For Cyber Monday, schedule one shipping discount that runs from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM on the day, makes Standard free and takes 50% off Express on carts of $35 or more, measured before your sale codes. Shopify’s own free shipping discount makes every eligible rate free and can’t take a percentage off one rate while freeing another. RM: Advanced Free Shipping targets rates by name, sets a different discount on each, and switches on and off by date. It costs $9.90 USD every 30 days, with a 7-day free trial, billed by Shopify.

Cyber Monday is the Monday after US Thanksgiving. In 2026, that is Monday, November 30.

The offer

  • Free Standard shipping on carts of $35 or more, before discounts.
  • 50% off Express on the same carts.
  • Monday 12:00 AM to Monday 11:59 PM, store time.

What customers pay

In this example, the store’s rates are Standard at $6.95 and Express at $18.00. A sitewide code, CYBER25, takes 25% off products.

  • $44 cart with CYBER25: products come to $33.00. The cart was $44 before the code, so it qualifies. Standard shows $6.95 Free, and Express shows $18.00 $9.00. With Standard, the customer pays $33.00.
  • $30 cart with CYBER25: products come to $22.50. Under $35 before discounts, so Standard costs $6.95 and the customer pays $29.45.

With Cart total instead, the $44 cart would drop to $33 and lose the offer. Use Cart total only if you want the threshold measured after discounts.

Set it up the week before

  1. Click Create Shipping Discount and choose Automatic discount under Discount method. Give it a Title customers will see, such as “Cyber Monday free shipping”.
  2. Under Conditions, add Cart subtotal Is at least 35.
  3. Under Discount setup, choose Shipping, Choose specific rates, pick Standard, and set Discount value to Free.
  4. In the ⋯ menu on Discount setup, choose Add delivery discount. Pick Express and set Percentage 50.
  5. Leave Product discounts and Order discounts ticked under Combinations.

Test it, then schedule it

Shopify doesn’t run a discount before its start date, so test first and schedule after:

  1. Create it with Test mode on and the Start date set to now.
  2. At checkout, enter ABC123 as the shipping first name. Try a $34 cart, a $35 cart, and a $44 cart with CYBER25 applied.
  3. Under Active dates, change the Start date to Cyber Monday at 12:00 AM. Tick Set end date and choose the same day at 11:59 PM.
  4. Turn off Test mode and save. The dashboard shows Scheduled until Monday and Expired after it ends.

Times use your store’s timezone, which is shown next to the time fields. A store on Eastern time ends at 11:59 PM Eastern, which is 8:59 PM Pacific. To run until midnight on the West Coast, end at 2:59 AM Tuesday Eastern.

Make your sale codes work with it

Both discounts must allow combining. The app’s side is already set:

The Combinations card in RM: Advanced Free Shipping, reading Shipping discount can be combined with, with Product discounts and Order discounts both ticked

Now open CYBER25, or any automatic Cyber Monday sale, in Shopify admin and tick Shipping discounts under Combinations. Codes from email and loyalty apps need the same setting. The app’s dashboard warns “Other discounts may need to be updated” when an active product or order discount doesn’t combine with shipping.

If you already run a Black Friday offer

Only one shipping discount applies per rate, and Shopify gives the customer the one that saves the most. A Black Friday weekend discount and this one can overlap safely. If you’d rather Monday stand alone, end the Black Friday discount on Sunday at 11:59 PM.

Variations

  • Cyber Week. Move the End date to the following Sunday.
  • Free Express on big carts. Add a second discount: Cart subtotal Is at least 150, Express, Free, same dates. Free saves more than 50% off, so carts over $150 get it. See tiered shipping discounts.

Shopify allows 25 active automatic discounts across all apps, including scheduled ones, so count your Cyber Monday automatics. Match your banners to $35. The app discounts the rate. It doesn’t change your storefront.
