Adding a handling fee to your Shopify store is a great way to offset the cost of shipping, packaging, and other related expenses. There are a few different ways to add a handling fee, and the method you choose will depend on your specific needs.
If you want to add a handling fee to all orders, you can do so by going to your Shopify admin and navigating to Settings > Shipping. From here, you can scroll down to the Shipping Zones and Rates section and click on the “Add rate” button.
In the “Name” field, you can enter something like “Handling Fee” or “Shipping and Handling”. In the “Rate” field, you can enter the amount you want to charge for shipping and handling. Keep in mind that this amount will be added to the total cost of the order, so be sure to set a price that makes sense for your business.
If you only want to charge a handling fee on certain products, you can do so by creating a shipping rate that applies only to those products. To do this, go to your Shopify admin and navigate to Settings > Shipping. From here, scroll down to the Shipping Zones and Rates section and click on the “Add rate” button. In the “Name” field, you can enter something like “Handling Fee”.
In the “Apply To” field, select the specific product(s) that you want this shipping rate to apply to. Then, in the “Rate” field, enter the amount you want to charge for shipping and handling.
If you want to charge a handling fee on orders that are being shipped to certain locations, you can do so by creating a shipping zone that includes those locations. From here, scroll down to the Shipping Zones and Rates section and click on the “Add zone” button. In the “Zone Name” field, you can enter something like “Handling Fee”.
In the “Apply To” field, select the specific location(s) that you want this shipping zone to apply to. Keep in mind that this amount will be added to the total cost of the order, so be sure to set a price that makes sense for your business.
