How to Create a Free Shipping Discount
Incorporating free shipping discount into your pricing strategy can lead to increased conversion rates and higher average order values. This article outlines how to create a free shipping discount to drive more conversions.
Create Free Shipping
- Click on Store Manager -> Discounts. This page shows a list of any existing discounts.
- Click the New Discount button in the upper right to add a new one.
- Select Free Shipping from the Discount Type menu.
- Add the Discount Code name, and set a Status and a Shipping Zone.
- Set Active Dates
You can set a Start and Expiry date to specify how long the discount code should be active.
If you leave the Expiry Date field blank, the code will be active until you manually set that Discount to “Inactive”.
- Set additional Discount Restrictions
You can set spend thresholds and limit the number of redemptions for free shipping discounts to manage costs and protect your margins. These restrictions ensure the discount is used effectively and remains sustainable for your business.
- Click Save in the upper right
And you’re done! Once you’ve created free shipping discount codes, you can easily change their configuration later on from the management page. Click on Store Manager > Discounts > Actions menu (three-dots) to Edit, Delete, or change the Status of a Discount.
