Aw: Need shipping free
Of course I could change a text but that's just the half work because
my settings in OPTIONS > SHIPPINGCOSTS
do not overrule
my settings in SETTINGS > CHECKOUT
-------------------------
example how it could work:
I have a shipping cost entry DPD enabled just for Austria with shipping € 6,- for all categories and free shipping from €65,- for all categories enabled
I have a shipping cost entry HERMES enabled just for GERMANY with shipping € 12,- for all categories and no free shipping value.
then I would set free shipping in SETTINGS > CHECKOUT to € 65,- (corresponding to 'DPD Austria' shipping settings)
My message would then be "If you are a customer from Austria, you're just € xx,- away from free shipping.
When checkout happens you're registered or logged in already.
So if you're from Austria the message was true and if your order was above 65,- it's free shipping.
If you're from Germany it was also true because the it costs €12,- as you're not from Austria.
-------------------------
So one could bypass the missing variables at this early stage of ordering and provide a kind of diplomatic and sales increasing message.
In my layman's view, it should only be a query during the ordering process, which, if a shipping price add-on is present, prioritizes the value entered there. I suspect that both variables/values coexist in checkout phase. However, the entry in the shop settings currently takes precedence.
