How to configure Free Shipping in Magento 2

Free Shipping in Magento 2 can be configured in two main ways:

1. Based on a minimum purchase amount
2. As a cart price rule when certain conditions are met

⚠️ If both the Minimum Order Amount and Cart Price Rule apply to the same order, the Minimum Order setting takes priority.

How to Configure Free Shipping in Magento 2

1. Navigate to Admin -> Stores -> Settings -> Configuration -> Sales -> Delivery Methods -> Free Shipping

Free Shipping Settings:

• Enable [Yes / No]

Enable or disable the Free Shipping method on the checkout page.

• Title

Customize the shipping method title (default is Free Shipping).

• Method Name

Set a name that appears next to the calculated rate in the shopping cart.

• Minimum Order Amount

Define the minimum order subtotal required for free shipping eligibility.

• Include Tax Amount [Yes / No]
• Yes: Includes tax in the minimum order calculation → (Subtotal + Tax - Discount)
• No: Excludes tax → (Subtotal - Discount)

• Displayed Error Message

Customize the error message shown if free shipping is unavailable.

• Ship to Applicable Countries [All Allowed Countries / Specific Countries]
• If selecting Specific Countries, choose which countries should have access to free shipping.

• Ship to Specific Countries

Only works if "Specific Countries" is selected above.

• Show Method if Not Applicable [Yes / No]

Decide whether to display the method even when it’s not available.

• Sort Order

Define the order in which this shipping method appears at checkout (e.g., setting it to "2" shows it as the second option).

✅ After configuration, click Save Config, flush all caches, and refresh your website for the changes to take effect.
