Move Free Shipping to top
Show Free Shipping as the first option at checkout.
Free template · imports into Nex Reorder via Rules → Import
Moves Free Shipping to the top of the delivery method list at checkout.
The problem it solves
Free shipping is one of the strongest conversion levers you have — but only if shoppers notice it. When it sits below paid rates in the delivery list, plenty of buyers skim past it or pick a paid option out of habit, and you lose the goodwill you were paying for.
What you get
Puts your most attractive delivery option in the first, most-clicked position.
Reduces accidental paid-rate selection when a free option is available.
Reinforces the “free shipping” message at the exact moment of choice.
No theme or carrier changes — the order is applied at checkout automatically.

- Pair it with a cart-total condition so it only surfaces once the order qualifies for free shipping.
Questions
Move Free Shipping to top
Does this hide the paid shipping rates?
No. Every rate stays available — Free Shipping simply moves to the top of the list. Shoppers can still choose a paid option.
Will Free Shipping show even when the cart doesn’t qualify?
This template only reorders. If your Free Shipping rate already has a cart-value threshold in Shopify, it appears (and moves to the top) only when the cart qualifies.
Do I need to edit my theme?
No. Import the template and activate it — Nex Reorder applies the delivery order at checkout with no code.
