Creating a Free Shipping Promotion
Free shipping is always a good sales motivator for consumers shopping on your website. The Mydakis.com portal will allow you to create free shipping promotions for your online store.
1) Head to the promotions tab within the Mydakis.com portal
2) Free shipping can be created as an item promotion or as a cart promotion. Figure out if you want to offer free shipping on specific items / categories or if free shipping will be offered site wide.

3) In either Item or Cart promotion, depending on your use case, select the Free shipping promotion type, this will open up the promotion creation dialog screen.
