g_pSetupBlob{ADDRESS_4},
# $$::g_pSetupBlob{POSTAL_CODE}); 
# if ($sRegion ne $ActinicOrder::UNDEFINED_REGION) 
# {
# $::s_sDeliveryRegionCode = $sRegion;
# } 
# elsif ($::g_LocationInfo{DELIVERY_COUNTRY_CODE} eq '') # country not set originally?
# {
# $::s_sDeliveryCountryCode = ''; # unset it as no valid region found
# }
# }

In the same file, locate the line

$::s_sDeliveryCountryCode = $::g_LocationInfo{DELIVERY_COUNTRY_CODE} ne '' ? $::g_LocationInfo{DELIVERY_COUNTRY_CODE} : ActinicLocations::GetMerchantCountryCode();

and replace it by

$::s_sDeliveryCountryCode = $::g_LocationInfo{DELIVERY_COUNTRY_CODE};

Hope this helps
