Setting Up Manual Minimum Amounts for Free Shipping with the Free Shipping Amount Label & Progress Bar for WooCommerce #
The Free Shipping Amount Label & Progress Bar for WooCommerce offers flexibility for stores using non-standard free shipping methods. This article explores the “Manual min amount options” section of the plugin and how to configure it for your specific needs.
Understanding Manual Minimum Amounts #
- By default, the plugin automatically retrieves the minimum free shipping amount from your WooCommerce settings.
- However, if you’re using custom free shipping methods (not the standard WooCommerce “Free Shipping”), you’ll need to set the minimum amount manually.
Manual Min Amount Section #
- Enable manual min amount section: Activate this option to configure manual minimum amounts.
- Amount: Enter the minimum order value required to qualify for free shipping.
Special values #
- Empty or Zero (0): Ignores the manual value and attempts automatic retrieval.
- Free shipping: Displays the free shipping message regardless of the cart total.
- Minus one (-1): Disables the functionality (acts like zero).
- Hide: Hides the “amount left for free shipping” text.
Extra Options: Amounts #
Define individual minimum amounts based on #
- User roles: Set different minimums for guest users, administrators, editors, etc.
- Currencies: Specify minimums for specific currencies (e.g., USD, EUR).
- Shipping zones: Configure minimums for designated shipping zones (e.g., North America, Europe).
Compatibility #
The plugin offers compatibility with specific third-party plugins, such as the “WooCommerce Currency Switcher” by realmag777. This ensures the manual minimum amount automatically converts to the current currency.
Summary #
By effectively utilizing the “Manual min amount options,” you can ensure accurate free shipping information is displayed even with non-standard methods. Specifying minimum amounts based on user roles, currencies, and shipping zones allows for targeted free shipping promotions, potentially leading to increased sales and conversions.
