Notes:
- You should review your existing shipping rate configuration in your Shopify Settings > Shipping and Delivery to make sure that the Free shipping policy does not conflict with your current rate setting.
- For the amount in Free shipping minimum amount field, you enter the number only. In case your store uses multiple currencies, you need to add currency code with its amount and separate each currency part with a comma. Ex: USD:100,EUR:95,JPY:13000.
- As the result of this setup, the customers will see a dynamic free-shipping message corresponding to their current cart value whenever they add a product to the cart. There are two message types that they will see:
- Message type 1: Spend {remaining-amount} more to reach Free Shipping! When the customer's cart value does not reach the free shipping threshold, it shows this message including the amount that the customer should spend more to have a free-of-charge shipping.
- Message type 2: Congratulations! You are eligible for free shipping. When the customer's cart value reaches or exceeds the minimum amount for free shipping, this message is shown to confirm that their order is eligible for the free shipping.
