How Do I Add Free Shipping to a Specific Amount in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 17, 2023 @ 4:04 pm

Adding free shipping to a specific amount in WooCommerce is a great way to encourage customers to spend more in your store. There are two ways to do this: using a plugin or adding code to your functions.php file.

Adding free shipping via a plugin is the easiest way to do this. Simply install and activate the plugin, then go to its settings page and enter the amount you want to offer free shipping for.

The plugin will then take care of the rest, adding a free shipping method to your store when the amount is reached.

Adding free shipping via code is a bit more complicated, but still fairly easy to do. First, you need to add the following code to your functions.php file:

PRO TIP: If you are using the WooCommerce plugin for WordPress, you may be wondering how to add free shipping to a specific amount in your store. This can be done by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping and selecting the “Free Shipping” method. From here, you can enter the minimum order amount that must be met for free shipping to be available.
function my_free_shipping_method() {
  if ( WC()->cart->subtotal >= 500 ) {
    $free_shipping = true;
  } else {
    $free_shipping = false;
  }
return $free_shipping;
}

This code will check the cart subtotal and if it’s greater than or equal to 500, it will enable the free shipping method. You can change the 500 to any amount you want.

Once you have added this code, you need to go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping and select Free Shipping from the Shipping Zone Method dropdown. Then, save your changes.

Conclusion: Adding free shipping is a great way to encourage customers to spend more in your store.

Adding free shipping via a plugin is the easiest way to do this. The plugin will then take care of the rest, adding a free shipping method to your store when the amount is reached.
