Shipping Motivator (Beta)
What is the Shipping Motivator?
The shipping motivator is a tool you can use to encourage your retailers to buy more items per order to receive free shipping on their orders.
Please note: At the moment the Shipping motivator is linked to the Special Shipping groups feature, therefore you must set-up special shipping groups in order to use the Shipping motivator. However, the Shipping Motivator will become available to use on regular shippings rates.
