- Next to the shipping zone for which you would like to provide free shipping, select “Add Rate”.
- Enter a name for the selected rate.
- Ensure that the value of the “Price” field is Nil (0).
- You will then have the option to add weight-based or value-based conditions. In order to do this, you will need to: - Select “Add Conditions”. - Decide whether the condition will be based on weight or value. - Enter the minimum and maximum values for the selected condition.
