Use Shipping Discount when a merchant wants to discount shipping rates. This template is mainly for shipping-only offers. It can apply to all shipping methods, specific shipping methods, or all shipping methods except selected ones. The template card says: “Offer free shipping or discounted shipping when conditions are met.” The example shown in AIOD is “Free shipping for orders above $100.”

When to use this template

Use this template for:
  • Free shipping on all shipping methods.
  • A percentage shipping discount.
  • A fixed amount shipping discount.
  • A fixed final shipping price.
  • Free shipping when the cart meets a subtotal, quantity, weight, product, customer, or destination condition.
  • A shipping discount that only applies to selected shipping methods.
  • A shipping discount that excludes selected shipping methods.
Use another template when the merchant also needs product discounts, gifts, order discounts, BOGO logic, or multiple discount actions under one code.
