Setting up Free Shipping

There are multiple ways to offer Free Shipping to your customers but by far the easiest to set up is the Free Shipping method which exists just for this purpose. This will offer Free Shipping as an option as long as the customer has over the specified order total in their cart and is shipping to an allowed country.

📘
Please note that if you want to do free shipping by weight or number of items ordered, you will need to enter it as a Table Rate.

Configure Free Shipping Settings

In your Control Panel, hover over Set-up and click Shipping.

Click Configure to set up your free shipping options.

Fill in the fields:


Enabled	Is this being offered? Yes will offer this option to all applicable customers during checkout
Title Name	We recommend labeling this Free Shipping and shown how a carrier's name such as USPS or FedEx would be shown
Method Name	This gives the customer a little more information about the shipping option. You may want to note how this item will be shipped such as Ground or Standard 3 Day
Minimum Order Amount	How much will the customer need to purchase before they are given this option? In the example, any order over $100 is eligible for free shipping. Enter the amount as a simple number, without currency symbols
Displayed Error Message	If a customer selects this and is not eligible, what error will they receive?
Ship to Applicable / Specific Countries	Select which countries are eligible. You can select multiple countries by holding the CTRL key and clicking on the options you wish to add.
Show Method if Not Applicable	Do you want customers checking out with under the required amount be able to see this option?
Sort Order	Where on your list of shipping options do you want this to display? Leave blank to be sorted by default.

Save and Refresh

Save and you are all set up to allow free shipping. We recommend testing this yourself in your store by creating an order that fits the requirements and go through the checkout flow.

Alternatives ways to offer Free Shipping

There are many ways to offer free shipping other than this approach. Carriers like USPS, UPS, DHL and FedEx offer ways to extend free shipping to shoppers through their shipping tools and configurations.

If you are using rules other than the order total to determine free shipping, you can also see:

Table Rate Shipping - Use for weight, price or number of item based shipping with the option to restrict to more specific destination such as a state rather than a country.
Create a Discount Code - If you need product or category specific free shipping, Discount Codes are the way to go! This can be very complex, but is also gives you the most control.
