Overview
Free Freight promotion codes treat your customers to $0 shipping on eligible orders. All they need to do is meet a minimum spend requirement and apply the promo code to their cart!
In the example below, we'll create a Free Freight promo code for orders over $50, using the code 'FREEFREIGHT50'.
This page assumes you've already got the Promotion Codes feature enabled for your website.
- BPD sites: to enable Promotion Codes, go to Settings → Feature Management → Payment & Checkout, and toggle ON Promotion Codes. (See Promotion Codes help.)
- Classic sites: contact Commerce Vision to have it switched on.
Step-by-step guide
To configure a Free Freight promotion:
- In the CMS, navigate to Campaigns & Promotions → Promotion Codes.
- Click the Add Promotion Code button.
- Select Promotion Type = Freight.
- Select the scenario When I spend X dollars I get free freight.
- Enter your Promotion Code (no spaces). This is what your customer enters at checkout to redeem the promo.
- Give the promotion a Description. This will be displayed in the order summary during checkout.
- Specify Start and End dates. Click the calendar icon to launch the date picker. NOTE - If start and end dates are not set, the promotion code cannot be used. An error message will display when the customer tries to apply the code during checkout.
- Enter the Discount Threshold. This is the dollar amount the customer must spend to qualify for free freight.
- Nominate the Carrier Code this promotion applies to. You can grant free freight via ALL carriers, or add one or more carriers from the dropdown list.
- Click Save & Exit.
Your free freight promotion is now ready to go! Customers who meet the minimum spend requirement can apply the promo code to their cart to receive $0 shipping.
We recommend that Promotion Codes be configured on your Stage site and thoroughly tested to ensure behaviour is as expected.
