New Shipping Rate Flexibility for Collective Suppliers

New Shipping Rate Flexibility for Collective Suppliers

Shopify Updates: 

Flexible Shipping Rates for Your Price Lists

Suppliers can now enjoy greater flexibility by setting flat or calculated shipping rates when creating price lists. This feature allows you to tailor shipping rates to different products instead of adhering to a single flat rate for everything.

How to Configure Your Shipping Rates

  • Flat Rates: Define specific rates for each shipping zone you serve, ensuring transparency and predictability for your retailers.
  • Calculated Rates: Use the 'Calculated at checkout' option to apply the rates configured in your shipping profiles dynamically.

By offering these options, suppliers can align shipping costs more closely with product-specific requirements.

Benefits for Retailers

Retailers leveraging your shipping rates can offer customers accurate, real-time shipping costs directly at checkout. This is made possible through live rate-fetching from your store, improving customer satisfaction and trust.

Where to Set Your Shipping Rates

You can find a new ‘Shipping’ section when creating a price list or editing an existing one. Any updates to your flat shipping rates or calculation methods will automatically notify retailers assigned to active price lists. This ensures seamless communication and avoids potential discrepancies.
