Setting up Free Shipping in WooCommerce

Free Shipping

Free shipping is a great way to encourage customers to spend more. For example, offer free shipping on orders over $100.

Setup and Configuration

To offer the free shipping method it must be added to a Shipping Zone and you can add it to as many Shipping Zones as you like. Here’s how:

1/ Go to: WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping.

2/ Select a Shipping Zone, Click Edit

3/ Click Add Shipping Method and a modal will display. Select Free Shipping from the dropdown and Add shipping method.

4/ Select Free Shipping in the row you wish to define and select Edit.

5/ This takes you to a different screen to configure the free shipping method for that specific shipping zone.

N/A – Not available, Free Shipping is an option for all customers

A valid free shipping coupon – A coupon created that enables free shipping

A minimum order amount – Free shipping is only available if a minimum amount is spent. Set this amount in the Minimum Order Amount field which will appear if you choose this option.

A minimum order amount OR a coupon – Free shipping is available if a minimum amount is spent or the customer has a coupon that offers free shipping (see below: Create Free Shipping Coupons).

A minimum order amount AND a coupon – Free shipping is offered only if a minimum amount is spent and the customer has a coupon that offers free shipping.
