There's no simple or direct way to create a coupon just for Free Shipping.
There's a choice for a set amount coupon or a percentage off, either a flat
percent off the total order or over certain amounts with the ability to set a
max discount and the ability to limit the discount to certain types of items.

I'd like to be able to create free shipping coupons, also with limits like
we have for the percentage coupon, such as limiting the free shipping to minifigs
only, or a new feature, being able to exclude certain items, such as sets.

It would also help if the existing "limit discount to" wasn't limited to
1 category.

Thanks!

why not just invoice without a shipping cost?

I'm thinking because the coupon would be the incentive given in thoughtful
and limited quantities for particular reasons; not a blanket offer to all of
Bricklinkdom.

Exactly.

There are lots of work-arounds, but a true "Free Shipping" coupon would be great.
Hence the Suggestion...

Agreed on all counts.

Meanwhile, I'm not sure... if a coupon isn't completely used up by the
order, does the balance get applied against shipping or fees, or does it just
disappear?

Have found myself needing this quite a few times. YES, please.
