Free Shipping Calculator For United States Only

[koryb1]

I added a Free Shipping Calculator on our shopping cart page awhile back and it's been successful. The script I am using is:

<td align="right"><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
free_limit = 100.00;
amount_left_tmp = free_limit - ss_subtotal;
amount_left = amount_left_tmp.toFixed(2);
if (amount_left > 0){document.write('U.S. Orders - Purchase $' + amount_left + ' more for FREE shipping!');}
</script>

We are now expanding our sales outside the U.S., so I'd like this feature to appear only if the Ship To country is the United States (and "disappear" if a different country is selected.

Is that an easy "If/Then" function?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

In ShopSite you can set the free shipping countries, and only allow free shipping to be available to specific countries. However, the code you mentioned is separate from the ShopSite shipping, so you would need to modify your code as well. You could put all of your javascript in an IF statement that checks the country pull down menu. For example, if (document.order.country.value == "US") {}

Hi Lauren, and thanks so much for the quick reply.

I do have the Free Shipping options available only for the U.S. But it's the coding part to make the calculator feature appear only for U.S. orders that I'm just not expert enough at. Would it be this:

if (document.order.country.value = "United States")
{
<td align="right"><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
free_limit = 100.00;
amount_left_tmp = free_limit - ss_subtotal;
amount_left = amount_left_tmp.toFixed(2);
if (amount_left > 0){document.write('U.S. Orders - Purchase $' + amount_left + ' more for FREE shipping!');}
</script>
}

That looks correct. I didn't test it, but it should be right.

That scripting wasn't working for me.

For the benefit of others who may see this and need ideas, the great folks at Lexiconn helped me with this and came up with the following which works perfectly (at least for my site):

<span id="free_limit"></span>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
free_limit = 100.00;
amount_left_tmp = free_limit - ss_subtotal;
amount_left = amount_left_tmp.toFixed(2);
if (amount_left > 0){
var free_limit_html = 'U.S. Orders - Purchase $' + amount_left + ' more for FREE shipping!';
var domestic_regex = /^US$|^PR$|^GU$|^VG$|^VI$/;
if(domestic_regex.test(document.order.country.value)){
document.getElementById("free_limit").innerHTML = free_limit_html;
} else{
document.getElementById("free_limit").innerHTML = "";
}
} else{
document.getElementById("free_limit").innerHTML = "";
}
</script>

If you're ever considering a new ShopSite host and are not already using Lexiconn, time and time again I am amazed at their outstanding service. I could not recommend them highly enough! Best ShopSite host out there!
