HI,

We used this line to alllocate free shipping to a specified manufacturer.

Name=Free Postage; Condition=issubset(Manufacturers, list(42)); Shipping=0

This worked perfectly, is there a way that I can do exactly the same, but with "Category" instead of Manufacturer, so that all products in a certain category can get free postage.

Is it possible too have both lines of rules running seperately, or should it all be integrated into one rule?

Of course you can do exactly the same with the Category list...

To combine category- and manufacturer based shipping is a bit trickier, as it depends on the details. In particular, it is currently NOT possible to have e.g. free shipping if all products are either from manufacturer X or in category Y. In particular, you only have the list of all manufacturers and of all categories in the cart available, but without the information from which product.

Take two examples:

Order 1:
- 1 item of product A (manufacturer X, category Y)
- 1 item of product B (manufacturer MM, category CC)
=> the cart has the following variables: Manufacturers==list(X, MM), Categories==list(Y, CC)
This cart should not have free shipping (product B is neither from manufacturer X, nor in category Y)

Order 2:
- 1 item of product C (manufacturer X, category CC)
- 1 item of product D (manufacturer MM, category Y)
=> the cart has the following variables: Manufacturers==list(X, MM), Categories==list(Y, CC)
This cart should have free shipping (both products are either manufacturer X or category Y).

As you can see, both orders have the exact same Manufacturers and Categories lists, but one should get free shipping, while the other shouldn't.

Solving this would require the plugin to have per-product check, which is currently not implemented...

Best regards,
Reinhold
