I'm Shopify store owner since about couple of months and I'm still struggling to set up all the Shopify Settings for my POD business store.

How about a video on ' cash flow management ' between a customer's order and when you the store owner actually gets paid ? This is never addressed yet can be a real hindrance to cash strapped startups who are strictly dripshippers via 3rd party fulfillment companies who must be paid prior to shipping to your customers . Thank you for the professional job you always do .
I've been bingewatching all your videos and they are so helpful. Since you asked for suggestions. I am a small business owner that is starting a gift shop in Mexico working with artisans there to create meaningful memorable gifts. I feel that most of the shopity videos are geared towards US and Canada, even though Mexico is a very large trade partner to the US and exports a lot of products. It would be great if you make something that would help those of us who are operating out of Mexico selling in mexico and to the US and Canada. Thank you
How do you go about building the shipping costs in with the price of your products? I would like to calculate an average shipping fee based on measurements and weight and not hassle with the fee every order and with multiple shippers. I would just like to use USPS. I would like to just offer free shipping without going broke or over charging the customer. How do you set that up in Shopify shipping.
This is great, thank you. And I was especially excited when you mentioned a downloadable shipping calculator, however, unless I'm missing something, there are no formulas in the spreadsheet. All of the values are static.
Thanks for putting this video together, much appreciated. Our fundamental issue is Canada Post Carrier does not calculate shipping costs properly as the calculation is only based on weight and distance. It does not consider the dimensions of the package. The maximum weight for CPC is 30 Kg, so when the total order is heavier than that, CPC can't calculate a shipping cost at all. It has no idea that this order will require 3 boxes. As for charging shipping, if we increase the price to include shipping our prices appear higher than our competitors when they search Google Shopping. Our margins on our business do not allow us to absorb shipping (as we ship throughout Canada and USA). Lastly with over 1,000 products and shipping costs varying from local to across the country, we were unable to create flat rate shipping (especially when clients order multiple awards) that work for us. If there are some solutions out there, let us know.
I cannot thank you enough for this video. After searching and viewing many other videos, I finally found the information I needed in a straight forward presentation.
@@learnwithshopifyMy question is not so much apt but plz ans: can I send products from my nearest post office bcz sopify shows the options of only about Dhl or Usp or usps? Nd there are no agent in my area of those 3 shipping method(dhl/usp/usps)
Hi thanks for the informational video, I have a question I need a shipping label app but I don't know which one is good does somebody have a good one? I am really struggling with this. (I am from the netherlands and I want to ship worldwide)
Great video! Is it possible if you could take the customer’s address and write it directly on the package instead of paying & printing it? Would it still ship through your neighbourhood mailbox and to the customer?
Hi Michelle i have a question, I am recently open my Shopify store about fitness Apperal. The question is can I do Drop shipping and shipping from home. us most of the apparel it’s on my house . Do I’m able to do both.
I want to know what exactly are other drop shippers are putting in there shipping and return policy since they don’t actually come in contact with the merchandise. I’m having a hard tome with how to word my policy.
You need to add an option for products that have different shipping rules so that you have the choice to add the shipping costs together or to select just the higher price one. If we have a customer who places an order for products from different product ranges that have different shipping rules the current system adds them all up and charges the customer the total. A simple tick box on the back end to stop this and to just select the highest priced option should be simple to add and make the whole process a lot better.
Hello! I'm new to Shopify and I'm struggling with the saved packages settings. How can I configure custom packages for different products? For example, I've saved small, medium, and large boxes, each for different types of products. However, it appears that Shopify uses the default package to calculate shipping weight and cost. Is there a way to assign specific packages to individual products so Shopify can factor that into the final weight? Let's say I sell small items that can be shipped in a 50 grams box, but other larger items need to be shipped in a 100 grams box. The default package is 50 grams, and it seems like that's the weight Shopify will use to calculate the cost of shipping.
How do you identify where a product has originally come from? i have products that I want to trace back to the source to get the price and shipping info. from to make sure I have the total cost of it.
