Set Different Rewards for High Customer Engagement and More Successful Referrals

👨‍💻 Key details to remember for ‘Free shipping’ reward type



➡️ If you want to waive the delivery charges for both the referrer and referee, select the ‘Free shipping’ reward type for both



➡️ If you want to offer free shipping regardless of the order value, leave both the associated options — 'Exclude shipping fee over a certain amount' and 'This discount requires a minimum order subtotal' — unchecked

➡️ In case you want to define some shopping criteria to offer free shipping, choose the given options wisely

Exclude shipping fee over a certain amount: After choosing this option, you will have to define a shipping amount. Now, if the shopper has order delivery charges lower than your defined value, the shipping amount will be exempted upon applying the coupon or vice versa

This discount requires a minimum order subtotal: As this option’s name suggests, the coupon holder will have to add products to his/her cart for being eligible for the free shipping

Note that if you choose both options, the coupon will be applied only when all the conditions are met. So, be careful while setting values for both options.
