Updated over 7 months ago

1. Navigate to the Vendor Dashboard

2. A Shipping Zone is a geographical area to which you ship items. You can get as specific as you need, right down to regions and zip codes, or you can leave it more general – whichever suits you best.

Click Settings > Shipping

3. Hover over your zone of choice and select Edit.

4. Select the States covered in your zone. Or restrict by zip code.

5. Click "Add Shipping Method"

6. Select Add Shipping Method to create Flat Rate, Free Shipping, or Local Pickup.

7. In this example Flat Rate was chosen. Click "Add Shipping Method" once you have filled out the information.

8.

9. With Flat Rate: You can further customize flat rate shipping by assigning conditional rates to classes. Shipping classes are available for the Flat Rate method only.

\

  1. Edit the shipping Title that displays to customer during checkout. For example "Flat Rate Shipping (3-5 Business Days)".\

  2. Enter a Cost.\

  3. Enter a Description.
    To group a particular set of products for separate shipping price, enter the Shipping Class Cost.
    The Cost field allows you to charge a flat rate per item, a percentage based cost or a minimum fee.

10. Available placeholders:

[qty] – Number of products in the cart
[fee] – An additional fee. This fee has two optional arguments.
percent – A percentage based on total order cost.
min_fee – A minimum amount. Useful when using percentages.
max_fee – A maximum amount. Useful when using percentages.
Examples:
10 + ( 2 [qty] ) – A base shipping cost of $10 plus $2 for each item in the cart.
20 + [fee percent="10" min_fee="4"] – A base shipping cost of $20 plus 10% of the order total, which is at least $4.

Tip: Please note that shipping classes won't apply unless you specify them from Your Product Page. After specifying your shipping classes, read below to learn how to apply them to specific products.

11. 1. Go to your Vendor Dashboard > select Products > select the product you want to add a shipping class to by hovering over the product name and select Edit.
