Free-Shipping Threshold

Calculators

From what order value can you offer free shipping without eating your profit?

What does it mean?

Free shipping is e-commerce's strongest cart motivator — but set the threshold wrong and it becomes the fastest way to lose. The rule: the order must cover its own shipping out of its margin (shipping cost ÷ margin), and the smart threshold sits slightly above your average cart to push customers to add one more item.

Suggested threshold

150 SAR

50 SAR

Rule of thumb: threshold = the higher of “shipping coverage” and “1.25× average cart” — so the threshold actually lifts cart size.

ResultSet free shipping from 150 SAR — your margin already covers shipping from 50 SAR, so this threshold pushes customers to grow their cart instead of giving shipping away for free.
