How to Set Up a Free Shipping Threshold Offer
Steps to launch a free shipping threshold offer using an Offer Experience
Free Shipping Threshold Offer
You can use Offers to power Free Shipping promotions. This type of offer reduces friction for customers, increases conversion, and incentivizes higher spend when paired with a threshold.
Examples: Free standard shipping at $75+, Free expedited shipping at $150+
Goal: Conversion optimization + AOV increase
Who: Universal shoppers
What: Free shipping when spend threshold is met
When: Evergreen or seasonal
Offer Type: Free Shipping Threshold
Amount: $75 spend (adjustable to your margins and shipping costs)
Offer Experience
Timing: Evergreen or time-limited campaign
Where:
Cart and checkout
Homepage banners
PDP shipping callouts
Emails
Display: Progress bar or unlock message, shipping banners
Activation: Automatic when spend threshold is met
Why it works: Free shipping reduces cart abandonment, meets customer expectations, and encourages larger baskets to unlock the perk.
