Prestashop: Remove Default Shipping Fee Being Added To Total Price at Shopping Cart

If you've been developing e-commerce websites with Prestashop, one main problem that has not been solved in the latest release (Prestashop 1.1) is that the default shipping is immediately added when checking out at the shopping cart. This poses a problem when there are more than one option for shipping methods, and their prices differ from one another. Here is a very simple hack to prevent the default shipping fee from being added to the total price at the Shopping Cart summary page without the need to modify any code:


  1. Log into your back office, then go to Shipping tab

  2. Choose Carriers at the options below the tabs

  3. Click Add New

  4. On the Company field, put a name (for this case we'll use "Shipping Hack"), fill in the Transit time field, and make sure the Status is set to the green check, then click Save.

  5. You should go back to the Carriers page. At the Carrier options, choose "Shipping Hack" (or whatever name you gave to the newly created carrier) as default carrier, and click Save.

  6. Click again on the Shipping tab

  7. At the Fees field, select "Shipping Hack"

  8. At the Handling field, Set "Handling charges" and both "Free shipping starts at" fields to 0 (zero), then click Save

  9. Click Carriers again

  10. Click on "Shipping Hack" and set the Status to the red X, then Save

  11. Once you go back again to the Carriers page remember NOT TO click Save again on the Carrier options field


If you do this correctly, no shipping price would be added to the Shopping Cart Summary page in Prestashop until the customer chooses a carrier at the Shipping stage of payment.

    Thanks for the a new challenge you have uncovered in your post. One thing I would like to touch upon is that FSBO human relationships are built eventually. By releasing yourself to the owners the first saturday their FSBO is actually announced, prior to masses get started calling on Friday, you produce a good connection. By mailing them instruments, educational components, free reports, and forms, you become an ally. By using a personal affinity for them as well as their circumstance, you develop a solid network that, in many cases, pays off in the event the owners opt with a realtor they know in addition to trust preferably you actually.

    Random question: I know you are using Wordpress for this blog, but have you tried any other platforms? I am trying to decide whether to use Wordpress or BlogEngine and I ask because I like yours.
