Highlighted Features

  • Admin Panel Integration with Easy Selection

    The extension integrates seamlessly with the Magento 2 admin panel, allowing store administrators to easily select and apply the free shipping option during the process of order creation or modification. This feature streamlines the workflow for admins, making it quick and straightforward to offer free shipping without the need for additional configurations.

  • Selective Application for Specific Orders

    Free shipping can be selectively applied to individual orders placed through the admin panel. This ensures that the free shipping option is not available to customers making purchases through the storefront, maintaining the integrity of regular shipping policies and promotions.

  • Seamless Compatibility with Other Shipping Methods

    The extension is designed to work harmoniously alongside other existing shipping methods in Magento 2. This compatibility ensures that the admin's ability to offer free shipping does not interfere with or replace the standard shipping options available to customers, allowing for a versatile shipping strategy.

  • Customizable Conditions and Rules

    Store administrators can define specific rules or conditions under which the free shipping option can be applied. This can include criteria such as a minimum order value, specific product categories, customer groups, or promotional scenarios. These rules ensure that free shipping is offered strategically, in alignment with the store's business policies.
