Streamlined Shipping Profiles for Collective Retailers
Shopify Collective retailers now have access to a simplified carrier shipping profile. This enhanced feature makes it easier than ever to offer accurate, live-calculated shipping rates directly at checkout, improving the overall shopping experience for your customers.
How It Works
Suppliers can configure their shipping rates either as flat rates or calculated rates through their price lists. Here’s a breakdown of the options:
- Flat Shipping Rates: Pre-determined fixed rates that simplify shipping costs for standard scenarios.
- Calculated Shipping Rates: Dynamic rates derived from rules set by the supplier, updating live at checkout based on variables like order size or destination.
Boost Sales with Flexible Shipping Incentives
Suppliers can utilize calculated rates to offer enticing deals, such as “free shipping for orders over a certain amount.” This strategy not only encourages larger orders but also reduces cart abandonment, helping retailers increase their average order value.
Maintain Full Control Over Shipping
Although suppliers provide live rates, retailers retain complete control over what their customers see at checkout. Use custom shipping profiles or free shipping discounts to create a tailored shipping strategy that aligns with your brand and business goals.
