It means they won&#8217;t pay for anything other than the price of the goods they purchased.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Needless to say, this is an attractive and convenient way to capture the attention of customers, get them to buy more, and keep the old ones coming. Also, by allowing free shipping on your online store, you can <strong>help reduce cart abandonment in general and increase your chances of selling more products<\/strong>. It\u2019s quite simple \u2013 no one likes additional charges when buying products. So, once potential customers see that the products they\u2019re interested in have no extra charges, they\u2019re more likely to go for that purchase.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]There are also other ways in which you can use free shipping to your advantage. For example, you can set free shipping with extended delivery for regions that are a significant distance away. This can lower the need to ship items too quickly and can even allow you to find agents who offer a smaller price for their shipping services. Or, you can offer free shipping only to those customers who add a specific amount of items to their cart (more on that later). This will <strong>help bring additional profit to your online store and ensure that you don\u2019t lose any money in the process.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=&#8221;new-ecommerce-banner&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"when-and-how-you-should-offer-free-shipping\"><\/a>When and How You Should Offer Free Shipping?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]While free shipping can be a great way to get more customers to buy more products from your store, it means you have to pay the shipping costs yourself, which can be expensive if you don\u2019t have a solid shipping strategy in place. We are going to list some of the best ways to implement free shipping to your WooCommerce store and balance out your expenses at the same time. Of course, which strategy you will go for depends on your specific circumstances. Check out some of the available options:<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><strong>Free shipping on all product orders<\/strong> \u2013 this is, by far, the simplest way to offer free shipping to customers. However, it comes at the risk of impacting your profit, which means you need to measure the overall effects it could have on your income first. For example, if your items have small dimensions or don\u2019t have much weight in general, you may consider adding free shipping on all of them.<\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul><ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><strong>Shipping included in the product price<\/strong> \u2013 this method is used by many retailers. Basically, you take the shipping price into account and then increase the price of your product to some extent to accommodate your expenses. You can also measure the sales volume you would need to balance out your profits and calculate your product price accordingly.<\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul><ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><strong>Minimum order free shipping<\/strong> \u2013 as we\u2019ve already briefly mentioned above, free shipping with the minimum order means your customers will have to meet certain order conditions (i.e. add a certain number of products to the cart until they reach a certain price) to get access to free shipping. By doing so, you can get them to buy more products, which can only boost your profit and balance out your shipping expenses as a result.<\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul><ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><strong>Free shipping to specific countries<\/strong> \u2013 as certain long-distance locations are more expensive in terms of shipping, you can limit your free shipping offers to local customers only. You can either offer free shipping to customers from your country and\/or to those from other neighboring countries.<\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul><ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><strong>Free shipping on specific products<\/strong> \u2013 this is an excellent strategy you can use on items that aren\u2019t that popular (or any items you wish to attract attention to) to increase their chances of being purchased. Of course, when doing so, you have to take profit margins into account so as not to suffer any losses.<\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul><ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><strong>Free shipping on combined products<\/strong> \u2013 this is another great strategy that can help boost your purchases. It\u2019s pretty simple \u2013 you just need to offer free shipping for a matching set of products. For example, if your customers want to buy a laptop, they will get free shipping if they also buy a laptop case.<\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]All in all, there are many ways in which you can implement free shipping into your WooCommerce store.
