For an end of financial year sale, schedule a shipping discount that runs to 11:59 PM on June 30, makes Standard free and takes $10 off Express on carts of $100 AUD or more, measured before your sale codes. Add a second discount that makes Express free for the final days. Shopify’s own free shipping discount makes every eligible rate free and can’t put a different discount on each rate. RM: Advanced Free Shipping targets rates by name, checks the cart before or after discounts, and switches on and off by date. It costs $9.90 USD every 30 days, with a 7-day free trial, billed by Shopify.

The Australian financial year ends on June 30. Amounts on this page are in AUD, for a store whose currency is AUD.

The offer

  • Discount A: free Standard and $10 off Express on carts of $100 or more, before discounts. In this example, June 1 at 12:00 AM to June 30 at 11:59 PM.
  • Discount B: free Express on the same carts. In this example, June 26 at 12:00 AM to June 30 at 11:59 PM.
  • Australian addresses only.

What customers pay

In this example, the store’s rates are Standard at $10.95 and Express at $16.95. A sitewide code, EOFY20, takes 20% off products.

  • June 10, $120 cart with EOFY20: products come to $96.00. The cart was $120 before the code, so it qualifies. Standard shows $10.95 Free, and Express shows $16.95 $6.95. With Standard, the customer pays $96.00.
  • June 28, same cart: both discounts cover Express. Shopify applies one shipping discount per rate, the one that saves the customer the most, so Express is free. With Express, the customer pays $96.00.
  • June 10, $80 cart with EOFY20: products come to $64.00. Under $100 before discounts, so the customer pays $74.95 with Standard.

With Cart total instead, the $120 cart would drop to $96 and lose free shipping. Use Cart total only if you want the threshold measured after discounts.

Set up Discount B

Create a second Automatic discount with the same two conditions. Under Discount setup, choose Choose specific rates, pick Express, and set Discount value to Free.

Test both, then schedule them

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

  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 $99 cart, a $100 cart, and a $120 cart with EOFY20 applied, all to an Australian address.
  3. Under Active dates, set the real Start date. Tick Set end date and choose June 30 at 11:59 PM.
  4. Turn off Test mode and save. The dashboard shows Scheduled until each starts and Expired after June 30.

Times use your store’s timezone, so a store on Sydney time ends the sale earlier in the evening for Perth shoppers.

Make your sale codes work with it

Both discounts must allow combining. Open EOFY20, or your automatic EOFY sale, in Shopify admin and tick Shipping discounts under Combinations. The app’s dashboard warns “Other discounts may need to be updated” when an active product or order discount doesn’t combine with shipping.

Variations

  • A smaller tier under $100. Add a discount: Cart subtotal Is at least 60, Standard, Fixed Amount Off 5. Carts over $100 still get free Standard. See tiered shipping discounts.

Shopify allows 25 active automatic discounts across all apps, including scheduled ones.
