How the suggestion is computed

The threshold sits between 1.2 and 1.5 times your average order value: below that, most carts already cross it and you pay shipping for nothing; above, few carts try. We suggest 1.3 times, rounded up to the next 5. The next two tiers derive from the threshold. Your own numbers beat ours: change them above. Once installed, the app reads your real order history and suggests thresholds from it, market by market.

FAQ

Questions merchants ask

Should the threshold be the same in every country?

No. Shipping costs and average carts differ by market: the app lets you set a threshold per market, country or region, in its own currency.

What if my average order is far above the threshold?

Then most carts already qualify and you are paying for shipping you could condition. Raise the threshold, or add a second tier above it: a gift or a discount.

Is the rule a guarantee?

No: it is a starting point. The bar’s statistics show how many carts reach each tier; adjust from there.
