Understanding Shipping Models

Choose the right shipping strategy to match your products and pricing. We offer two powerful models to handle postage for your customers.

Model 1: Tiered Rates

This is the classic model, ideal for sellers with items of varying sizes and weights. You set a 'base rate' for the first item in the cart and a smaller, additional fee for every other item.

• Example: You might set a 'Standard Tracked' rate with a $6 base fee and a $2 additional item fee.
• Best for: Mixed baskets containing both large and small items (e.g., a jar of jam and a bag of potatoes).

Model 2: Cart-Based Shipping Bands

This model encourages buyers to spend more by tying the shipping cost to the total value of their cart. You create simple price brackets.

• Example:
• Orders under $20 → $8 shipping
• Orders from $20 to $50 → $5 shipping
• Orders over $50 → Free shipping

Go to your Dashboard → Settings → Delivery & Shipping to choose your model and set your rates.
