How to Offer a Free Delivery
You can change your postage prices to 0.00 to offer free delivery on your items to buyers anywhere in the world. The simplest way to make free delivery work for your shop is to price your items to include the postage cost in the item list price. How you determine and set your prices is your decision.Â
You can also choose to offer a free delivery guarantee to your buyers. A free delivery guarantee automatically applies free delivery for buyers to any individual items, eg. 45 GBP (depend your minimum amount you set to offer) and up and any order totalling 45 GBP or more from your shop.

How free delivery can work for your shop
Free delivery isn’t actually free for you, the seller. You still need to pay the delivery carrier to deliver your orders to buyers. By including postage costs in your item prices, buyers know what they need to pay for your items up-front, and you don’t lose money on orders with free delivery. Learn more about how it can benefit your business to offer free delivery.
Imagine that you sell a 45 GBP item, and you currently charge a 4 GBP flat rate to deliver it. One way to offer free delivery is to adjust the item price to £49 to recover your postage costs, and charging no separate delivery fee.

How to offer free delivery if you deliver internationally
To offer free delivery if you deliver internationally, here are some options to consider:
If you offer free delivery domestically, but not internationally
You can update your international postage costs to account for any postage prices that you included in your item prices. If you lower your postage prices for international delivery, your international customers don’t have to pay more than they did before you adjusted your item prices to recover your postage costs.
For example: You sell a 45 GBP item, and you currently charge a 4Â GBP flat rate to deliver it domestically, and 12Â GBP to deliver it internationally. You can change the item price to 57 GBP to recover the cost of delivery, and charge no delivery fee to deliver domestically, and 4 GBP flat rate to deliver internationally.
