Loyalty points can be redeemed as a "discount" or as "payment". In your Nexternal Order Management System (OMS) at Settings/Edit Site Options/Customer Loyalty, the "Apply Loyalty As" field allows you to choose at which point in an order's discount structure a loyalty redemption applies.
​
The Discount option applies a redemption after the Order Subtotal but before Sales Tax, much like Customer, Coupon, and Order Discounts.
​
The Payment option applies the redemption at the very end of the order, after Sales Tax and Shipping, thus effectively making it a payment, much like a Gift Certificate or Gift Card.
​
So, while loyalty points redeemed as payment will apply to shipping as well as products, they cannot be set up to apply only to shipping.
