Reducing the Checkout

[magicalwonders]

I'd like to edit out the mention of Shipping & Handling which appears on page two of the checkout procedure.

This is the bit that mentions Class & Service and asks for any special delivery instructions.

I think the code that controls this and appears in Act_order01 is:-

<td bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:CHECKOUTBG" width="60%"> NETQUOTEVAR:SHIPPROMPT001</td>
<td bgcolor="NETQUOTEVAR:CHECKOUTBG" width="40%">
<input type="TEXT" name="SHIPUSERDEFINED" size="20" maxlength="255" value="NETQUOTEVAR:SHIPUSERDEFINED">
</td>


Can anyone confirm if this is the code I need to edit? If it is, should I just comment it out or is it O.K. to delete it?

Hope someone can advise.

Would not delete it, but comment it out and see how you get on with it once uploaded..

It is better to do this from within the application.

In 'Business Settings | Shipping and Handling' de-select 'Shipping Charges Made' and remove the text in the 'Message' field.

Then go to 'Design | Text | Web Site (cont) | Shipping and Tax'. Scroll down to the bottom and de-select 'Shown' against the 'Shipping and Handling User Definable' field.

Thanks for looking at this Chris,

If I deselect "shipping charges made" under Business settings, will that not also stop charges to overseas customers who I want to pay postage charges?

I am offering free shipping for U.K. customers, whilst outside of the U.K. will pay postage.

Page two of the checkout shows the following,

Shipping And Handling

Please select how you would like your purchase to be shipped to you.
Class of Service: Free Delivery (£0.00)
Enter any special delivery instructions:

Plus a rectangular box is displayed.

I need to choose the best method of shipping various products after I receive the order, and customers will have no choice as to the class of service.

So I'd like to lose this entire section including the rectangular box whilst still retaining the function of charging shipping to overseas customers.

Is this possible?

I've managed to sort this. Although I've kept "Shipping charges made" as selected, I've followed the remainder of the solution that Chris has given.

This has produced the result I was looking for.

Many thanks
