What Is Better Shipping?

Better shipping lets you set suitable shipping rates so you are not out of pocket.

Do you have specialty items that take extra care to ship? Do you have multiple suppliers who charge flat shipping for items? Use Better Shipping to set the shipping rate accordingly.

Using 'per product' shipping prices lets you set shipping prices for each one of your products. This means that you can set $5.00 shipping for one of your products, $7.50 for another one, and have free shipping on a third product - it's up to you!

You also have the option for tiered shipping. This means that you can set multiple shipping rates for an item depending on the quantity the customer buys. Want to charge $10 for the first item, and then $5 for every extra item? Better Shipping has you covered!

Need to charge different shipping rates for different areas? Using the delivery areas feature you are able to set the shipping rate for individual zip/post codes.

Only send your products to certain areas? No problem! You can restrict delivery to specific zip/post codes.

Should I Be Using Better Shipping In My Store?

• Set individual shipping prices for every product
• Set tiered (multiple) shipping prices for every product

How does it work

• Per Product Shipping Rates - Set a different flat shipping rate for every single product in your store. No need to worry about weight or dimensions
• Location based shipping prices - Set shipping prices for specific areas using zip/post codes
• Restrict delivery to certain locations - Do you only deliver to certain locations? Set them up so that your customers can only ship to those areas
