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'.  


 


Info

This article page assumes you've already got the Promotion Codes feature enabled for your website. If you haven't, please contact us to switch it on for you.

  • 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 user's 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.
