# Limit free shipping to certain shipping methods

> Give the reward only on standard shipping, leave out express, or skip rates over a set price.

Open the **Free shipping** tier and change **Apply to**. Choose **Specific shipping methods** or **All shipping methods except…**, then pick your methods. To skip expensive rates, tick **Exclude shipping rates over amount**.

## Pick the methods

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store** → **Cart Drawer**.
2. Click **Edit** on your cart.
3. Under **Body**, open **Reward bar**.
4. Open your **Free shipping** tier.
5. Under **Shipping methods**, set **Apply to**:
   - **All shipping methods:** every rate.
   - **Specific shipping methods:** only the ones you pick.
   - **All shipping methods except…:** every rate but the ones you pick. New shipping methods qualify unless you exclude them.
6. Click **Select shipping methods**.
7. Tick your methods and click **Save selection**. You see how many you selected.
8. Click **Save**.

## Skip expensive rates

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store** → **Cart Drawer**.
2. Click **Edit** on your cart.
3. Under **Body**, open **Reward bar**.
4. Open your **Free shipping** tier.
5. Tick **Exclude shipping rates over amount**.
6. Enter **Maximum shipping rate**, in your store's currency.
7. Click **Save**.

A rate at the maximum still qualifies. A rate above it gets no discount.

## Keep your selection in sync

We match methods by name and destination. Fixed rates also match by price.

After you change a method's name, price or destinations in Shopify:

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store** → **Cart Drawer**.
2. Click **Edit** on your cart.
3. Under **Body**, open **Reward bar**.
4. Open your **Free shipping** tier.
5. Click **Select shipping methods**.
6. Replace anything under **Unavailable selections**.
7. Click **Save selection**.
8. Click **Save**.

Until you do:

- With **Specific shipping methods**, the changed method gets no discount.
- With **All shipping methods except…**, a renamed method stops being excluded. It gets the discount.

## Good to know

- Your shopper's address must be inside the selected method's destinations.
- Long method lists use up reward settings space. **All shipping methods except…** is shorter if you leave out only a few.

## If it doesn't work

- **"Shipping access is missing. Reload the editor to review and grant this permission.":** click **Reload editor** and approve the access.
- **"No active shipping methods are available.":** add shipping rates in Shopify first.
- **"Select at least one shipping method.":** pick a method or go back to **All shipping methods**.
- **"Enter a maximum shipping rate.":** fill in the amount or untick the box.
