FAQ
How do I choose a free shipping threshold?
Start just above your average order value so buyers add an item to qualify, and make sure an order at the threshold still earns at least what an average order earns today after you pay shipping.
What is the break-even order value?
(Profit per average order today + shipping cost) ÷ gross margin. Below it, offering free shipping earns less per order than you earn now.
Does this include conversion changes?
No. Free shipping usually lifts conversion and order size; this tool keeps the per-order math honest so you can test thresholds safely.
