Free Shipping Excluder for WooCommerce vs WPC Free Shipping Bar for WooCommerce

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” Contribution You are welcome to contribute to this free and open source extension: Source Code: https://github.com/nagpai/free-shipping-excluder Report Issues / Wishlists: https://github.com/nagpai/free-shipping-excluder/issues Support Use the Dedicated WP.org Support Forum Contact the plugin author Like this plugin?

The WPC Free Shipping Bar plugin is a small improvement for your cart and cart notice. This is a solution to prevent the familiar scenario happens again and again on your site: Customers cancel their order just before the checkout step because of the little extra shipping fee. Encourage your customers to increase their order value to reach the free shipping threshold will help decrease the abandonment rate significantly. It’s also good for upselling products in your store. Customers tend to navigate back and add more items to reach the free shipping threshold rather than abandoning their cart if you just add one small bar to tell them how close they are to get the free shipping. It’s a common psychology thing in shoppers: say Yes to a $270 with free shipping rather than a $250 order with a $20 extra shipping fee. Consumers often think that they can get something in return for the amount they will pay for the shipping fee. This ends up that buyers adding more items to their order than their original intentions. That’s how it can help increase the average order value for your online store.
