Thank you for your response.
Under the free shipping discount, I do not have the option to change the method. I can only create a free shipping code.
A merchant wants to combine a product discount with free shipping using a single code. Initial responses explain how to create free shipping discounts in Shopify, but confusion arises around automatic versus code-based options.
Key Challenge:
The original poster cannot find the “Automatic discount” option when creating free shipping discounts—only code-based discounts appear available (screenshot provided).
Workarounds Discussed:
Current Limitation:
Shopify’s native free shipping discounts don’t allow product-specific targeting, unlike amount-off or Buy X Get Y discounts. This feature was reportedly available ~6 months prior but has been removed.
Solution for Combined Discounts:
The app Savify enables merchants to create a single discount code that applies both order discounts (percentage/fixed amount) and 100% shipping discount simultaneously, or set it as an automatic discount without requiring codes.
