Hi @CarloB If you are still looking for a solution to this you can try using the Discount Depot App, which offers Shipping discounts based on the Products/collections/tags attributes.
Let me know if you find the app suitable as per your requirment.
Topic summary
Goal: Offer free shipping over €40 but exclude certain products, ideally by auto-assigning items to a delivery/shipping profile based on attributes (type/collection/tag/metafields), without coding.
Capabilities and limits:
- Shopify shipping profiles can group products and set different rates per profile. They do not support automatic, rule-based assignment of products to profiles by attributes, nor excluding items from a free-shipping threshold by attribute within native settings.
- One reply suggested creating separate profiles manually; another clarified the above limitation.
Workarounds proposed:
- Weight-based trick: set free shipping conditions by weight and give excluded products higher weights. Trade-off: may distort real weights/pricing logic.
- Apps: Tools like “Free Shipping Manager,” “Free Shipping by Discount,” and “Discount Depot” can apply shipping discounts/rules and exclude products or collections via tags/attributes. May require paid plans. A screenshot of an app configuration was shared.
Status/outcome:
- No native automatic rule to assign products to shipping profiles by attributes. Viable paths are manual assignment, a weight workaround, or third‑party apps. Discussion remains open without a built-in solution.
