Free shipping can be offered in multiple ways to boost sales, even when factoring shipping costs into product prices. Here are the main methods to implement free shipping on your store:

Flat Rate Free Shipping Set up a flat rate shipping option by entering "Free Shipping" as the option name and setting both per order and per item fees to $0.00.

Weight-Based Free Shipping Offer free shipping for specific weight ranges by:

• Setting costs to $0.00 for selected weight ranges
• Ensuring all products have accurate weights assigned
• Using different rates for heavier items if needed

Free Shipping Discounts Create free shipping promotions through:

• Promotional codes that customers can enter
• Automatic discounts that apply when order minimums are met
• Options to limit free shipping to specific shipping methods
• Setting minimum order requirements (calculated after other discounts)

Important Notes:

• Free shipping can apply to all products or specific items
• Advanced Commerce plans enable automatic free shipping at checkout
• Minimum order requirements must be met after other discounts
• All products need accurate weights for weight-based shipping
• Consider incorporating shipping costs into product pricing

For optimal results, choose the method that best aligns with your business model and customer expectations while maintaining profitability.
