How To Create Magento 2 Free Shipping Cart Rules: Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Set up Free Shipping in Magento 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, you will have to configure free shipping in Magento 2<\/a> using the default settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Create a Cart Price Rule for Free Shipping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve set free shipping, you can now define the cart price rules to offer it to your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to Marketing > Promotions > Cart Price Rules<\/strong> and click Add New Rule.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, fill out basic information<\/strong> about the rule, like name and description. Make sure to activate the cart price rule and select the applicable websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also select the applicable customer groups<\/strong> to which you want to offer the free shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Move ahead to select the coupon option<\/strong> and enter the coupon code<\/strong> if you are providing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Add<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After this, expand the Action section<\/strong> and select the value of Apply<\/strong> from the dropdown. And in the below toggle button Set Apply to Shipping Amount<\/strong> to yes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cart<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, set the Magento 2 cart rule free shipping condition<\/strong> from the dropdown and select \u201cFor matching items only.<\/strong>\u201d (This rule only applies to specific items in the cart that match the rule you have set.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click the small plus button to insert your condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Set<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, enter the labels<\/strong> to appear during checkout. The message you set here will be shown to your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Test The Rule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now save and test if the rule is working as per the plan. You need to give some time before testing, so it is advisable to wait for a while and test the rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how the free shipping functionality will appear after you make these settings live from your store\u2019s backend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
