Let's do it

1. Document the details

First you’ll need to determine some things before we get started:

  • Which shipping destinations qualify for free shipping? International shipping can cost quite a bit more, so consider the impact before you roll it out or limit the discount to domestic destinations only.
  • What, if any, is the minimum purchase amount to qualify? (Consider specifying a minimum purchase amount to increase order sizes which should help offset the free shipping expense)

2. Implement the discount in Shopify
