How can I configure free shipping?
Free Shipping by destination
Use this method if you want to:
1. Go to Setup & Tools › Set up your store › Shipping.
2. Click Edit next to the shipping area you want free shipping available in. If you have not yet set up the areas you are shipping to, see this guide.
3. Toggle on the switch to the right of Free shipping.
4. There will be a Free Shipping Options pop-up.
5. Click Save in the pop-up, then Done.
6. Your Free Shipping method is now up and active. If you need to disable it, simply Toggle off the switch.
Depending on your needs, you might consider a Flat Rate per Order, Ship by Order Total, or Ship by Weight method with $0 instead. These let you change the display name (e.g. "Local Pick-Up"), specify costs for orders that don't meet the order total for free shipping, or base shipping prices on the order weight instead.
The methods listed below will only work if the customer is ordering from a destination that has been enabled in the Shipping section. That destination must also have a functional shipping method (e.g. flat rate, FedEx) in addition to the free shipping options below, or the customer will receive an error at checkout.
