How do I set up a free shipping discount?

I'm struggling to implement a free shipping discount in my e-commerce store that effectively incentivizes purchases without cutting too deeply into my profit margins. I want to understand the different strategies for offering free shipping, how to set minimum purchase requirements, and how to ensure this promotional tactic actually drives more sales and increases average order value. What are the most effective ways to structure a free shipping promotion that benefits both my customers and my business?

Campaign-Specific Email Discount Codes

Campaign-specific codes create a direct attribution link between email marketing spend and revenue. When a sale uses code WELCOME-MAR26, you know exactly which campaign, month, and list segment drove that conversion.

Campaign Code Naming Convention

Campaign TypeCode FormatExample
Welcome seriesWELCOME-[month][year]WELCOME-MAR26
Winback campaignBACK-[month][year]BACK-MAR26
Seasonal email[SEASON][year]-[discount]SPRING26-15
Segment-specific[SEGMENT]-[offer]VIP-APR20

Email Code Configuration

  • Set expiry matching campaign window (typically 7-14 days for email campaigns)
  • Use single-use per customer to prevent multiple redemptions
  • Include in email as both visible text and auto-apply URL link
  • Archive code details after campaign with redemption count for future reference

Growth Suite: Scheduled Campaigns can be configured with campaign-specific discount codes that automatically activate at send time. Growth Links embed auto-apply URLs in email content, eliminating code entry friction while maintaining full attribution tracking in Funnel Report.
