i want functionality in my cart when some one hit the mile stone i want to give free shipping so how can i do it i have no idea if anyone know the flow then help me please. and should i need to use the shopify discount function for that?

The easiest way is to create a free shipping discount in Shopify and add an announcement bar to inform visitors—for example: Free shipping on all orders over $80.

but i want it using shopify app

You don’t need a discount function for this. In the shipping settings, you can set free shipping for orders over a certain amount.

As soon as the customer exceeds this break point, shipping becomes free. No app, discount, or similar is required. Just the correct settings. :slight_smile:
