I would like to know if it is possible to enable free shipping with Woo Commerce only if certain items (or items of certain categories / shipping classes) are included in the cart.
The Free Shipping option only activates on the basis of cart value or via a coupon code so I investigated Flat Rate shipping and discovered that it prioritises the most expensive shipping class over the cheaper ones. This means the free shipping class I created never overrides the default charge.
I understand the logic behind this but it’s the opposite of what I need as the idea is to incentivise purchases of higher profit margin products by eliminating delivery charges when they’re included in an order.
I don’t know if what I am trying to achieve is simply not possible within Woo Commerce. A coupon that only applies to certain products / categories seems to be the closest I can get but I’d rather not force users to enter a code at checkout.
Does anybody know if there any simpler ways to give users who purchase certain products free shipping?

Perhaps this doesn’t fully answer your question, but the table rate shipping plugin does give you the option to set a priority for a particular rate. Furthermore, this discussion gives a lot of hints as to where you could look for solutions
