Shipping Method – Free Shipping

Free Shipping lets you offer shipping at no cost to customers, but you can set conditions to control when it applies. This method is often used to increase sales by encouraging larger orders.

How to Add Free Shipping

From the Shipping Methods page, click “Add Shipping Method”, assign a method name, and select the relevant zone. Then configure the method:

  1. Choose Manual Rate, then select Free Shipping Method
  2. Enable Expected Delivery Time if you want to show delivery estimates to customers
    (Optional)
  3. Create your shipping rules by adding conditions
  4. Enable Advanced Display Rules if you need more control over when this shipping method appears

How to Add Conditions for Free Shipping

You can add up to 3 conditions using the ➕ icon, and they follow AND logic. Each condition has three main fields:

  • Attribute – what is being measured (for example: Cart Weight, Cart Total, Product Quantity)
  • Operator – how the attribute is evaluated (for example: Equals, Greater than, Between)
  • Value – the number or range used for comparison

Here is an Example with 3 conditions

Condition 1Cart WeightBetween0–5 kg
Condition 2Cart TotalGreater than1000 USD
Condition 3CountryEqualsUnited States

All three conditions must be met for free shipping to apply.
