Creating free shipping rates

You can add free shipping rates to any shipping zone, so customers don't pay anything for shipping at checkout. You can set up free shipping to be the only shipping rate in your store, or offer free shipping when specific criteria are met. These criteria can be based on orders over a certain value, on orders over a certain weight, or on orders over a certain quantity.

Offering free shipping is a common business and marketing practice, because it reassures customers that they won't be charged a surprise high shipping fee when they place their orders.
