|
Free Freight promotions can be configured to 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 for orders over $50, using the code 'FREEFREIGHT50'.

Each promotion has several advanced options you may wish to configure. These can be accessed immediately after you create the promo, by navigating to Options → Edit Advanced Options. ![](/download/attachments/25264217/CMS-PromoEditAdvancedOptions.png?version=1&modificationDate=1534812502247&api=v2)
Or if you're editing an existing promo, they'll be located in a collapsed section below the main promo details: ![](/download/attachments/25264217/CMS-EditPromoAdvancedOptionsCollapsed.jpg?version=1&modificationDate=1534815396983&api=v2)
Misc Options
Usage Limits You can set the maximum number of times the promo code can be used, either by an individual User, users on a particular Customer Code, or Globally (site-wide). Leaving these limits at 0 = unlimited use by all. From version 4.10+, you can also specify one or more users (comma-separated list) who are permitted to use the promotion code. Any user not in this list cannot apply the promo code to their order. ![](/download/attachments/25264217/CMS-PromoCodeUserListUsageLimit.jpg?version=1&modificationDate=1550531702050&api=v2)
Messages There are default messages set at the promotion code feature level, but these can be overridden for each individual promotion. Leaving these blank will use the defaults. - Promo Code No Longer Applies Message - The notification displayed when the promo code was previously applied successfully but the cart contents have been changed so the code is no longer valid.
- Promotion Code Error Message - The notification displayed when the cart contents are not eligible for the promo code. Perhaps the cart value is not high enough or the minimum quantity has not been reached.
- Promotion Code Applied Message - The notification displayed when the cart contents are valid for the promo code.
