Free shipping threshold across markets ​

You can set a single free shipping threshold for your entire store. However, if you use Shopify markets, you might need to set a different threshold for each market. The easiest way to set a specific threshold for each market uses Metafields. Refer to Shopify help: Metafields.

After you set up a suitable Metafield, you can easily adjust shipping thresholds per market. To set up a Metafield for free shipping thresholds, refer to Create a Metafield.

Create a metafield ​

1. In your online store's admin, navigate to Settings > Custom Data.

2. On the Metafields pane, select Markets.

3. On the Market metafield definitions page, select Add definition.

4. In the Name field, enter Free shipping threshold.

5. In the Namespace and key field, enter switch.free_shipping_threshold.

6. Choose Select type, set the metafield type to Single line text, and then choose List of values.

7. Optional: On the Validations pane, in the Regular expression field, enter ^[A-Z]*\:?[0-9.]+$.

8. Confirm that your metafield definition is similar to the definition in following image.

   

9. Select Save.

Set a threshold value for each market ​

To set a threshold value for each market, complete the following steps.

1. In your online store's admin, navigate to Settings > Markets.

2. On the Market page, select a market to customize.

3. On the Market settings pane, select Metafields.

4. In the Free shipping threshold field, enter a threshold value.

   

   To specify a threshold for a particular country within a market, add a new item. Enter the country's 2-letter ISO code, followed by a colon, and enter a number to represent the threshold value. For example, FR:40 sets the threshold value at 40 for France.

   The following image shows an example metafield definition for a market with multiple countries. The definition includes a specific threshold value for each country.
