    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone can help me. My shipping is set to calculate shipping based on quantity (so 90 cents per item).
    I have a lot of items that have free shipping.
    What do I need to do to indicate which items should have no shipping calculated?
    I tried to set the Units to Zero for the items with free shipping, like this:
    <input type="hidden" name="units1" value="0">
    But it's still adding shipping in the shopping cart. Please help!! Thanks in advance!

    You need to add a units value to ALL products, those with 90 cents units=0.9 and those with no charge units=0

    Then use option 7 in shipping setup.

    Let us know if it works for you.

    Having trouble with a form or need one building?
    Fast turnaround, but I do charge :)

    Mal's Forms / Scripts and the syntax are here.

    GT, thanks so much for your help!
    I think I got it to work. I ended up using Option 5 in shipping set-up. Then down in the Units table, I indicated that it's 90 cents for each unit.
    In my code, I set the units to 0 for the free-shipping items, and units to 1 to the "regular" items. This seems to have did it.

    That's fine. It was either .9 for the UNITS and 1 for the COST multiplier or 1 for the UNITS and .9 as the multiplier.
