Hi

Is it possible in any way to add a shippingmethod that doesm't have a price?
Not like it costs ZERO, but where I can add a short text saying that we will be in contact regarding the price.

Hello Thomas,

Creating a free shipping method with the proper title and description should do the job.

Not like it costs ZERO, but where I can add a short text saying that we will be in contact regarding the price.

If not, can you give us more information about what you want to achieve ? Thank you.

Kind regards,
Mohamed.

Thanks, but that solution doesn't quite solve my issue.
It will show up as FREE and I need it to be without any kind of price - just a text that says something like: We will get in contact with you regarding shipping.

This is because the customer I make the shop for, is an artist and all of her paintings have different sizes and the shipping company have different prices each time.

Makes sense?

Hi,

Well, you could always use a translation override to change the text "Free" to something else:

But if you only have that shipping method and you just want to display a message for it on the checkout, why have a shipping method in the first place ?
You could just disable it, and remove the "shipping" view from your "checkout workflow" and instead add a "text" view where you could write whatever you want regarding the shipping. How about it ?

Hi

I can't use the translation, since I need it for the normal products in the shop
It's only the paintings that need this type of estimate before shipping.

I have played with the files and CSS and made a solution that works for now.
I have hidden the price (of 0,00) and insert the text in the Display > View
Added a class some I could target only one of the shipping options

Seems to look okay in the emails too, but one thing that would really nice to have, was the option to show the description of a shipping method in the emails?

Kind regards
Thomas

Hi,

there is indeed no option for that.
However, at the end of the "preload" of the email, you add add such code: That way, in the HTML section of the email, you can add such tag: and it will be replaced by the description of the payment method.

Thanks
I'll try that, but the code is about payment, not shipping?

Tried this, and it works

But not quite ...

If 2 shipping methods is present, I only get the description from the first:


Can I have both?
Best if they where beneath each method.

I managed to get this fixed by changing some code in the preload-version
