Zero Due = No Address Collection
Hey there! I've looked all over, but haven't found that this has been fixed yet - if it has, please point me to the source!
Use case - I run four virtual summits/year. They are free to register, but if I use fForms as the registration form, I don't have the quick upgrade/order bump option that I get in fCart, nor can I count conversions and affiliate referrals in any meaningful way.
Yeah, I'm sure there is a way for me to build out an event tracking automation thing in the background, but you know what would be super duper instead?
How about a Zero Balance/Free Item means that fCart removes the Billing and/or Shipping address from the checkout page? That address requirement adds way too much friction for a lead magnet (name + email address only).
So please, someone tell me I just missed a simple switch somewhere or that it is planned for the next fCart update in the very, very, very near future.
Please?
I wholeheartedly agree. People will simply not register for a free webinar if they have to fill in all their information. This is the default behavior for Woo.
Shahjahan Jewel - is there some dev code I missed somewhere that can fix this?
FluentCart currently doesn’t provide a built-in option to hide billing fields only when the checkout total is zero. Disabling them under the global Checkout Fields settings would also remove them from regular paid checkouts.
As a workaround, we’ve added a code snippet that conditionally hides the billing fields for zero-total checkouts while retaining them for paid orders:
Please test the snippet on a staging site first, particularly if the checkout uses paid order bumps that can change a free order into a paid one.
Amimul Ihsan Mahdi thanks for the workaround.
This is a super critical feature for our free webinars, free downloads, and other lead magnets that become paid after a certain window.
Amimul Ihsan Mahdi Thank you! This is EXACTLY what I need for the moment and will make a huge impact. Very thankful for your responsiveness!
Glad to hear this gives you what you need for now! We’d love to hear how it works with your free registration and paid upgrade flow.
