Can I create discounts that apply to shipping costs only?

I'm running an e-commerce store and want to incentivize customers by offering shipping discounts. I've heard about shipping-specific promotions but I'm unsure about the technical implementation. How can I create discounts that specifically target shipping costs without affecting product prices? I want to understand the different methods, best practices, and potential strategies for offering attractive shipping deals that can help increase my store's conversion rates.
