# Flat $5 shipping on orders over $50 on Shopify

To charge a flat $5 for shipping over $50, create a shipping discount with **Cart total Is at least 50** and set **Discount value** to **Fixed Price** `5`. Every rate above $5 then costs exactly $5, and rates already at $5 or less are left alone. Shopify's own [free shipping discount](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/discounts/discount-types/free-shipping) can only make shipping free, so it can't cap a rate at a set price. [RM: Advanced Free Shipping](https://apps.shopify.com/better-free-shipping) discounts the rates you already have down to the price you choose, so your shipping settings stay as they are. It costs $9.90 USD every 30 days, with a 7-day free trial, billed by Shopify.

## What the customer gets

In this example the rates are Economy $4.50, Standard $8.90 and Express $24.90. The offer is $5 shipping over $50.

- **A $60 cart:** Standard drops from $8.90 to $5.00 and Express from $24.90 to $5.00. Economy stays $4.50, because it's already under $5. The customer pays $60 + $5 = $65 with Standard.
- **A $40 cart:** it's under $50, so nothing changes. The customer pays $40 + $8.90 = $48.90 with Standard.

Fixed Price never raises a rate. A rate cheaper than your price keeps its own price.

## Set it up

1. In the app, click **Create Shipping Discount**.
2. Under **Discount method**, choose **Automatic discount**, and enter a **Title** such as "$5 shipping over $50".
3. In **Conditions**, click **Add condition**. Keep **Cart total**, set **Is at least** and enter `50`.
4. In **Discount setup**, set **Delivery type** to **Shipping** and **Which rates** to **All shipping rates**.
5. Set **Discount value** to **Fixed Price** and enter `5`.
6. Click **Create discount**.

The screenshot shows a free shipping discount over $100. For this offer, enter `50` in the condition and choose **Fixed Price** `5` under **Discount value**.

## Variations

- **$5 Standard, Express at full price:** set **Which rates** to **Choose specific rates** and select Standard. Express stays $24.90.
- **$5 Standard and $15 Express in one discount:** set the first delivery discount to Standard with **Fixed Price** `5`. Then open the **⋯** menu on **Discount setup**, choose **Add delivery discount**, select Express and set **Fixed Price** `15`. A $60 cart pays $5 for Standard or $15 for Express.
- **$5 over $50, free over $100:** create a second discount with **Cart total Is at least 100** and **Free**. Shopify gives each rate the bigger saving, so a $120 cart ships free. See [tiered shipping discounts](/guides/tiered-shipping-discounts.md).
- **A flat price for one region:** add **Shipping country** or **Province / State** in the same rule group. See [free shipping by state](/guides/free-shipping-by-state.md).
- **A flat price with a code:** choose **Discount code** in step 2, such as `SHIP5`.

## Good to know

- **To keep Express full price**, use **Choose specific rates**. On **All shipping rates**, Fixed Price brings every rate above $5 down to $5, Express included.
- **To cap live carrier rates**, use the same setup. Fixed Price works on carrier rates too, so a $17.60 UPS Ground quote becomes $5.00 on a qualifying cart.
- **Fixed prices convert for other currencies.** You enter $5 in your store currency, and Shopify's exchange rate converts it for customers paying in another currency. See Shopify's guide to [pricing in local currencies](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/international/pricing).
- **To test it**, turn on **Test mode** and check out with the shipping first name `ABC123`. Try carts at $49 and $50.
