Coupon / Discount question

[midwest-aromas]

I am trying to run a "gifting promotion" this holiday season, where, when a customer purchases any 5 or more products within a category, they receive free shipping.

Any ideas how I can do this?

Last night, I setup a “$ off” coupon with the minimum amount spent rule being the price of 5x of the lowest price item in that category. 

It leaves some holes in the bucket, but I think that’s as close as I can get, yes?

Thanks for posting, @midwest-aromas 

You should be able to setup a Free Shipping coupon using the same order amount criteria. You will have to select the option that says "choose shipping method" in order to specify which shipping carrier the coupon will apply to.

Please let me know if you are not able to create the coupon, and I'll take a closer look.