Here is a question. If I am not American and not living in America and don't have a physical store in America, do we pay nexus tax if supplier in one USA state and customer in a different USA state?
Thanks for this video but if you have both a point of sale and a website, raising your prices to include shipping does not seen viable, any suggestion? And is there a little more in dept video tutorial available? Thanks
Hey, Clody. That's a great point! You certainly don't have to include your shipping prices within the product price. You can have separate shipping prices entirely. There's a ton of great information in our Shopify Help Document: bit.ly/3jI73MR. Please let us know if you have any questions about that.
This was def the most helpful video on shipping so far but not clear enough unfortunately. I live in Sweden and want to ship within the EU and USA. First of all, in your example, what shopify plan are you using? I am set up as basic and i did exactly as you said and no carriers appear. Why? Do I need to upgrade the plan? I just think I must be doing something wrong or shopify is blocked for europe or something. help.
Hey Should we just offer Express shipping vs standard? For example my standard from my supplier is 12-15 days but my express is 3-8 days, Should i just keep the option of express there for they get the producr much faster or will that turn off people because it will be more pricey, i have both standard and express on now but lots of abdan carts price different from standard to express would be 10-15$ What do you think, we want to move our brand to have the product to there house asap 🤔
What abour working with shopify fulfilment but printing the labels and buying them from outside shopify? For example, if you have an account on dhl for business rates etc. How will that work with shopify?
Hey, there! Thanks for reaching out. You can definitley use your own carrier accounts to calculate shipping rates and purchase labels. This would be referred to as third-party carrier-calculated shipping rates, and not necessarily Shopify Shipping (which uses Shopify's own carrier rates). You would need to have Carrier Calculated Shipping enabled on your store which could be an extra monthly charge depending on your plan. We have more information on this here - bit.ly/38RQHzd. Hope that helps!
I am dropshipping using shein importer but there isn’t many videos on it I want to send the product from the supplier after purchase to someone to rebrand at a warehouse then ship to customer without having to send all my products to a warehouse I don’t need storage
Hi there! If you're looking for support for any third-party product sourcing app or service you would need to contact that service directly. You can check out some of the popular product-sourcing apps used by our merchants here in our app store: shopify.link/WYJ7.
I appreciate your videos. You can genuinely see the energy and support given. My concern is Shopify is allow in the Caribbean ( Jamaica) but not Shopify payments. Now we could switch the country to USA ( for example) and start selling ( to the USA market). Is that ok? If and when sales reach taxable levels open an LLC?
Thanks for your kind words, Nicholas! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying these videos. If your business has a physical address in the USA, you can use that as your store address. Otherwise, you will need to stick with the payment providers available in your area. We appreciate your interest in using Shopify Payments, and will be sure to let our developers know that you'd like to see it available in Jamaica too.
I have a question. If you’re doing Shopify shipping, and you pick a carrier like USPS for example, and you got your label and everything ready, do you still need to create an account with USPS for them to get the package?
Hi there, you shouldn't need to create an account though it's an option for those seeking additional features for their business. Here are some more details about Shopify Shipping and USPS. (bit.ly/3Bi0nxo).
Hi there! While we don't provide shipping or delivery services ourselves at Shopify, we do help you to set up your own choices in terms of shipping and delivery: bit.ly/3d7ZlMk.
I have selected a few suppliers and products from them, but now, I need to figure out how to push the products to my store through the dropshipping process. Please advise. Thanks
The videos are very helpful. I have a question is there any way to link certain size packages to certain products. After entering all your packages dimensions it only let you use one of them as a default for all products and it doesn’t make any sense to me. Unless I’m missing something!!!
Hey, there. You can adjust the packages when purchasing shipping labels. However, the online store can only have one default package. That being said, if you need to calculate shipping rates for dimensional packages, then we'd recommend using something like Boxify bit.ly/3TI0fzP. Cheers!
