However I would like to provide them with information to allow them to get free shipping by purchasing more products! As an example, e a customer purchases £8.00 worth of goods, shipping will cost £5. However if they increase their purchase above £10 then shipping would be free. On the shipping page of the checkout process below where they select from the radio buttons for the shipping options, how can I dynamically display something along the lines of: Spend £2 more to get free shipping. Can I get the current variable for the total cart value? How can I access this via PHP, I have tried to echo and var_dump the cart but get lost trying to locate the cart total. If I knew how to access this total cart variable I can then create something along the lines of: $get_free_shipping = (10 - $cart_total); echo 'Why not spend '.$get_free_shipping.' more and get free shipping'; How can I get the cart total?
