# How to create a free shipping option for orders over a certain amount

Make shipping free for large or expensive orders

Offering free shipping once customers reach a minimum order amount is a great way to increase average order value. With CartGenie, you can set this up using a **Price-Based Shipping Method**.

## **Steps to Set Up Free Shipping**

Go to CartGenie Settings > Shipping and create a **new price-based shipping method** in a zone or edit an existing price-based method.

[Go to Shipping Settings](https://dash.cartgenie.com/settings/shipping)

A **Price-Based** method tells CartGenie to calculate shipping based on the total order amount. You can use set the shipping rate to charge for specific order total ranges.

**Name Your Method** something like Free Shipping and add a description if you wish.

Set the price range

-   **Min Price:** Enter the order total required to qualify. Example: $100.00
    
-   **Max Price:** Leave as ∞ (infinity) to apply free shipping to any order over your minimum amount.
    

Set the Rate Amount to **FREE.**

**Save** your method and the zone!

At checkout, customers with orders over $100 will automatically see and be able to select the **Free Shipping** option.

> **Success:** Tip: You can create multiple ranges within a price-based method if you want to offer different shipping tiers (e.g., Standard Shipping under $100, Free Shipping over $100).
