Understanding How Free Shipping and Promotional Discounts Work Together

Updated: October 20, 2026

At SUI WASSER, we want our customers to get the most value from our promotional offers. We’ve configured our checkout system to allow customers to combine promotional discount codes with free shipping and local delivery.

However, there’s one important detail about how Squarespace calculates eligibility for free shipping.

Free Shipping on Orders Over $50

SUI WASSER offers:

• FREE Standard Shipping on qualifying orders over $50.

• FREE Local Delivery on qualifying orders over $50 within our designated delivery area.

• Promotional discount codes, including our 25% first-order offer, which can be combined with free shipping when the order meets the minimum purchase requirement.

How Discounts Affect Free Shipping Eligibility

The $50 minimum is calculated AFTER promotional discounts have been applied.

This means your merchandise total must remain above $50 after any applicable coupon or promotional discount.

For example, suppose you’re using our first-order discount code, OUTSIDE25, which provides 25% off eligible products.

Order Details

Amount

• Original merchandise subtotal: $56.00

• OUTSIDE25 discount (25%): −$14.00

• Discounted merchandise subtotal: $42.00

• Free shipping minimum: $50.00

Free shipping eligibility: Not eligible

Because the discounted merchandise subtotal falls below $50, standard shipping or local delivery charges will apply.

How to Combine Both Offers

Customers can receive both the 25% introductory discount and free shipping by ensuring their merchandise subtotal remains above $50 after the discount.

For example:

Order Details

Amount

• Original merchandise subtotal: $80.00

• OUTSIDE25 discount (25%): −$20.00

• Discounted merchandise subtotal: $60.00

• Standard Shipping: FREE

• Total before applicable taxes: $60.00

Free shipping eligibility: Eligible

A Note About Local Delivery

Customers within our designated local delivery area can also take advantage of this offer.

During our October 20, 2026 checkout testing, we confirmed that Squarespace successfully combined:

• The OUTSIDE25 promotional discount.

• The automatic free-shipping promotion.

• Free Local Delivery on qualifying orders.

The checkout displays the original delivery charge and then applies an offsetting discount, reducing the delivery cost to $0.

What About Expedited Shipping?

FedEx 2Day shipping is available at checkout for customers who need faster delivery.

Expedited shipping rates are calculated separately and are not included in our standard free-shipping promotion.

Our Commitment

We believe shopping for outdoor skincare should be straightforward.

That’s why we’ve tested our checkout process to verify that promotional discounts, standard shipping, and local delivery are calculated correctly.

The bottom line:

YES! You can combine your promotional discount with FREE Standard Shipping or FREE Local Delivery on qualifying orders over $50 after discounts.

Stock up on your favorite SUI WASSER skincare essentials, take advantage of available promotions, and let us cover the standard shipping or qualifying local delivery costs.

One additional recommendation

For the homepage promotional banners, I’d use a shorter statement:

FREE SHIPPING + FREE LOCAL DELIVERY ON ORDERS OVER $50

Qualifying order total must exceed $50 after discounts. Promotional codes can be combined.

This communicates the important qualification without overwhelming the design.

One small distinction: Our checkout tests establish how the current SUI WASSER configuration behaves. They don’t necessarily establish how every Squarespace store calculates promotional discounts.

That makes this guidance specific to our store and supported by our actual testing.
