Getting Started

Welcome to ExtensionStudio OpenCart Extension! We would like to thank you for choosing our extension - ExtensionStudio

Free Shipping Based On Product & Category

Free shipping is an unavoidable business strategy for online stores. It really improves the perception of the store if you periodically take the burden of shipping costs. Customers are bound to feel good when the shipping costs are not passed on to them often. However, you need to achieve this without really burning a hole in your pocket. OpenCart Free Shipping Extension helps you with just that.

With this extension you can Restrict Free Shipping as per products & categories. This extension is handy to avoid free shipping for ordered products that are not eligible for free shipping.

The extension will work with all types of one-page (quick) checkouts. Free Shipping will work category wise & product wise.

Installing the extension for OpenCart 2x & 3x version

Important! if you download the All Files archive from OpenCart and try to upload it to your Extension Installer,
you will receive this error: Invalid file type! Please make sure you unzipped the main archive and are uploading the correct file to your OpenCart. Files and database backup is highly recommended If your OpenCart is not a fresh installation.

When you are ready to install a extension, you must first upload the extension files and then activate the extension itself. The extension files can be uploaded in this way:

Log in to your OpenCart Admin Dashboard and open the Extensions Extension Installer menu
Upload the es_freeshippingstatus.ocmod.zip from the Xml-Files > 3x-ocmod folder. If you are using 2x version then upload es_freeshippingstatus.ocmod.xml from the Xml-Files > 2x-ocmod folder.
