## How to choose a percentage-off shipping app

1. **All four types.** Percentage, a fixed amount off, a fixed price and free, so one app covers half-price weekends, shipping credits and flat-rate offers. RM: Advanced Free Shipping has all four.
2. **Which rates.** All rates, the cheapest rate, or rates by name or keyword. Half-price Express with free Standard is a common offer.
3. **Several discounts in one.** Free Standard and 50% off Express in one discount, with **Add delivery discount**.
4. **Tiers.** $10 off over $50 and free over $100 as two discounts. Only one shipping discount applies to a rate, and Shopify gives the customer the one that saves the most.
5. **Conditions.** 17 condition types, including cart total, weight, collection, state, ZIP code and customer tag, with AND/OR rule groups.
6. **Other currencies.** Fixed amounts and prices convert with Shopify's exchange rate.
7. **Built for Shopify, a flat plan and 7 languages.** One plan at $9.90 USD every 30 days, and an admin in 7 languages.
8. **Support.** Free personalised setup and support 7 days a week from the developer, plus the in-app assistant Kai.
