How do I create free shipping for orders over $50?

I'm running an e-commerce store and want to implement a free shipping threshold to encourage larger purchases and improve my average order value. I've heard that free shipping over a certain dollar amount can be a powerful motivator for customers, but I'm unsure about the best way to set this up in my Shopify store. What are the strategic considerations for implementing a free shipping promotion, and how can I make sure it doesn't negatively impact my profit margins?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Social sharing discounts reward customers who share their purchase on social media with a discount on their next order. This leverages user-generated content and word-of-mouth while providing a compelling reason to share beyond just brand enthusiasm.

Social Sharing Discount Programs

Social sharing discounts create a positive exchange: customers get a reward for doing something they might have done anyway (sharing a purchase they love), and you get user-generated content and word-of-mouth reach that paid ads can't replicate.
