Still calculating flat rate when free shipping is applied

  • Hello, I am having some troubles setting up a unique free shipping condition.

    The goal is to have my client’s coupon: giveaway16, apply free shipping to her T-shirt item only, and only with the purchase of her planner on her site. Those are currently the only two items published.

    The flat rate shipping cost for the shirt is $10 and for the planner, $7.50. With free shipping on the shirt, the shipping cost for both items should be $7.50. But even going through Woocommerce’s step by step Free shipping set up, it is still calculating the shipping cost of the shirt into the cost / subtotal, at $17.50.

    The temporary solution is applying the cost of the shirt shipping into the coupon (minus $10) so that it subtracts from the subtotal at checkout.

    Here’s everything we have tried so far that still results in the $17.50, or results in the $7.50 but does not adhere the campaign goal / rules:

    • Used Woocommerce’s basic step by step instructions of adding Free Shipping, by creating the shipping option to each applicable shipping zone, then creating a coupon (giveaway16) that applies it to your cart. The coupon has a minimum spend requirement of $26, which is the cost of the planner.
    • Changed the shipping class of the shirts to no shipping class. But this removes the shipping cost altogether, and client wishes for it to only be removed with purchase of planner.
    • With more complicated conditions, I installed the Advanced Free Shipping plugin. I made the condition that the planner must be in the cart for the free shipping to apply. I also tried it a second time by adding an additional condition of the subtotal being at least $26. Please see screenshot.
    • Looking through the Woocommerce shipping settings for a way to disable the flat rate or shipping class rates based on certain conditions.
    • Selecting various shipping methods for each product as I have Woocommerce Shipping Gateway installed as well in order to select multiple shipping options for each product. For the shirt I have tried only Free shipping via Woocommerce’s default, the Giveaway free shipping I created with this plugin, and tried both.

      • I’m sure I’m overlooking something simple and would appreciate any feedback. If I’ve forgotten any details or more screenshots are needed to asses the situation, please let me know.

      Thanks! ??

    Hi Ema,

    Apologies for not replying earlier, some notification emails go MIA for me ??

    This plugin doesn’t allow free shipping for a specific product on itself, through it may be accomplished with some custom code. I’ve written about giving free shipping to partial orders here: https://jeroensormani.com/apply-free-shipping-for-specific-products-in-woocommerce/

    Another option would be to use my other plugin Advanced Shipping which will allow you to setup shipping cost based on conditions, and then you can setup a separate shipping option for the situation where someone orders the planner with the coupon code (or without coupon if wanted)

    Hope that all makes sense ??

    Cheers,
    Jeroen
