Free Shipping Excluder for WooCommerce gives you granular control over which products count towards your free shipping minimum amount. This is perfect for stores that sell items like gift cards, services, promotional products, or any items that shouldn’t contribute to free shipping eligibility.

Features

  • Product-level exclusion – Exclude individual products from free shipping calculations via a simple checkbox in the product shipping settings
  • Category-level exclusion – Exclude entire product categories, automatically applying the exclusion to all products within those categories
  • Flexible control – Use either method or both together to match your specific business needs
  • Seamless integration – Works with WooCommerce’s native free shipping method
  • No configuration complexity – Simple checkboxes, no complicated settings

How It Works

When a customer adds items to their cart, the plugin calculates the free shipping eligibility by:
1. Checking each product for exclusion settings (both product-level and category-level)
2. Summing only the eligible products’ costs
3. Comparing the total against your free shipping threshold

Excluded products can still be purchased and shipped – they just don’t count towards the minimum amount needed for free shipping.

Use Cases

  • Exclude gift cards from free shipping calculations
  • Exclude digital products or services
  • Exclude promotional items or samples
  • Exclude low-margin products
  • Exclude entire categories like “Accessories” or “Downloads”
