# How to set up a free shipping threshold for your LIVE

Palmstreet’s **free shipping threshold** lets you offer free shipping to buyers who spend over a set amount during a single LIVE. Buyers pay for items only during the LIVE, and shipping is calculated and settled automatically after the LIVE ends.

This helps encourage buyers to bundle purchases during a single livestream, keeps checkout fast, and reduces the need to manually follow up on shipping fees.

### How to set it up

1. When creating a LIVE, turn on **“Free shipping threshold”**
2. Set a minimum spend amount (currently **$99 by default**)
3. Go live

**Important:** The free shipping threshold must be set **before** your LIVE starts and can’t be changed once you’re live.

### How it works

#### During the LIVE

* Buyers pay for items only.
* Buyers can see whether free shipping is available and how much they need to spend to qualify.

**Important:** Free shipping applies only to orders placed during the **same LIVE.**

#### After the LIVE ends

* Orders from the same LIVE are grouped together.
* If the buyer **meets your free shipping threshold**, shipping is **free.**
* If not, the system **automatically charges** the shipping fee to the buyer’s default payment method.

If the automatic charge is unsuccessful, the buyer will receive a notification to complete the shipping payment.

#### If shipping isn’t paid

* If the buyer doesn’t pay the shipping fee within the payment window, you can choose to cancel the order.
