# Free shipping by country in Shopify, with a different threshold for each

To give free shipping in one country, add **Shipping country** **Is one of** to a shipping discount, with a threshold such as **Cart total** **Is at least** 75. For a different threshold per country, put each country in its own rule group. Shopify's own [free shipping discount](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/discounts/discount-types/free-shipping) can be limited to selected countries, but one discount has one minimum and makes every eligible rate free. [RM: Advanced Free Shipping](https://apps.shopify.com/better-free-shipping) gives each country its own threshold in one discount, and lets you pick which rates go free. The app is $9.90 USD every 30 days, with a 7-day free trial, billed by Shopify.

## What the customer gets

In this example a US store offers free shipping over $75 in the United States and over $150 in Canada. Standard in the US is $8.90. International Standard to Canada is $19.90.

- **Qualifies.** An $80 cart shipping to the US. Standard shows $8.90 crossed out and free. The customer pays $80.
- **Doesn't qualify.** The same $80 cart shipping to Canada is under $150. The customer pays $80 + $19.90 = $99.90.
- **Qualifies.** A $160 cart shipping to Canada. International Standard is free. The customer pays $160.

## Set it up

1. In the app, click **Create Shipping Discount**.
2. Under **Discount method**, choose **Automatic discount**. New discounts start on **Discount code**, and the method can't be changed later. Enter a **Title** such as "Free shipping".
3. In **Conditions**, click **Add condition**. Choose **Shipping country**, set **Is one of** and select United States.
4. Click **Add condition**. Choose **Cart total**, set **Is at least** and enter `75`.
5. Open the **⋯** menu on the Conditions card and choose **Add rule group**.
6. In the new group, add **Shipping country** **Is one of** Canada, and **Cart total** **Is at least** `150`.
7. In **Discount setup**, set **Delivery type** to **Shipping**, **Which rates** to **All shipping rates** and **Discount value** to **Free**.
8. Click **Create discount**.

Conditions inside a group are joined with AND. The groups are joined with OR, so a cart that passes either group gets free shipping.

![The Conditions card with two rule groups joined by OR: Rule group 1 is Customer tag Contains VIP, and Rule group 2 is Cart total Is at least $100 AUD AND Shipping country Is one of Australia](/images/rule-groups.png)

The screenshot shows the same layout on another offer: VIPs anywhere, OR anyone spending $100 with delivery to Australia.

## Variations

- **One country only:** skip steps 5 and 6. Use one group with **Shipping country** and **Cart total**.
- **Everywhere except some countries:** use **Shipping country** **Is not one of**.
- **By Shopify Market instead:** use the **Shopify Market** condition with **Is**. You can pick several markets, and renaming a market doesn't break the discount.
- **Free at home, cheaper abroad:** create a second discount for Canada with **Discount value** **Fixed Amount Off** 10. The $19.90 rate becomes $9.90. Each discount can have its own reward.
- **Free Standard only:** set **Which rates** to **Choose specific rates** and select your standard rates by name.
- **Leave out some states:** add **Province / State** **Is not one of** to the US group. See [free shipping by state](/guides/free-shipping-by-state.md).

## Good to know

- **To set exact amounts in local currency,** tick **Set fixed amounts per currency** under the Cart total amount, for example CAD 200. Otherwise the threshold converts from your store currency. See [free shipping thresholds in multiple currencies](/guides/free-shipping-threshold-multiple-currencies.md).
- **To see it at checkout,** enter the shipping address. The country condition checks the shipping address.
- **To find a missing country,** add it to a shipping zone in **Settings → Shipping and delivery**. The list shows the countries in your zones. See Shopify's guide to [setting up shipping zones and rates](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/fulfillment/setup/shipping-rates/setting-up-shipping-rates).
- **To give each group a different reward,** use separate discounts. All rule groups in one discount share the same discount setup.
- **To test both countries,** switch on **Test mode**, use `ABC123` as the first name, and try one address in each.
