Dear HIkashop,

I have an free product my customer can order.

But when you go to checkout at payment page, no payment is shown when ordering just the free product.
I tried creating a payment method with restrictions (€ 0,-) but with no succes.

It seems logical that you dont see a payment method ordering a free product, maar i dont want my customers to see an
empty page with a continue button. I would like to have a sentence like: no payment needed.

I could use a custom field to explain this to the customer, but the custom field is already taken for other purposses at checkout. And as far
as i know, you can only use 1 custom field at checkout.

When I set the free product to 1 euro (as a test), it work fine.

I tried this page, www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/i...ins-listing.html#faq
But that seems to be alright.

Can you help me out?

Hi,

When the order total is "0" ; there is no need of payment method, because there is nothing to pay.

Hi,

If you want to add that text ; you can create a view override for the view "checkout | payment" and replace at the end of the file

	</fieldset>
</div>
<?php
	}
}

Into

	</fieldset>
</div>
<?php
	}
} else {
  echo JText::_('NO_PAYMENT_NEEDED');
}

And create a translation override for the key "NO_PAYMENT_NEEDED".
You can if you want, display the text in a span or in a div ; if you want to customize the display to have a better look.

Dear Jerome,

Thanks for you reply.

But your solution will always show the text at the payment page?

We sell more products, and just 1 is free. So it has to be dynamic.

The text should be shown only if a customer orders a free products, not all the time

I tried your solution, and it works like charm!!
Many thanks!

Thanks in advance
