How do I do flat rate shipping on Shopify?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 3:09 am

When it comes to shipping, Shopify offers a flat rate shipping option that is perfect for smaller orders. To use this feature, simply add the following code to your Shopify checkout page:

{% if order.quantity > 1 %}

{% include “flatrate-shipment.html” %}

{% endif %}

Once this code is included, customers will see the flat rate shipping option when they check out. To calculate the shipping cost, simply add the weight of the order to the flat rate shipping price.

PRO TIP: When using Shopify to set up flat rate shipping, please be aware that this may not be the most accurate method for shipping your orders. This is because the flat rate is applied to all orders, regardless of weight or destination. If you have products that vary greatly in weight or are shipping to multiple destinations, you may want to consider using a different shipping method.

For example, if you want to charge $10 for shipping and the order weighs 1 pound, the shipping cost would be $10. If the order weighs 10 pounds, the shipping cost would be $60.