@@learnwithshopify thank you so much for the quick response. I didn’t launch my store yet and I have the real time carrier rate calculations. So the calculations will be off I guess, so I have to keep that in mind so I either add little extra for the product or use the biggest size package I have as the default package and get the highest rate possible is that correct!!!
That is definitely a route you can take! Although, this could be overcharging customers for smaller items (if you're looking to set a higher rate for the biggest package size you have) and may affect the conversion rate. But if this is totally up to you! As mentioned above, you can also take a look at third party apps!
Hey, um not sure if your gonna anwser this but how would you send a product to the customer if your not actully holding the product. Like do I change to address to theirs from aliexpress???
Hey, Jerry! That is absolutely correct. If you use a dropshipping app, usually, it automatically adds the customer address to the AliExpress order. Do you use an app in your store?
Hey Leo, thanks for reaching out. That is a great question! Shopify does allow you to create your own shipping rates based on the weight or number of products that your customer is purchasing: shopify.link/2B56.
How do I ship promotional products that I am not charging for on Shopify. I entered a 100% discount and the shipping (that I will be paying for) went from $11 to $31 because of the 100% discount and 99% discount. Do you have any advice on how to ship out products that we are sending to influencers and get around the astronomical jump in shipping?
Hi there. Glad you enjoyed the video. What free download link are you referring to? The description of the video has all the link useful regarding this video but more than happy to assist you further.
Thank you for sharing these great info. Please can you make a video explaining how we can ship products quickly to customers , I came up lately about Shopify shipping, can you explain deeply please how we can use it, if there's a MQO to start with and the fees. Really appreciate it
Hi Meriyem! Shopify Shipping allows eligible merchants to buy shipping labels with discounted prices directly within their admin. There is no minimum quantity of orders required! If you meet the eligibility requirements - bit.ly/3OMyHcK - then you can ship products using one of the available shipping providers. This works if you are packing and shipping products yourself, but if you are dropshipping the process is a bit different as the supplier is responsible for packaging and shipping. Speeding up shipping times requires a shipping location that is as close to a customer as possible and that the item is shipped in the smallest and lightest (but still safe) packaging available.
Hey, Tron! What kind of shipping template are you looking for specifically? If it's for your shipping labels, we do have a free template available here: bit.ly/3jEieGK. You'll just have to fill in the information on that page, and a shipping label will then be created for you! From there, you can either print the label on sticker paper, or on regular paper to tape to your parcel. Are you using our Shopify Shipping service by any chance? If you are, then you won't need a shipping label template as you can generate and print out a shipping label directly from your Shopify admin: bit.ly/37MJGzc.
I just have a quick simple question here, let's say for example, someone purchases a product from my shopify store, would it automatically get sent to them or would i have to manually set it up from "Shipping and Delivery" in settings? Thank you.
Good question. This completely depends on how your business works. You can either ship the products yourself or use a third-party system to hold and fulfill your orders. If you don't have products already you can sell via dropshipping or print on demand to sell products that are fulfilled by third-party fulfillment systems. Were you already selling online or in-person? -Rio
Hi there! If you're using Shopify Shipping in Canada, Canada Post is currently the only carrier available, and you can read more about that here: bit.ly/3FKeZ9t. If you want to enable Third-party carrier-calculated shipping rates, which allows you to use your own account with a shipping carrier, you will need to contact Shopify Support directly via this link: bit.ly/3eNr2bD. You can read more about carrier-calculated shipping here: bit.ly/32waTUh. I hope this helps!
Hello! What if I need more than 1 box to ship the order? How will shopify know that to calculate for customer at checkout? Not all items will fit in one box most of the times.
Hi, Rebecca. Thanks for reaching out to us! I recommend looking into integrating a shipping app to add custom box sizes based on the product that has the ability to alert the system when an order will be shipped in multiple boxes. For multi-piece shipments, check out the app Shippo (bit.ly/3ksO4Kr) or ShipStation: bit.ly/3m4zaus. Additionally, you can also browse the Shopify App Store (bit.ly/3xQBGXE) for more shipping app options.
hey, guys is it possible to charge a custom shipping rate based on a set of conditions like: 5$ shipping fee for items between 0$ and 20$ and select one carrier for all orders? i would like shopify to route all orders to USPS.
