WooCommerce use shortcode in flat rate shipping class costs

In WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping > Shipping Zones > (the shipping zone) > flat rate, there are the inputs where you can put in custom shipping costs for shipping classes. In here, we can already use [qty] to finetune the results. Is there a way we can customize this to allow for custom shortcodes?

Say for example:

[qty] * 5 * [jwd_free_shipping_a]

Where jwd_free_shipping_a is a shortcode that checks to see if the entire pre-tax total of the cart is greater than, say, $100. If yes, it returns 0 (which would make it free shipping for this item in the above calculation), otherwise is returns 1.

Oops, silly me, it looks like you already can use shortcodes there!

This is very helpful for setting up custom shipping rules!

Note: You can also pass [cost] in as a shortcode parameter, which returns the cost of the item in the cart, not the entire cost of the cart.

In my case, I ended up creating the shortcode as follows. Returning either a 1 or 0 helps me to potentially return free shipping based on a math equation I use (not the same one in the original post, but somewhat similar). I haven't seen any mention of this tactic in my search of Stack Overflow, so I'll leave this here as a reference.

add_shortcode('jwd_custom_shipping_a', 'jwd_custom_shipping_a_shortcode');

function jwd_custom_shipping_a_shortcode() {
  $return = 1;
  $cart_subtotal = WC()->cart->subtotal;

  if ($cart_subtotal > 89) {
    $return = 0;
  }

  return $return;
}
