How is it possible to set-up free shipping included for a coupon in the csv ?

Hi Guillaume,
Thanks for reaching out. You may create a new column header named free_shipping in your CSV. By entering ‘yes’ to respective coupons, you can enable free shipping for those coupons only. Kindly leave the cells blank if you do not want to allow free shipping.
