So, whenever you create a new product in Volusion's back office, the item defaults to Free Shipping. The little box in the Shipping section isn't checked by default, so you can't de-select it (to turn off the free shipping) until AFTER you've created the product. You have to remember to go back in to the newly created product and THEN you can un-check the Free Shipping option.
So, why not make Free Shipping on/off a site preference?
Oh, because that would make sense and would give the user more freedom to operate their store the way they wanted to (as opposed to the way Volusion wants you to operate your store).
Aah, just another day in paradise...

Having the box checked means its "ELIGIBLE" to receive free shipping, it doesn't mean it will ship for free...whats the problem here
ReplyDeleteTom, apparently you didn't read and follow the steps in the first paragraph of the post. If it were that simple, I doubt I'd be writing about it.
