Discount on Shipping

[procheck]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to setup a discount only on shipping charges? This will be temporary for December so I don't want to touch my regular discounts.

Barring that I was able to put in a handling fee of -25% and this works fine. The problem is that when I receive an order and go into the shipping page, Actinic forces me to change it so it isn't a negative.

Does anyone know where the validation for this is?

Thanks in advance

The validation will be built into Actinic so I doubt if you can change this.

Is the discount site wide or specific to certain purchases? If site wide then you could always consider just using a lower shipping charge and naming it the 'Christmas Special'.

Hi Mike,
The discount is site wide but only against the shipping itself. I have many other discounts setup which are allowed with this discount. Doesn't adding a Christmas Shipping Special go against the product instead of the shipping? Plus I have many zones setup so that could be difficult.

I thought that the validations might be in a perl script. For a workaround I'm able to manually zero out the handling and add an adjustment of -25% but that's a bit of a pain.
