# Welcome to Advanced Free Shipping

## What is Advanced Free Shipping?

Advanced Free Shipping is a Shopify app that gives you control over your shipping discounts. Unlike Shopify's built-in shipping discounts, Advanced Free Shipping lets you create shipping discount rules based on your customer's cart, location, or profile.

## Why Advanced Free Shipping?

* **Flexible Conditions** - Create shipping discounts based on cart value, products, collections, customer tags, location, weight, and much more.
* **Multiple Conditions** - Combine multiple conditions with AND/OR logic to create exactly the discount rules you need.
* **Target Specific Rates** - Apply shipping discounts to all shipping rates, just the cheapest, or specific rates by name.
* **Test Mode** - Test your discounts safely without affecting real customers.

## Key Features

### Available Conditions

Create shipping discounts based on:

* **Cart & Order** - Total, subtotal, quantity, weight, subscription items
* **Location** - Country, province/state, postal code, Shopify market
* **Customer** - Tags, order count (works for guests too!)
* **Products** - Specific products, collections, collection quantities and totals

### Flexible Discount Types

* **Free Shipping** - Make shipping completely free
* **Percentage Off** - Discount shipping by a percentage (e.g., 50% off)
* **Fixed Amount Off** - Reduce shipping by a fixed amount (e.g., $5 off)
* **Fixed Price** - Set shipping to a specific price (e.g., flat $3 shipping)

### Advanced Features

* **Multiple Scenarios** - Create OR logic by adding multiple rule groups
* **Multiple Targets** - Apply different discounts to different shipping rates
* **Subscription Support** - Handle subscription and one-time purchases differently
* **Scheduling** - Set start and end dates for seasonal promotions
* **Usage Limits** - Control total uses and per-customer limits
* **Combination Rules** - Stack with other Shopify discounts
