When you select to send store credit from yayloh, we generate & send a discount code from your Shopify store. This discount code does not apply to the shipping cost at the checkout by default.
If you wish to offer free shipping at check out for your customer, Shopify allows you to add a small script/code to your store's back office. You can choose only one of two scripts below to add to your Shopify store based on your preference:
You can follow the instructions given below based on the script you choose.
Option 1: Discount shipping cost
Adding this script will discount the shipping cost when a discount code with the prefix of "YAY" is used at check out.
Add the Script to your Shopify:

Open ‘Script Editor’ from the side menu bar of your Shopify store.
Click on “Create script” button.
Select “Blank template” and click on “Create script”.
Title your script as 'yayloh checkout script to discount shipping cost'.
Open the code layout for the script and paste the code given below.
discount = if Input.cart.discount_code.code.start_with?("YAY")
1
else
0
end
message = "Free shipping with your discount code"
Input.shipping_rates.each do |shipping_rate|
next unless shipping_rate.source == "Shopify"
shipping_rate.apply_discount(shipping_rate.price * discount, message: message)
end
Output.shipping_rates = Input.shipping_ratesThe code layout should look the same as the script depicted below.
Save your script as a draft.
