I can't see how to do that in the promo system. I can match a promo
by total $$ amount. I can't then give free
shipping(ProductPromoWorker references PROMO_FREE_SHIPPING, but that
isn't in the seed data). Even fixing that problem, I don't see a way
to change the list of available shipping methods for a product store.
Can anyone offer any pointers?
Set a minimum price on the ProductStoreShipmentMeth, set an
includeGeoId. That'll allow a shipping method to show up with an
appropriate name, saying it is free shipping.
I still don't know how to keep the user from being charged for
shipping. We'd like the shipping charge to show up as a separate line
item in the accounting system, I just don't want the user to be
charged for it. Maybe an OrderAdjustment that negates the shipping
charge, but I don't see how to do that.
It looks like you found it. Yes, there used to be a promo rule action for free shipping, but it stopped working after a
ShoppingCart refactor a LONG time ago and was never fixed because the shipping price calculation tends to do most of what people
want, or I guess is good enough...

I thought there has been a replacement for the promo rule action for free shipping (in trunk - only? - some months ago while the
promo stuff has been refactored) and that now it worked again. May someone confirm?
