Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:01 pm

When you are setting up your WooCommerce shipping, you may want to offer free shipping as an option for your customers. Free shipping can be a great incentive for customers to purchase from your store, and it can also help you to save on shipping costs.

There are a few different ways that you can set up free shipping in WooCommerce, and we will go over those options in this article.

The first way that you can offer free shipping in WooCommerce is by setting a free shipping rate. To do this, you will need to go to the Shipping tab in your WooCommerce settings. From here, you can add a new shipping zone and select “Free Shipping” as the type of rate.

You will then need to enter a minimum order amount that is required for the free shipping rate to apply. This is the total amount of the order, not including any taxes or shipping fees. Once you have entered the minimum order amount, you can save your changes and the free shipping rate will be applied to all orders that meet that amount.

Another way to offer free shipping in WooCommerce is by using a plugin. There are a few different plugins that you can use to add free shipping to your WooCommerce store. One option is the “WooCommerce Free Shipping” plugin.

This plugin allows you to set up a minimum order amount for free shipping, or you can offer free shipping on specific products or product categories. You can also exclude certain products from being eligible for free shipping. Once you have installed and activated the plugin, you will need to go to the Settings page to configure the plugin.

If you are using the WooCommerce Flat Rate Shipping plugin, you can also offer free shipping by setting a flat rate of $0. To do this, you will need to go to the Shipping tab in your WooCommerce settings and edit the Flat Rate Shipping zone.

From here, you can add a new flat rate and set the price to $0. You will then need to enable the Free Shipping method and save your changes.

You can also offer free shipping by using coupons in WooCommerce. To do this, you will first need to create a coupon code with a 100% discount.

You can do this by going to the Coupons tab in your WooCommerce settings and clicking on Add New Coupon. Enter a coupon code and select “Free Shipping” from the Discount Type dropdown menu. Make sure that the Allow Free Shipping checkbox is checked and then save your changes.

Once you have created your coupon code, you will need to add it to your cart page. To do this, go to the Cart page in your WordPress admin area and click on the Coupons tab. Enter your coupon code in the Coupon Code field and click Apply Coupon.

PRO TIP: When creating a shipping label in WooCommerce, be sure to select the correct shipping service and package type. Otherwise, your label may not print correctly. Additionally, be sure to enter the correct weight and dimensions for your package, as this will affect the cost of shipping.

Your customers will now be able to enter their coupon code at checkout and receive free shipping on their order. Keep in mind that if you are offering free shipping with a minimum order amount, your customers will need to meet that minimum amount before they can apply their coupon code.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, there are many different ways that you can add a free shipping label in WooCommerce.

You can either set up a free shipping rate, use a plugin, or use coupons.

Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, so be sure to choose the one that best suits your needs.
