In order to create the free shipping coupon, go to Seller dashboard–> Coupons–> Add New Coupon.

Free shipping method that allows you to add a “free shipping” option for customer orders if they either meet certain criteria (e.g. a minimum order spend amount) or if you want to offer free shipping to all customers within a certain geographical area.
Here is how you can create a free shipping-
1. Go to Seller Dashboard > Shipping > Shipping zones.

3. Inside the shipping zone, click the Add shipping method button.
4. Then, select the shipping method and click the Continue button.
5. Enter a Name that displays to customers in the cart and checkout pages.
Select the requirement that users must meet to receive free shipping from the “Free Shipping Requires” dropdown:
- No requirement — Offer Free Shipping to all customers in that shipping zone.
- A valid free shipping coupon — Free Shipping is available if the customer uses a coupon that offers free shipping
- A minimum order amount — Free Shipping is available if the customer spends a minimum amount. Set this amount in the Minimum Order Amount field, which will appear if you choose this option.
- A minimum order amount OR a coupon — Free shipping is available if the customer spends a minimum amount or the customer uses a coupon that offers free shipping.
- A minimum order amount AND a coupon — Free shipping is available only if the customer spends a minimum amount and the customer uses a coupon that offers free shipping.
Free Shipping Requirements
Free Shipping – Minimum Order Amounts: If you select one of the minimum order amount options, a checkbox will appear: Apply minimum order rule before coupon discount.
- Box is unchecked: If an order meets the “minimum order amount” for free shipping by using the order amount after applying a coupon discount (if an order is R40 and a customer applies a R20 coupon, the order amount of R20 is used to check eligibility for free shipping).
- Box is checked: the order amount before a coupon discount will be used to determine if the minimum order amount for free shipping is met (if an order is R30 and the customer applies a R10 coupon, the undiscounted order amount of R30 is used to determine if the order is eligible for free shipping).
