| The cost is deemed as 0 for the purpose of basket calculation and shipping is annotated with "#OFFLINE#" promotion tag on shipping price. This tag is then used to hide elements from the checkout screens and email templates. In Admin the shipping cost are also hidden to denote that they are not parts of the order calculation. This method should be used when calculation of the shipping cost has complex logistics e.g. base rate within city + additional price per km beyond the city borders and in addition to this weight and volume implications |

| For free shipping as promotion we recommend using "Fixed" SLA type and then specify 100% discount promotion for order value greater than zero. This will provide additional promotional messaging to encourage the customer. |
