Free Shipping Kit

Description

This plugin was designed to address the inability of similar free shipping plugins, to assign a free shipping badge at the product level.

There are several existing options for assigning free shipping based on the cart subtotal, but I wanted a convenient way to integrate a free shipping badge with a simple flat-rate based free shipping class. This is similar to the free shipping options available in marketplaces like Etsy where the shipping costs are factored into the price of the item. This also works well for lightweight items, where the shipping cost is less significant.

This plugin allows a user to do the following:

  • Configure a “Free Shipping” badge for display in WooCommerce product category and detail pages
  • Optionally hide other “paid” shipping methods in cart or checkout pages whenever free shipping is available
  • Adjust text shown for a flat-rate based “Free Shipping” method in cart or checkout pages

  5. Navigate to the “Shipping” tab of any product and enable the “Free Shipping badge”
  6. Be sure to configure a “Free shipping” class and shipping zones
  7. Assign the newly created “Free shipping” class to all intended products
  8. **The base shipping cost must be zero as well as the shipping class cost for free shipping to function correctly

FAQ

Can the styles for the FREE shipping badge be overridden

Yes, please feel free (pun intended?) to override the .free-shipping class in a custom stylesheet or via the “Additional CSS” section of the appearance editor.

What if my cart contains products that have both free and non-free shipping

The shipping cost will be greater than zero and the “Free shipping” label is not displayed.

Is WooCommerce Flat Rate shipping required to use this plugin

Although many of the features do apply to the use of flat rate free shipping, it is possible to display the badge for any product that you’d like. Only the adjustments to the cart pages are specific to flat rate shipping at this time.
