Quick Tips For Offering Free Shipping In WooCommerce

As a camping and RV enthusiast, I know that free shipping can be a major incentive to make a purchase online. And as a WooCommerce store owner, I know that offering free shipping can be a great way to increase sales and boost customer satisfaction.

Here are a few quick tips for offering free shipping in WooCommerce:

  • Set a minimum order amount. This is a great way to offset the cost of free shipping while still offering it as a perk to customers who spend a certain amount of money on your store.
  • Offer free shipping on certain products. If you have a few popular products that you’re trying to promote, consider offering free shipping on those items. This can be a great way to increase sales of those products.
  • Offer free shipping to certain customer groups. For example, you could offer free shipping to VIP customers, repeat customers, or customers who sign up for your email list. This is a great way to reward your loyal customers and encourage others to sign up for your email list.
  • Use a shipping plugin. There are a number of shipping plugins available for WooCommerce that can help you offer free shipping. These plugins can make it easy to set up and manage your free shipping rules.

Here is a personally resonant tip from Steph, a camping and RV lifestyle enthusiast:

If you’re offering free shipping on camping and RV supplies, consider offering it on items that are heavy or bulky. This can be a great way to save your customers money on shipping costs and make it easier for them to purchase the items they need.
