How Is Shipping Paid for on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 12:53 pm

Shipping is one of the most important aspects of online shopping, and it can be one of the most expensive. That’s why it’s important to know how shipping is paid for on Shopify.

PRO TIP: When setting up shipping for your Shopify store, it is important to be aware of how shipping is paid for. By default, Shopify will charge the customer for shipping, but you can also choose to have Shopify pay for shipping.

If you choose to have Shopify pay for shipping, be aware that this will be reflected in your costs. Make sure to factor this into your pricing so that you are not losing money on shipping.

There are two ways to pay for shipping on Shopify: through the use of shipping rates, or by using a shipping calculator. Shipping rates are set by Shopify, and they can be found in the Shipping section of your shop’s settings. To use a shipping calculator, you’ll need to install the Shopify Shipping app.

Once you’ve installed the app, you can set up your shipping calculator by going to the app’s settings and choosing which countries you’d like to ship to, as well as your preferred shipping method (air, ground, or express). You can also set up your shipping calculator to show estimated delivery times, so your customers will know when to expect their items.

Shipping rates can be a great way to save money on shipping, but they’re not always the best option. If you’re selling items that are heavy or bulky, you may want to use a shipping calculator so you can offer your customers more accurate shipping rates.