Hi, Omer. This is definitely possible through price-based flat shipping rates. You can learn about that here bit.ly/3KzVTXa. Then when in your shipping settings make sure you only have USPS enabled and you: should be able to solve this: bit.ly/3pUYRMv. -Rio
Im havg trouble assigning package sizes to each product. For example, one of my items is shipped in a small padded envelope while another is shipped in a large 26” box. I want to use the calculate shippg option bc if a customer in CA purchases vs NY the $ rate is very different. Please can you advise? Ive watchd so many of these videos and seem to be missg this detail.
Hey there, Angie. Shipping products and packages of various sizes can make setting up your shipping rates a challenge, but there are third-party apps that can help you with this if you wish to use live rates at checkout. I would recommend checking out Boxify: bit.ly/3pdUR9C. This is an app that allows you to assign different packages to your products, which can help you offer more accurate shipping rates to your customers and have more control over your shipping in general.
Hi, Lisa. Thank you for your message. You can check out our launch checklist here: (bit.ly/3VLQ78X). It is hard to estimate a shipping cost as it depends on many things such as size, distance, countries etc. Are you shipping internationally?
Thank you for that information. That does make it a lot easier. I recommend going to the website of your preferred carrier, as they usually have a shipping calculator, and finding pricing that way. This way you can weigh out your items and know approximately what each product costs to ship.
How is the easiest way for adding a shipping method for "adding to existing order" that will not cost anything - but at the same time NOT be the default shipping method??? It will not accept our Java script code anymore.... :(
Is there a way to ship heavy items? Can you also make a video on that? Seems like Shopify on goes to 68 lbs. I am looking at average shipping weight to be 2000 lbs. can you help on how can I succeed in this using Shopify?
Hi, Ansar. Thanks for your comment. As Shopify Shipping utilizes carrier accounts with various shipping companies, there will be requirements & limits based on the company's various restrictions - this isn't something we can control. For very large and bulky products, it might be best to manually calculate the rates. Have you considered using flat rates instead, and purchasing the shipping labels directly from a shipping company of your choosing?
But what if you have multiple "ship from" locations that have separate accounts for each carrier (say UPS)? Seems like we have have multiple locations for inventory management but not multiple locations grounded in warehouse addresses for carrier accounts.
Thanks for the question! Is this a situation that you're currently experiencing with your own business? Having multiple warehouses sounds like a very large operation, so having different carrier accounts linked to these different warehouse locations would be helpful, depending on the situation! One idea to get around that would be to have your multiple locations set up, and charge a flat shipping rate for products at those locations not linked to a carrier account within the admin of Shopify. From there, your warehouses would be collecting that flat amount, and using that amount to pay for the carrier shipping costs associated with them. If this is something you're currently having issues with for your business, you should consider reaching out to our Live Team at this link, bit.ly/3c5icUc, so you can describe this situation to them, and so they can take a peek at your back-end and determine what sort of things we can do to help.
@@learnwithshopify Yes, it's a current barrier for our business and our shipping partner (which has negotiated rates with UPS at their various locations across the US). However, UPS accounts are all linked to the ship from address, and in order to get the best rates for customers (and for our backend billing), we would need to be able to link multiple UPS accounts so that fulfillment can flow through them and get the best rates for our customers (and our business). We don't want to do flat rates, and this still wouldn't solve the issue of the bills we would get from our shipping partner. We also have a shipping profile that grants customers who spend $25 or more free shipping. In one respect, it's not what's reflected to customers about the UPS accounts. It's what our shipping partner is going to bill us at the end of the month, and that's going to be determined by the best rates out of each locations from each separate UPS account. (NOTE: UPS accounts are linked to ship from addresses. Those are static parts of the accounts. It's confusing to me why Shopify would allow you to manage inventory at different locations but not allow you to list / select different rates from the same carrier for the same shipping service but based on the "ship from" account within UPS or any other carrier).
