Offering Shipping Discounts within ZBS
Permalink Browser Info Environment
First, C5 eCommerce discount modules work differently to shipping modules. ZBS is a shipping module, so has limitations when it comes to doing discounts by itself. Nevertheless, you can do a lot within ZBS, but it could be less convenient to set up than with a discount module.

Example, "Free shipping on UK orders this week".
ZBS doesn't know about dates and times. So you can do it, but only by modifying the rules at the start of the week and changing them back again at the end of the week.

Example, "Free Shipping by Product".
Note: The 'Free Shipping by Product' addon is actually built as a shipping method (rather than a discount module), so it is unlikely you will be able to use the 'Free Shipping by Product' addon on the same cart as ZBS.
Free shipping by product within ZBS requires some lateral thinking. Here are some ideas for different ways to achieve it.
The difficult part is mixed carts, with some free shipping products and some priced shipping products. If you ship all products separately, then ZBS can calculate shipping by product or item instead of by cart (so the following ideas are simpler to create rules for)
(a) If shipping by weight, set the product weight to zero or use a shipping modifier (xM) of 0.00001 to set the modified weight to zero and have a ZBS rule that says zero shipping cost for cart weight below 0.01.
(b) Using the custom 'zone_shipping_measure' product attribute, set it to a value for the products that do not have free shipping and to 0 for free shipping products. Then use that attribute in the ZBS rules to effectively cut the shipping cost if the 'zone_shipping_measure' is below 1.

Hi John, I'm trying to 'free shipping' for orders over £30 (UK only), but I can't quite get my head 'round it...
Basically, each item has a cost of £1.49 for UK and £3 per item for overseas. There is no discount for overseas, but I want to do free delivery for UK orders over £30.
With the current configuration I have (see screenshot) the postage only calculates the free postage after £29.99, but still charges £1.49 for each item up to that amount.
I want the postage to be £0 for any orders over £30... where am I going wrong?
Cheers mate
Oh, and here is the rules export if that helps:

Can you re-post this as a new support request please. There are better ways to do it than the above with ZBS v2.0+.
You caught me about to go out. When you re-post, I would hope to get back and answer on that thread later tomorrow or on Monday.

For free shipping for a particular zone and/or cart value, you simply create ZBS rules that match that zone/cart value and set the shipping price to 0 with an appropriate ZBS delivery message.
Shipping cost rule:
Zone United Kingdom - ..weight rules etc.. - Cart value over £10 - Cost 0 - "Free shipping on UK orders over £10"
