How to Offer Free Shipping When Order Total Exceeds Certain Value
Let’s say you want delivery in your store to become free if the client’s order total exceeds certain value. To do this:
- Open the Administration → Shipping & Taxes → Shipping methods page.
- Add a new shipping method with manual rate calculation (see below), or choose one of the existing methods to configure it.
- The shipping method editing page will open. Go to the Shipping time and rates tab.
- Decide where your shipping method will be offered. To do this, choose rate areas from the dropdown list. If there is a rate area in the store which you did not include in the shipping method, orders will not be delivered in this area.
If a certain rate area does not exist in your store, you can add it. This is only necessary if you need to add different conditions and availability/unavailability of delivery to this area.
- Configure each rate area and specify the Price condition. In this case there are two ways to configure this section:
- Way 1:
Way 2:
In the Rate field enter the base shipping cost, for example, $50. Configure the Price condition as follows:
From
To
Surcharge / Discount
$1,000.00
and up (leave the field empty)
-$50.00
Leave the Rate field empty, and configure the Items condition as follows:
From
To
Surcharge / Discount
$00.00
$1,000.00
$50.00
$1,000.00
and up (leave the field empty)
$00.00
- In this case, for orders from $00.00 to $1,000.00, the shipping cost will be $50.00, and for orders over $1,000.00, it will be free.
- Click the Save button.
