Oh, one caveat I just realized. If you are using the method above to auto-invoke a Cart Discount for 100% off shipping, that would apply to ALL products that buyer has added to their cart. E.g., if your buyer adds one of the 3 free-shipping items with the discount_code appended to their button URL, and also adds a regular-shipping item to their cart, the discount code will make all shipping free. I can think of one way around this:

On the page with your free-shipping items, use the non-JavaScript version of our Add to Cart and View Cart buttons for those products. This would open the cart in a popup window/tab on that page (instead of our usual fade-in cart overlay screen), but the popup cart sets a separate cart-tracking cookie from the overlay cart, so the two cart modes cannot share contents; thus, the 3 free-shipping items would get added to a separate (popup) cart from anything else (in an overlay cart).

IF you are using order-amount based shipping (where you set a maximum Handling charge and discount that based on the order total), then there is no way to allow Free Shipping on specific items. HOWEVER, if you create a Cart Discount having a discount code for 100% off shipping, then you can add that discount code to an Add to Cart button URL with &discount_code=YOUR-CODE-HERE -- e.g., if your Add to Cart code looks like this:

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=XXXXXX&cl=YYYYY&ejc=2" target="ej_ejc" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" onClick="javascript:return EJEJC_lc(this);">http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ej_add_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart"/>

...then adding the extra URL parameter to auto-apply a discount code would look like this:

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=XXXXXX&cl=YYYYY&ejc=2&discount_code=YOUR-CODE-HERE" target="ej_ejc" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" onClick="javascript:return EJEJC_lc(this);">http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ej_add_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart"/>

HELP...I've got about 40 individual products for sale on my websites. 37 of them are based on the order amount based shipping (an idea which I got from the E-junkie setting up shipping suggestions). That seems to work great, but...I've got the last 3 products that I want to offer free shipping on. I can't really figure out how to got about that. I tried assigning a free shipping discount code to them, but that only works if the customer buys one item. If they buy 2 of the same, no shipping fee item, then the shipping cost discount is credited twice, which really cheats me of money. For your info (maybe this will make things easier): I have 2 websites, but only one E-junkie account. My one site has the 37 items that are set up for order amount based shipping. My other site has the 3 items that I'm trying to do free shipping on. Is there a way to set free shipping always on individual items on my product list in Seller Admin. Please help; thank you.
