[4.x]: Free orders are missing shipping

[stillhartkonzept]

What happened?

Description

As soon as I set a product to cost $0, checkout skips the shipping step. But we need to have customers pay for shipping. If i change the cost of the product to 0.1, shipping comes back.

Steps to reproduce

1. create a product
2. set up shipping methods and categories, choose category for product
3. set product to 0
4. shipping is skipped

Expected behavior

shipping should still be added to products that don't cost anything.

Actual behavior

Shipping is skipped, so customers pay nothing.

PT-2162 [4.x]: Free orders are missing shipping

[lukeholder]

@stillhartkonzept I cant seem to reproduce this. The free order is still showing the shipping method option and I can apply the choice to the cart and see it in the example templates:

Do you shipping rules have a Minimum Total Order Value condition maybe?

[stillhartkonzept]

thanks @lukeholder . No, I don't have a minimum total order value.

I think it's odd that the shop bypasses the URL "/shop/checkout/shipping" and redirects to "/shop/checkout/payment". As soon as i change the product price to CHF 0.50 (for example), this no longer happens.
Here's the video with price CHF 0.00

Very possible there's some other setting i missed. In particular I didn't understand the setting "Free Order Payment Strategy". Presumably an order is not "free" if it costs 0.00 but has shipping costs, right? In any case, I tried out many settings but I haven't found the right combination.

thanks for your help.
