How do I offer free shipping above a certain order amount?
In "Delivery settings", enter a "Min. order amount for free shipping". Any order whose products reach it pays no delivery fee, and the cart and some themes' announcement bars advertise it.

Free shipping above a set amount is an easy way to get shoppers to add a bit more to their order. On Elmatajer you set the amount once and delivery becomes free automatically for any order that reaches it.
Steps
- Open "Shipping" → "Local Delivery".
- In the "Delivery settings" card, enter the amount in "Min. order amount for free shipping", for example 500.
- Click "Save settings".
To turn free shipping off, clear the field (or enter 0) and save. The field itself says "Empty = no free shipping".
How it's calculated
As the page explains: "Orders whose items total (before discount) reaches this amount pay no delivery fee."
- It compares the products total before any coupon discount.
- If the order reaches the amount, the delivery fee is zero whatever area the shopper picked.
- The minimum works on its own and isn't tied to the "Enable local delivery" switch. But if local delivery is off, delivery is already free.
Where shoppers see it
- In the cart: a progress bar saying "Spend … more for free shipping", and once they reach it: "You unlocked free shipping!".
- In the announcement bar at the top of the store: in some themes, if you haven't written your own announcement text, a line such as "Free shipping on orders over 500 EGP" appears. If you've written your own text, yours is shown instead.
- At checkout: the "Delivery" line in the summary shows zero.
Note: The separate "Cart Progress Bar" add-on has its own goal and messages set on its own page; it doesn't use this amount.
