Free Shipping Thresholds
Overview
A free shipping threshold motivates customers to add more to their cart to avoid paying for shipping — one of the highest-converting tactics for increasing average order value. The key is showing a dynamic progress bar ("Add $12 more for free shipping") that updates as items are added. Most platforms support this natively or via an app without writing any code.
When to Use This Skill
- When adding a free shipping banner or cart progress bar to increase average order value
- When different customer tiers should have different free shipping thresholds
- When A/B testing different threshold amounts to find the AOV sweet spot
- When you want to surface "add $X more to unlock free shipping" messages dynamically
- When free shipping rules should vary by shipping zone (domestic vs. international)
