Free Shipping in Specific Categories?

Is there a way to give free shipping on products only in certain categories? Is there a module that makes it easy to turn this on/off?

You could mark the Products as Always Free Shipping YES and then they are Free Shipping to everyone ...

Or you could add the weight as 0.00 and then there is no charge for USPS or UPS etc.

Make sure you are configured for 0 weight means Free Shipping and install the Free Shipping freeshipper shipping module for when only Free Shipping products are in the shopping cart ...

I was looking for this also. Will it matter if they add some items with a shipping fee, and some without to the cart? I'm guessing not as long as I leave the shipping weight to 0 on those specific items right?

This threw me:> Warning: This product is marked - Free Shipping, Shipping Address Required

Free Shipping Module is required when all products in the order are Always Free Shipping Products

If a Product is 0 weight or marked as Always Free Shipping, regardless of the shipping ... by Weight or Item Count or Price ... the default shipping modules know how to manage this, as do most other shipping modules built from them ...
