Shipping setup for Shopify

If you’re just getting started with Shopify, then you might be wondering how to set up shipping for your store. Luckily, Shopify makes it easy to set up shipping for your store, no matter what size or type of business you have. In this article, we’ll show you how to set up shipping for your Shopify store.

First, you’ll need to log in to your Shopify account and go to the Shipping page. On this page, you’ll see all of the shipping options that are available to you. To get started, simply select the option that best suits your needs.

If you’re just starting out, we recommend using the Flat Rate shipping option. With this option, you’ll be able to charge a flat rate for shipping, no matter how many items are in your order. This is a great option for small businesses or businesses that don’t ship very often.

To set up Flat Rate shipping, first go to the Shipping page in your Shopify admin. Then, click on the “Add a new shipping method” button. In the “Name” field, enter the name of your shipping method. This is what your customers will see when they check out, so make it something that makes sense for your business.

Next, in the “Price” field, enter the price you want to charge for shipping. This can be a flat rate or a percentage of the order total. If you want to offer free shipping, you can enter “0” in the “Price” field. You can also offer free shipping for orders over a certain amount by entering a number in the “Free shipping if order is over” field.

For example, if you enter “100” in the “Free shipping if order is over” field, then your customers will get free shipping on orders that are over $100. Once you’ve entered all of the information for your shipping method, click on the “Save shipping method” button to save your changes.

Now that you’ve set up shipping for your store, you’re ready to start selling.
