Offering tiered shipping discounts is a brilliant way to encourage customers to spend more in your shop. This feature will work if you are a Shopify plus user. Let’s find out how it works.
Setting up your first discount tier
- Head to your Shopify admin panel and find ‘Apps’, then click on ‘Checkout Blocks’
- Install the Checkout Blocks App
- Next, look for ‘Discounts’ and choose ‘Create discount’, followed by ‘Amount off shipping’
- Select ‘Automatic discount’ and write your discount message (e.g., “50% off shipping on orders £50+”)
- Choose ‘Percentage’ from the dropdown menu and enter 50%
- Add a new rule that says “Cart subtotal is greater than or equal to £50”
Creating your second discount tier
Follow the same steps to set up your free shipping tier:
- Go back to ‘Discounts’ and add another shipping discount
- Select ‘Automatic discount’ again
- This time, choose ‘Free shipping’ as your discount type
- Set up a rule for “Cart subtotal is greater than or equal to £100”
Additional options to consider
For both discount tiers, you can:
- Choose specific delivery options the discount applies to
- Allow customers to combine discounts
- Set start and end dates for your promotion
- Review all settings in the Summary section before saving
You can specify which delivery methods get the discount by:
- Selecting specific shipping options
- Choosing particular price ranges
- Picking certain delivery types
Review everything in the Summary section and click ‘Save’ to activate your discounts.
Conclusion
Setting up shipping discount tiers can really boost your sales and make customers happy. The best part is that Shopify automatically applies the highest discount when orders qualify for multiple tiers, so you don’t need to worry about overlapping discounts.
