Free Shipping for a certain category and weight based shipping

I want to set up free shipping for all shoes delivered within the US. If an order contains shoes and something else, the entire order should ship free.
Otherwise, it should use shipping by weight or free shipping in us if the order is over $75.

Hi,

Thanks for contacting and purchasing xshippingpro.

After summarizing your requirements, I understood followings:

1. Shipping is free within US if order contains shoes and any other items.
2. If order total is less than $75, Shipping cost will be weight based
3. If order is total is greater than $75, Shipping is free

You did not tell about shipping outside of US. Anyway, for achieving above scenarios you need three shipping methods to be created.

Also since both item1 and item3 might be appeared at a time and both are free shipping methods, so it would not be good thing if two free shipping methods appears together. For fixing this issue, we will use group mode option. So please navigate to Xshippingpro -> Global Setting -> Group Option. Then Select Group1 is Highest.

Now lets create shipping methods

Shipping methods with shoes category:
1. Create a new method and provide a name
2. In General Setting tab, Select Group is Group1
3. In Product/Category tab, Select Category rule is “Any of the selected categories with others”. Then choose your Shoes categories.
4. In Price setting tab, Select the Shipping By to Flat. Now enter Price 0

Weight Based Shipping
1. Create another method and provide a name
2. In General Setting tab, Select Group is Group1
3. In Price setting tab, Select the Shipping By to Weight. Now enter Weight ranges (Unit Ranges) as your required. For example:

Start      End        Cost           Per Unit Block         Allow Partial
0               10           5                        0                                NO
10             20          10                      0                                NO

4. In Other tab, Enter Order Total Range 0 to 74

Total Based Shipping
1. Create another method and provide a name
2. In General Setting tab, Select Group is Group1
3. In Price setting tab, Select the Shipping By to Total. Now enter following unit ranges

Start           End           Cost Per Unit          Block Allow        Partial
75              9999999            0                               0                         NO
Thanks
