Step-by-step guide
To configure a Free Freight promotion:
- In the CMS, navigate to Campaigns & Promotions→ Promotion Codes.
- Click 'Add Promotion Code'.
- 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 user's 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 nominate a specific one.
- 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.

Usage Limits You can set the max 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 a user (or comma-separated list of users) who are permitted to use the promotion code. Any user not in this list will be unable to apply the promo to their order.  Image Modified

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, but the user has updated their cart contents such that they are no longer eligible for the promotion.
- Promotion Code Error Message - The notification displayed when the promo code can't be applied. Perhaps the cart value is not high enough, or the user hasn't purchased the minimum quantity.
- Promotion Code Applied Message - The notification displayed when the promo code is successfully applied to the user's cart.
