Just logging this here as I had a coupon request from a client that currently isn't possible.
"Can I setup a coupon that gives a percentage discount AND free shipping?"
Answer: Not currently
You can set free shipping as a site wide option, or as a discount type for a coupon.
But when setting up a coupon you cannot choose to do free shipping and a percentage discount as the Discount Type is a single option.
To resolve this I would suggest that Discount Type should give options for "Fixed Amount" and Percentage" and "Free Shipping" is a separate checkbox option so you can do a combination of both.
