You can apply a shipping discount to a customer's order. When you apply a shipping discount, it reduces the cost of the shipping rate for the customer.
You can display the shipping discount in the cart and the order summary. The cart shows the discounted amount for the Shipping value.
In the order summary, the original shipping rate will appear with a strikethrough next to the discounted rate following each shipping method. This allows the customer to see the shipping discount applied to the order.

Select Marketing, select Offers and Programs, and then click Create Offer. The Type step on the Create Offer page appears.
Type the name of the offer in the Name field and provide a description of the offer in the Description field.
