How to make delivery free, if a customer buys more than three products, or orders over 50 USD? How to set these limits? I mean if they buy less than three or 50 USD, they have to pay for delivery as usual. Is it possible to add these modifications for a lame coder like me? Thanks!

Why don't you specify a new Carrier with name "Free delivery (more than 3 products or order value > 50 USD)" and set all delivery fees for that carrier anulled. Modify some CSS in default.css so that the long name of the carrier doesn't break the design. Or use <font> tag in the free carrier name to make the characters in the parenthesis small.

This is really the easiest way to do it. Customers usually find out really quickly that they can select something like delivery for free. You can also tell them to select the free delivery option on order form page, you can edit it in the administration under pages>hidden page>order form.

I like your webshop, it's a pretty webshop with pretty products.

unfortunately, you'd have to specify that for all carriers, that means you'd have a set of carrier options for orders with value < 50 USD and a set of 'free' carriers for orders > 50 USD. Essentially doubling your carriers. That's how my brother did it.

Edit 'maxlength' value in the templates/admin/carriers.tpl file to allow for more characters in the carrier name.

beholder - thank you, I think I'm gonna try it this way...

But if one would like to come up with an easy-use plugin, I would appreciate it too :)

Hello FoTam74, I really got ahead with my knowledge of QC, so I think this could interest you:

I have finished 3 plugins for quickcart 3.0:
+ the Dual Pricing plugin displays 2 prices everywhere (VAT or whole price + VAT could be one of those)
+ the USA Tax Rates plugin adds american tax system to the whole QC 3.0 e-shop along with tax field in the order form/summary
+ and the Free Delivery plugin, where the delivery is free when the order value exceeds some pre-set value.

From preliminary research I confirm that I would be able to put all this together for some, if not all functionality you require. This would however require additional coding and testing so if you're interested, I could do it for you for a relatively small fee. Please write to address displayed on this page to contact me, so we can arrange the deal: http://www.nlp.sk/antispam/
