Setting up shipping rates

You can set up free, flat, or calculated shipping rates that appear in the checkout for your customers. Learn more about thedifferent types of shipping rates.

Before you create any shipping rates, make sure to get familiar withshipping zonesandshipping profiles. Shipping zones are a group of countries or regions that you create for your shipping rates and shipping profiles let you set up shipping rates for specific products and locations.

Create flat shipping rates

Flat shipping rates charge a specific amount for shipping at checkout. You can create flat shipping rates for any order within a shipping zone, or only for orders whose weight or price is within a certain range. For example, in a shipping zone for Europe, you could set a flat rate of $10, and another flat rate of $5 for orders that are over $50.

When combining price-based shipping rates, Shopify combines rates that apply to the total price of the cart. When combining weight-based shipping rates, Shopify combines rates that apply to the weights of the individual products, with yourdefault packageweight added to each product. For more information, refer toCombined shipping rates.

For example, suppose that you have a shipping rate calledDiscounted shippingfor $5 in two different profiles. This rate is available on orders over $50. If an order contains a combination of products from both profiles and has a total of $55, then the checkout shows theDiscounted shippingrate at a cost of $10.

相反,假设你有一个航运率calledDiscounted shippingin two different profiles that gives cheaper shipping on orders over 5 kg. To receive this rate, customers would need to order 5 kg of products from the first shipping profile and 5 kg of products from the second shipping profile to qualify for theDiscounted shippingrate.

Steps:

1. From your Shopify admin, go toSettings>Shipping and delivery.

2. Next to the shipping profile that you want to add a shipping rate to, clickManage.

3. Next to the zone that you want to add a rate to, clickAdd rate.

4. Enter the name and amount for the rate.

5. Optional: Add weight-based or price-based conditions.

   1. ClickAdd conditions.
   2. Select whether to base the condition on order weight or price.
   3. Enter the minimum and maximum value for the condition.

6. ClickDone, and then clickSave.

Create calculated shipping rates

Calculated shipping rates are determined at checkout by a third-party shipping service based on the details of the order. This helps you charge your customers the exact amount that a shipping carrier, such as UPS or FedEx, will charge you when you purchase a shipping label.

Carrier-calculated rates are available to stores in the following scenarios:

• If you're in the United States and useShopify Shipping, then you can add calculated rates from USPS, DHL, and UPS.
• If you're in Canada and useShopify Shipping, then you can add calculated rates from Canada Post.
• If the carrier-calculated shipping feature is on your store's Shopify subscription plan, then you can add rates from your own account with USPS, FedEx, UPS, and Canada Post, as well as any calculated rates from any shipping apps. Before you can add your own rates from any shipping carriers, you need to add your carrier accounts to your shipping settings in Shopify. Learn aboutThird-party carrier-calculated shipping rates.
• If you're in Australia and useShopify Shipping, then you can add calculated rates from Sendle for both domestic and international shipping. The postcode and suburb of the fulfillment location need to match for you to generate a quote. You can check and edit this inSettings>Locations.

When you add carrier-calculated shipping rates, you also need to enter accurate weights for each of your products so that you can provide accurate shipping rates to your customers at checkout.

Carrier-calculated运费经常显示交货pected transit time next to the shipping rate at checkout, but they don't include your processing time. You can display delivery dates at checkout that include your processing time and transit time. To learn more, refer toSetting up delivery dates.

Mark up or discount calculated rates

You can adjust calculated shipping rates to mark up or discount the rates that your customers see at checkout. For example, if the rate is too high to attract customers, then you could discount it by a certain percentage to increase sales. Instead, if for example the rate is too low to cover your packaging and handling costs, then you can increase it.

You can mark up calculated shipping rates by an additional flat fee or by a percentage of the total shipping rate. If you adjust a calculated shipping rate to include both an additional flat fee and a percentage markup, then the percentage is calculated before the flat fee is added. For example, a $5.00 rate with 50% markup and a $1.00 flat fee costs the customer $8.50, not $9.00.

If you want to offer discounted shipping, then enter a negative value. For example,-5% or $-2.50.

Steps:

1. From your Shopify admin, go toSettings>Shipping and delivery.

2. Next to the profile that contains the rate, clickManage.

3. Next to the rate that you want to adjust, click the...drop-down menu and thenEdit rate.

4. In theHandling fee部分,设置速度调整。

5. ClickDone, then clickSave.
