agree  Lori Cirefice: this is the right idea, maybe someone will find better wording, the idea is that to get pre-paid shipping terms, purchaser has to meet a minimum order value/qty

Explanation:
so the phrase reads "confirming... free shipping". Seems to me that this is the intent of the FR. Where does the idea of "eligible orders" come in? "pre-paid compliance", IMHO, is going to confuse the average EN punter.

neutral  Lori Cirefice: IMO, respect here indicates that some parameter has to be met, therefore it's more than just free shipping, they need to confirm that it's eligible for free shipping

  -> I think use of the word "respect" is merely a characteristically French way of reflecting anxiety (about cash). If the meaning were any more fancy than this they'd have to say sthg about what the supposed conditions were.

neutral  cc in nyc: Where? From Lori Cirefice's comment on Odette Grille's answer: "the idea is that to get pre-paid shipping terms, purchaser has to meet a minimum order value/qty." That's all – no mystery. But I could be mistaken. ;-) // Suggested by "respect"
4 hrs
  -> Ummmmm... where does the idea come from the source text? see above reply to Lori's "neutre" // yup, just means "oy, make sure you pay"
