Can I create conditional free shipping offers?

I'm looking to implement a strategic free shipping offer that doesn't just give away shipping at a loss. I want to create intelligent conditions that encourage larger purchases, prevent margin erosion, and motivate customers to increase their cart value. My goal is to design a free shipping strategy that feels like a win for customers while protecting my business's profitability. What are the most effective ways to set up conditional free shipping offers that drive both conversion and average order value?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Conditional free shipping offers require meeting specific criteria - minimum order value, specific products in cart, customer tier, or geographic location. Set these conditions in Growth Suite's campaign targeting rules and the corresponding Shopify free shipping discount code settings.

Conditional Free Shipping Offer Design

Conditional free shipping is more strategic than blanket free shipping because conditions drive specific behaviors. A minimum purchase condition increases AOV; a product-in-cart condition promotes specific items; a customer tier condition rewards loyalty.

Threshold Progress Messaging

For minimum-value conditions, show progress toward the threshold in Growth Suite's Advanced Cart Drawer: "You're $12 away from free shipping" - this message consistently increases cart completion rate and average order value as customers add one more item to qualify.
