AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Free Shipping Excluder for WooCommerce is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Nagesh Pai — established developer track record
Cons
- −Limited review base (2) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

How Free Shipping Excluder for WooCommerce works
Show full descriptionShow less
Free Shipping Excluder for WooCommerce gives you granular control over how products affect your free shipping eligibility. You can exclude individual products or entire categories from counting towards your free shipping minimum amount, or completely disable free shipping for the entire order if a specific product is added to the cart. This is perfect for stores that sell items like gift cards, services, promotional products, or heavy/bulky items that shouldn’t qualify for free shipping.
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
Disable free shipping entirely – Completely disable free shipping for the entire order if a specific product is in the cart, regardless of order total
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 if any product in the cart has “Disable free shipping if in cart” enabled. If so, free shipping is immediately disabled for the entire order.
2. Checking each product for exclusion settings (both product-level and category-level)
3. Summing only the eligible products’ costs
4. 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
Prevent free shipping entirely for bulky, heavy, or high-shipping-cost items
Exclude promotional items or samples
Exclude low-margin products
Exclude entire categories like “Accessories” or “Downloads”
