There are two ways you can add a per-item fee to a specific product: For these products you can set up an individual, fixed per-item fee to cover these extra shipping expenses. Some products in your store may require additional handling or packaging, or they may be much larger than other products that you ship. To offer free shipping over a certain subtotal, while still charging a flat rate for a lower subtotal, use tiered rates. Now the newly configured flat rate will be available at checkout for customers ordering goods to that location. Then specify the minimum order subtotal, that is, the sum of all items in the cart before adding shipping costs and discounts.Ĭlick “Limit availability to operating hours” if you want local delivery to be available to customers only on certain days of the week or business hours and set the necessary limitations.Ĭlick “Set shipping zone” to specify the destination to which this flat rate applies. Select either an Amount or Percent rate and then enter the shipping cost or percentage.Ĭlick “Add description for customers” and enter the details you want to display at checkout, if necessary.Ĭlick “Limit availability by order subtotal,” if you want to offer this shipping method only to customers with orders over a certain amount. Customers will see this name at checkout. Update the name of this shipping method, if necessary.

Select how you ship your goods (by a shipping carrier or a local delivery service) and click “Set up.” To set up a flat rate per order in your store: Flat-rate shipping is well suited for stores selling items where shipping costs are negligible, all items are approximately the same size and weight, or you deliver orders yourself. A flat rate can be a whole amount or a percentage of the order subtotal. With a flat rate per order, you can charge a single rate to ship all orders to specific locations, regardless of how many items are ordered. You can also charge a flat rate based on how many units of a product are in the cart, if quantity matters or if you need to charge extra to ship certain products, such as large or fragile items. This is useful if you want to deliver products yourself or offer your own fixed cost for different delivery methods. You can charge your customers a flat shipping rate for any order, regardless of quantity.
