Free Shipping Method not showing in backend

[tigerx7]

When creating an order in the backend, the Free Shipping Method is not showing up as an available option.

Steps to Reproduce

In the Default Config store view configuration, enable "Free Shipping" method, set minimum order amount to $79. For comparison purposes, enable "Flat Rate" shipping method with a per item $5 value. Refresh cache and then go to Sales -> Orders, select Customer (or new Customer). Select a product with a subtotal value of $100. Enter a valid address and then click on "Get shipping methods and rates". Only the fixed rate is returned, there's no "Free Shipping" option.

Now if we do the same thing through the frontend, add the $100 product to the cart and retrieve rates via "Estimate Shipping" or "Checkout", it will show both "Free Shipping" and "Flat Rate".

Troubleshooting

In the core_config_data, both freeshipping and flatrate have scope = default, scope_id = 0 for their values and both are active. Both also have sallowspecific set to 0 and specificcountry is NULL. I also attempted trying to set a specific country, and same result. I'm not exactly sure what's happening.

Just came by this today but may be related to this issue. Looks like promotional cart price rules are not being run for admin orders.

Created a new cart price rule, "Free Shipping". For websites, selected the only one available "Main Website", and all customer groups. Coupon: "No Coupon". Conditions: "Subtotal equals or greater than 99"; Actions: "Free Shipping: For matching items only".

On the website, cart price rule is executing for orders $99+ and the free shipping option is shown. However, when creating the same order in admin, the free shipping option is not shown.

Hi @NadiyaS,

is there any update about this?
I'm using M2.0.4 and 2.0.7 and facing the same issue.
Right now we're using discount coupons in the backend to provide free shipping through admin/backend orders.

Additionally I recognized, that "Subtotal" within a cart price rule (free shipping from 35€ an above) is calculated excluding tax. What about carts with mixed products (low- and high- taxed products).
In this case I'm not able to provide a subtotal value excl. tax. I tried to provide free shipping as rule to customers buying products for more than 35€ incl. tax (German Store)
I would need the subtotal value including tax as rule option to apply the rule for carts with mixed taxes.

Thank you!

I am using Magento ver. 2.1.2 facing the same issue, free shipping is not showing up for backend orders i have multiple stores.

This is still a problem @SerhiyShkolyarenko, in Magento\Quote\Model\Quote\Address::requestShippingRates() the call to $this->getBaseSubtotalTotalInclTax() returns null when placing an order via the admin.
