### What is "Free shipping program" feature?

**Free shipping program** lets customers redeem their points for free shipping on their orders. When customers use their points, they receive a unique coupon code that removes shipping costs from their purchase. For example, customers might spend 100 points to get free shipping on their next order.

### Why do you need this feature?

**Free shipping** is one of the most powerful incentives in e-commerce. By letting customers use points for free shipping, you can reduce cart abandonment, encourage larger purchases, and provide a compelling reason for customers to return to your store. This feature is particularly effective for stores that deal with significant shipping costs or compete with marketplaces offering free shipping.
