# How to configure WC - APG Free Shipping 2.0?

[![Shipping zones. Final configuration](https://artprojectgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/zonas-de-envio-configuracion-final.webp)](https://artprojectgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/zonas-de-envio-configuracion-final.webp)Having learnt how to configure its big brother [**WC - APG Weight Shipping**](/woocommerce-plugins/wc-apg-weight-shipping) in [How to configure WC - APG Weight Shipping 2.0?](/how-to-configure-wc-apg-weight-shipping-2-0), we are now going to learn how to configure **[WC - APG Free Shipping](/woocommerce-plugins/wc-apg-free-shipping)** correctly.

To learn how to configure the plugin for WooCommerce we are going to start from the configuration we created in the tutorial we devoted to its big brother, and we are going to carry out the following configuration:

- Free shipping costs for orders over €100.00 except in the Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla, Gibraltar and the Azores.

## Installation

The first thing we have to do, in case you have not already done so, is, obviously, to install the plugin for WooCommerce **WC - APG Free Shipping**. We remind you that to do so you can upload the folder *woocommerce-apg-free-postcodestatecountry-shipping* to the */wp-content/plugins/* directory by FTP, or upload the complete ZIP file via *Plugins -> Add New -> Upload* in the administration panel of your WordPress installation, or simply by searching for WC - APG Free Shipping in *Plugins -> Add New*. Once it has been uploaded, or installed, you have to activate it.

## Configuration

[![Add free shipping method](https://artprojectgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/anadir-metodo-de-envio-gratuito.webp)](https://artprojectgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/anadir-metodo-de-envio-gratuito.webp)

Once we have **WC - APG Free Shipping** installed and active, you can begin its configuration in *WooCommerce -> Settings -> Shipping*. There you will come across the new *Shipping zones*, and that is where we are going to start.

To begin with, we are going to select the Mainland shipping zone and we are going to add a new shipping method to it; to do so we click on the icon with the + symbol, in this case we select *APG free shipping* and we click on *Add shipping method*. In this very simple way we will add a second shipping method to the Mainland shipping zone.

[![Free shipping costs. Configuration of Mainland](https://artprojectgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/gastos-de-envio-gratuitos-configuracion-de-peninsula.webp)](https://artprojectgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/gastos-de-envio-gratuitos-configuracion-de-peninsula.webp)Now we must click on *APG free shipping* in order to reach the configuration page of **WC - APG Free Shipping**. There we are going to configure the free shipping cost we need. We will come across the following fields:

- *Method title*: in this field we must put the title of the shipping method. In our example we have put *Free shipping*.
- *Free shipping requires…*: in this field we must select what is required for the free shipping to be activated. In our example we have selected *A minimum order amount OR a coupon*.
- *Minimum order amount*: here we must indicate the minimum amount from which we will not charge shipping costs. In our example we have put *100*.
- *Show only APG Free Shipping*: if we tick this field the rest of the shipping costs will not be shown. In our example we have ticked it.

> There is an additional field that is only visible if you have shipping classes configured, which is called No shipping (Shipping class). In it you can indicate one, several or all the shipping classes (although there is no sense at all in selecting them all), whose products will not be taken into account when calculating the minimum amount of the order. That is to say that if a shipping class A is selected and the total amount of the order, excluding the products that belong to shipping class A, adds up to €100.00, the free shipping cost will be activated; otherwise it will not, even though the total amount of the order is higher than €100.00.

Once the configuration is finished we will already have free shipping costs for orders over €100.00 in Spain, Portugal and Andorra, but, given that our configuration must include the Balearic Islands and exclude the Azores, we still have some configurations left.

To add the free shipping cost in our example, we have to clone this same *APG free shipping* shipping method in the Balearic Islands, Formentera and Mallorca shipping zones.

Finally we have to create a new shipping zone called Azores, and in order to be able to select this Portuguese district, which does not come by default in WooCommerce, we are going to install and activate the plugin by our friend Marco Almeida [Portugal States (Distritos) for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/portugal-states-distritos-for-woocommerce/). In this shipping zone we will have to clone the shipping costs we had active for Portugal, if they are the same as in our example, so that everything carries on working correctly.

## Result

The final result of the configuration of the shipping zones and shipping methods must be similar to this:

And on the shopping cart page free shipping must appear for orders over €100.00 in all our shipping zones except the Azores, the Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla and Gibraltar.
