Free Shipping Threshold Calculator

What is the free shipping threshold calculator?

A free-shipping threshold works when it is high enough to cover the shipping cost out of the extra margin it generates, and low enough that customers will actually stretch to it. This calculator derives a threshold from your current average order value, gross margin and shipping cost, and checks that the margin on an order at that threshold still absorbs the postage.
