This guide walks you through the process of setting up a promotional offer that rewards eligible customers with free shipping on their orders in the <\/strong>GIFTiT – Free Gifts for WooCommerce<\/a> plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Select the Free Shipping Method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Create a new rule and select “Free Shipping<\/strong>” from the list of Methods<\/strong>. This tells the plugin that the benefit is a shipping cost waiver, not a physical product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Define the Shipping Method(s)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the Select Shipping<\/strong> section, open the combo box and specify which shipping methods this offer applies to (e.g., Standard Ground Shipping, Express Shipping). You can choose to apply it to all methods or only to specific ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also give the offer a clear name and description for internal tracking in the Rule Name<\/strong> and Description<\/strong> fields. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Free<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Set the Conditions (Who Qualifies)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is where you define the rules for eligibility. In the “Conditions<\/strong>” section, press the Add Condition<\/strong> button and set the criteria a customer must meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common conditions include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \u00b7 Customer Groups:<\/strong> (e.g., VIP Members, New Customers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \u00b7 Purchase History:<\/strong> (e.g., Number of orders, Total amount spent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  \u00b7 Cart Value:<\/strong> (e.g., Order value exceeds $100).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Save and Activate the Offer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Click on the Save Settings<\/strong> to save the offer and activate it. The system will now automatically apply free shipping to orders that meet your specified conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: Reward Your Most Active Customers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scenario: Offer free shipping to customers who have placed more than 2 orders this month.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how you would configure the offer based on the steps above:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select Method<\/strong>: Choose Free Shipping<\/strong> from the Method<\/strong> list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Define Shipping<\/strong> Method<\/strong>: Apply the offer to “All methods<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set Conditions<\/strong>: In the conditions section, set the fields to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer > Customer Value > Order Count > Current Month > at least > 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Free<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By applying the rule, any customer who has placed more than two orders in the current month will automatically have the standard shipping cost waived at checkout for their next eligible order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
