How Do I Set Up Shipping for Dropshipping on Shopify?

Last updated on January 8, 2023 @ 5:58 am

When you’re just starting out, the thought of shipping can be daunting. You have to figure out how to get your products to your customers, and how much it’s going to cost you. If you’re dropshipping on Shopify, there are a few options available to you.

    Option 1: Use Shopify’s Carrier-Calculated Shipping

    Shopify has a built-in shipping calculator that gets rates from major shipping carriers like UPS, FedEx, and DHL. To use it, you’ll need to set up a Shopify plan that supports carrier-calculated shipping. Then, you’ll need to add your products and connect your store to a shipping carrier. Once you do that, the shipping calculator will automatically show up on your checkout page.

    Option 2: Use a Third-Party Shipping App

    There are a number of third-party apps that can help you with shipping.
    They offer features like printing shipping labels and tracking orders. Some popular options include Shipstation, ShippingEasy, and Ordoro. These apps typically offer discounted rates on shipping, which can save you money.

    Option 3: Use Shopify’s Flat Rate Shipping

    If you don’t want to use Shopify’s carrier-calculated shipping or a third-party app, you can always offer flat rate shipping. With flat rate shipping, you charge one price for shipping, no matter where the customer is located. You can set up flat rate shipping in your Shopify settings. Just go to “Shipping” and then “Create a new zone.” From there, you can add the countries that you want to ship to and set your prices.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to set up shipping for dropshipping on Shopify, there are a few things you need to be aware of. First, you will need to have a Shopify account and be logged in. Second, you will need to have a dropshipping supplier that offers shipping to your country. And finally, you will need to set up your shipping settings in Shopify.

Before you begin, please note that setting up shipping for dropshipping can be complicated and time-consuming. If you are not familiar with the process, we recommend that you seek help from a professional.
