# How do I change the free shipping message in the cart?

### What you are seeing <a href="#what-you-are-seeing" id="what-you-are-seeing"></a>

The cart drawer shows a free shipping message that does not match your actual offer. The wording is the demo text, the amount is wrong, or the message tells customers they qualify when they do not.

### Why it happens <a href="#why-it-happens" id="why-it-happens"></a>

* **The demo wording is still in place.** The message is theme content, so it stays as installed until you edit it.
* **The threshold does not match your shipping rates.** The message is driven by the amount set in the theme, not by your Shopify shipping profile. If the two disagree, the message is wrong.
* **The message is switched off in the cart drawer**, so nothing shows at all.

### How to change the message <a href="#how-to-change" id="how-to-change"></a>

{% hint style="success" %}
**Steps:**

1. Go to **Online Store > Themes > Customize**.
2. Open **Theme settings > Cart**.
3. Find the **Free shipping message** group.
4. Edit **Message** with your own wording, using `[amount]` where the remaining amount should appear.
5. Set **Free shipping minimum amount** to the order value that qualifies. Enter whole numbers only, with no currency symbol.
6. Click **Save**.
   {% endhint %}

*Result:* the message in the cart updates as items are added, and tells the customer exactly how much more they need to spend.

{% hint style="info" %}
Nothing appears if the message is turned off for the cart drawer itself. Check **Show free shipping message** in the [Cart drawer](/velare/customize-your-pages/overlay-group/cart-drawer.md) section as well.
{% endhint %}

The full list of options, including where the message appears when the cart is empty, is on the [Cart](/velare/customize-your-pages/cart.md) page.

### When to contact support <a href="#when-to-contact-support" id="when-to-contact-support"></a>

Contact support if the message shows a number that does not match the amount you set, if it keeps saying the customer qualifies when the cart is below the threshold, or if `[amount]` is printed on the storefront instead of being replaced by a figure.

Send this with your first message:

* Your store URL.
* A screenshot of the cart drawer showing the wrong message, with the cart total visible.
* The exact wording you entered in **Message** and the value in **Free shipping minimum amount**.
* Theme name and version: **Vélare 1.0.0**, shown under the theme name in **Online Store > Themes**.
* A [staff account](/velare/help-and-faqs/staff-account.md) for the support team.

```
GET https://uxsmart.gitbook.io/velare/help-and-faqs/change-free-shipping-message.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
