Free Shipping and Tax calculations
hi,
i wanted to check how one could extend free shipping on certain physical
products. I did this by selecting "N" for the charge shipping box in the
create product page. But then i ran in trouble in calculating tax and the
checkout process will not work. Its because, if i select not to charge
shipping, no option to select a shipping address is shown during checkout
and it throws a error that no state or country code was avaliable to
determine the sales tax. The checkout process gets struck at this.
Is there any other way in which i can extend free shipping to the customers.
This has to be product specific. Secondly can we turn off tax calculations
all together is we dont chanrge tax at all. This will probably help to avoid
this error.
Thanks
rohit

I believe setting the products to no shipping is more for downloadable
products.
No shipping is defined in the Product Store Shipment Settings
There is a column for Inc Freeshipping (Y)
No Shipping _NA_ 0.00 0.00 N N N N Y
Then create a Promotion for free shipping, then a rule based on category
or productID
from the rules page
NOTE on Item ID : The Item ID on an action is a Product ID for Gift With
Purchase actions or for Free Shipping actions it is Shipment Method Type
ID to give free shipping on (if blank any Shipment Method Types may
receive free shipping)
NOTE on Party ID : The Party ID for Free Shipping actions is Carrier
Party ID to give free shipping for (if blank any Carrier Parties may
receive free shipping).
Then add the Procduct store to a promo.
however fixing the tax problem should be a if no shipping information
use the billing infomation.

yeah, i guess its kind of a bug, its works fine for quick checkout, shipping
charge shown is '0', but it crashes in normal checkout, since it totally
skips the step to select the mailing address, which determines the tax. i
guess the step to select shipping, should be skipped only if the product
type is "Digital Good".
