Add a free freight promotion code for your website.

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 SettingsFeature ManagementPayment & 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:

  1. In the CMS, navigate to Campaigns & Promotions Promotion Codes

  2. Click the Add Promotion Code button.


  3. Select Promotion Type = Freight.


  4. Select the scenario When I spend X dollars I get free freight



  5. Enter your Promotion Code (no spaces). This is what your customer enters at checkout to redeem the promo.


  6. Give the promotion a Description. This will be displayed in the order summary during checkout.


  7. 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. 


  8. Enter the Discount Threshold. This is the dollar amount the customer must spend to qualify for free freight.


  9. 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. 


  10. 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.
