2. select default ( or you can create your own attribute set).

Hello, I tried these, but not working. Is it because I have other shipping methods enabled?

Hi Cherry,

I can't seem to find Select 'Free shipping' in step 4. I can only check Attribute set or Catergory under the Product attribute category in the dropdown.

I managed to do all the other steps. When I try to create a new "Free shipping" attribute set, I don't know how to put the specific products in this set?
If I set the "Default" attribute set in the shipping cart rule, all the products get free shipping.

I guess I missed a step? Can't seem to figure out which one I missed.

For newer Magento versions:
In step 1 please check the dropdown Set Use for Promo Rule Conditions to: Yes (under front-end).

hi, it is working if I checkout with product which has free shipping attribute is set to yes. Does it work if I checkout with both Yes and No freeshipping attribute products?
