In this example let's imagine you are an Air Conditioners and Air Filters merchant. One of the products you are selling is 'Air filter'. Let’s say you have a rule offering your customers to pick a FREE Shipping if the order amount is over $500, customer places his initial order buying Air Conditioner and subscribing to Air filters, the total order amount is $499.00 and the subscription is for $15.00 every month. Customer chooses FREE Shipping when placing the order, when the renewal takes place, the order is $15.00 and FREE shipping is no longer available with the default settings but you want to allow it for subscriptions.
