Free shipping is one of the most effective ways to boost conversions in your online store. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the exact steps to set up free shipping for orders over $50 in Hostinger Website Builder.
Step 1: Log In to Your Hostinger Account
Start by logging into your Hostinger account. Navigate to the “Websites” tab and click Edit Website next to the site built with Hostinger Website Builder.
Step 2: Access the Store Management Area
Once inside the editor, go to the Manage Store section. From there, click on Settings, then scroll down and select Shipping.
Step 3: Create a Shipping Zone
Click Create Zone and give your shipping zone a name (e.g., “US Shipping”). Add your target country—in this case, the United States—and make sure all 57 states are selected. Click Save.
Step 4: Add a Free Shipping Option
Under Shipping Options, click Add Option.
- Name it “Free Shipping.”
- Set the shipping rate to 0.
- Click Add Conditions, and choose Order Price as the condition type.
- Set the Minimum Order Price to 50 (this represents $50). Leave the maximum value blank.
Click Add to save this shipping rule.
Step 5: Remove or Adjust Default Shipping
If there’s an existing standard shipping option, you can delete it or modify it for lower-value orders. For example, set up another option called “Standard Shipping” with a $15 rate, applying to orders between $0–$50.
Step 6: Test Your Setup
Go live with your changes and test both scenarios—an order above $50 and one below it. The correct shipping option should appear based on the total value.
Step 7: Add a Sticky Announcement Bar
To promote your free shipping offer, add a sticky bar to the top of your website:
- Hover over the header and click Add Sticky Bar.
- Replace the default text with something like: “🚚 Free Shipping on All Orders Over $50!”
- Style it with bold fonts and a bright background (like yellow) to grab attention.
- Click Update Website to publish your changes.
Final Thoughts
Offering free shipping on orders over $50 in Hostinger Website Builder is simple, but powerful. It encourages larger cart sizes, reduces cart abandonment, and improves your brand’s professionalism. And with a sticky bar to highlight the offer, your customers won’t miss it.
