Free shipping thresholds and product-specific shipping fees

Abicart provides comprehensive flexibility in setting up your shipping costs, allowing you to create enticing offers for your customers while maintaining control over your logistics expenses. You can configure your delivery methods to seamlessly handle complex pricing scenarios, ultimately supporting increased conversion rates.

Incentivize Purchases with Free Shipping

Easily encourage larger orders by setting a free shipping threshold for a specific delivery method. You can define a minimum purchase amount—which includes shipping and other fees—above which the shipping cost is automatically waived for the customer.

Customize Shipping for Individual Products

For inventory that requires special handling, you can apply rules directly to individual products:

• Free Shipping per Product: You have the option to set specific products to always have free shipping. If a customer orders multiple items, some with and some without this setting, the regular shipping fee will still apply to the overall order.
• Handling Bulky Items: Products tagged as "bulky" can be managed separately from your standard offerings. By disabling standard delivery methods for bulky items, you can ensure that customers with large products in their cart are only presented with appropriate shipping options, such as "Pick up in store".

Detailed Shipping Rate Configuration

Beyond simple flat rates, you can implement dynamic shipping costs using flexible rate tables that integrate directly with geographical and weight data:

• Weight Ranges and Tariffs: Create customized shipping rates based on the total weight of the order in grams, allowing you to define different fees for specific weight intervals (e.g., 1-1000g, 1001-2000g, etc.).
• Country and Postcode Control: Apply these tariffs selectively by linking them to specific countries. For even greater control, you can restrict delivery methods to only apply to certain postal code areas, making local delivery services straightforward to set up.
