Free shipping can be implemented in several ways to boost sales, even when factoring shipping costs into product prices.

Create Free Flat-Rate Shipping Set up a free shipping option using Flat Rate shipping:

1. Enter "Free Shipping" as the Option Name
2. Set Per Order Fee to $0.00
3. Set Fee Per Item to $0.00

Implement Weight-Dependent Free Shipping For orders based on weight:

• Assign $0.00 cost to specific weight ranges
• Ensure all products have accurate weights
• Configure multiple weight ranges with varying costs

Free Shipping Discounts Two ways to offer shipping discounts:

1. Create promo codes for customers to apply
2. Set up automatic discounts that trigger at checkout (Commerce Advanced plan)

Discount conditions can include:

• All orders regardless of total
• Orders meeting minimum purchase requirements
• Specific shipping methods only
• Applied after other discounts

Tips for Success:

• Factor shipping costs into product pricing
• Set reasonable minimum order thresholds
• Clearly communicate shipping terms
• Monitor the impact on profit margins
• Consider seasonal or promotional periods

Remember that free shipping options often increase average order value and reduce cart abandonment rates.
