Restrict Zones from Free Shipping When Cart is Over $ Amount

Exclude specific zones from free shipping based on cart value conditions

Overview

One common scenario within ShipperHQ is to offer free shipping based on the order amount, except in a specific shipping zone. 😊

In this guide, we'll explore how to create a shipping rule that displays Free Shipping for UPS Ground when the shipping group "Free" is in the cart, and the order value exceeds $100. However, this promotion will not extend to Zone 02.

We will use UPS Ground for the Free Shipping method and three conditions in the rule creation: a Shipping Group, a Price Filter, and a Shipping Zone to exclude where Free Shipping is unavailable.
