FREE Shipping based on Order Total - Method 3

  // RealCartUniversity FREE Shipping if order is
  // over $100.00 added following 8 lines
  // This changes first shipping method only!

  if((nOrderTtl >= 100) && (nIndex == 0))   // 1st method only
  {
    nShipCharge = 0.00;
    return nShipCharge;
  }

  // end RealCartUniversity FREE shipping routine #2.



This time we are going to use two if statements to achieve our FREE shipping structure. To force RealCart to make only the default method of shipping FREE for orders $100 or more but less than $200 AND force RealCart to make both the default and the second method of shipping FREE for orders that total $200 or more.

The original modification is shown below in navy while the new version of the if statement is shown in bright blue.

function GetShippingCharge(nIndex)
{
  // RealCartUniversity FREE Shipping if order is
  // over $100.00 added following 8 lines
  // This changes first shipping method only!

  if((nOrderTtl >= 100) && (nIndex == 0))   // 1st method only
  {
    nShipCharge = 0.00;
    return nShipCharge;
  }

  // end RealCartUniversity FREE shipping routine #2.

  // make a copy so value doesn't change in calling function.
  var nIdx = nIndex;

  // Assign values of selected shipType object to
  // variable for easier readability.
  var nID = shipOption[nIndex].ID;
  var nType = shipOption[nIndex].Type;
  var nShipCharge = 0;
  var nMatchVal = 0;
  var bFound = false;
  var nLastIndex = -1;

Here is the new code that achieves the dual levels of FREE shipping:

function GetShippingCharge(nIndex)
{
  // RealCartUniversity FREE Shipping if order is
  // over $100.00 or $200.00 added following 15 lines
  // This changes both shipping methods independently!

  if((nOrderTtl >= 200) && (nIndex ==1)) // 2nd method only
  {
    nShipCharge = 0.00;
    return nShipCharge;
  }
  else
  if((nOrderTtl >= 100) && (nIndex ==0)) // 1st method only
  {
    nShipCharge = 0.00;
    return nShipCharge;
  }

  // end RealCartUniversity FREE shipping routine #3.

  // make a copy so value doesn't change in calling function.
  var nIdx = nIndex;

  // Assign values of selected shipType object to
  // variable for easier readability.
  var nID = shipOption[nIndex].ID;
  var nType = shipOption[nIndex].Type;
  var nShipCharge = 0;
  var nMatchVal = 0;
  var bFound = false;
  var nLastIndex = -1;