Thanks for following up! I can totally see how this would be an issue for your business, especially when it's your shipping partner with these negotiated rates. The ability to assign a specific carrier account to a specific location within the Admin would be ideal here, and you're correct when saying this isn't something that Shopify platform offers natively. I did some digging through our product requests and noted that this type of functionality has been requested in the past, so it's on the radar of our Product Team. Looking into alternatives, or workarounds for this issue, I could an application called 'Multi Carrier Shipping Label', which you can access at this link: bit.ly/395BVF8. This application appears to be able to achieve this functionality, but I recommend reaching out to the app developer specifically to see if this application would be a good fit. Considering that this application is also a paid-for product, reaching out to it's development team, known as PluginHive, would be a good step to take before paying for anything. I'm going to add our conversation here to the list of product requests, so you can rest assured that your feedback on this topic has been noted and will be seen by the appropriate team.
I get the error "Your order cannot be shipped to the selected address. Review your address to ensure it's correct and try again, or select a different address."
I am a new starter, and I am a bit confused. This video is about shipping items by yourself. How do you set up your shopify website if you want your suppliers to ship directly to your customers? Thanks.
Hey there, thanks for watching! You can connect your Shopify store to various vendors available on our App store: bit.ly/3NqeB4u. With that being said, we have a great article that goes into this in more depth: bit.ly/42vdQyK. Let us know what you think.
If I sell posters and pins, is there a way to set up shipping that shipping is 5 dollars for just a pin, ten dollars for just a print, but still only ten dollars for print and a pin? The pin fits in the print package, so i dont want the shipping to be extra. but i want to make sure someone does pay for shipping if they only get a pin.
Hi there, Christina. Thanks for your question! If you're wanting to charge a specific, flat amount for shipping for specific products, you can add those products to something called a 'Shipping Profile'. This profile will make it so these products have specific rules and rates whenever customers purchase them from your shop. You could set your pin up to have it's flat $5 shipping, and then also do the same for your print at $10. You could then create an automatic product discount that applies whenever a customer purchases a pin and print together, and set that discount for $5.00. This shipping would appear as $15, but the $5 discount would essentially ratio the shipping cost to $10. You can also name this automatic discount something that lets the customer know it's to cover the shipping. If you wanted something a bit cleaner, you can look at our Shopify App Store for some third party shipping rules apps that can help bundle the products together under one rate. I have a document on Shipping Profiles for you here, bit.ly/3TUrvf2, and another on discounts for you here, bit.ly/3Mix6cN, so you can learn more about building this out. Additionally, here is a link to our app store where you can learn more about third party shipping apps: bit.ly/42x1hCS. Let us know if you have any additional questions. Many businesses make a lot of profit off of their shipping, so in the grand scheme of things, you can feel fine about charging that extra for shipping, but if you want to be kind to your customers, using the above methods will help you do that!
@@learnwithshopify Hi and thank you so much. I'e set up the shipping profiles you recommended. As I go into the discounts however, I cannot find a way to apply a discount for a pin only when combined with a print. It will let me apply the discount to the pins, but not only if someone buys a print. Can you explain how to do this?
No worries, Christina. I'll outline the instructions for you below on how to get this discount made: - Login to your Admin, and select 'Discounts' from the menu on the left - Click 'create discount' and select 'Buy X Get Y' - On the following screen, select 'automatic' and name your discount. - Scroll down and check the circle for 'minimum quantities of items'. Enter in '1' for quantity and then add your pin and print - In the next section, enter '1' in quantity, and select either product. Check the 'percentage' circle, and enter in the percentage that would remove $5.00 from the order price - Scroll down and hit 'save' This should do the trick! Let us know if you have any questions.
I thought when someone placed an order on my site it would be automatically purchased and shipped. I'm a beginner so idk but if I have to manually handle each order isn't that a lot of work? why not automate
Hi there! That is definitely possible, depending on your fulfillment process. Please feel free to provide more insight into how you plan on fulfilling your orders. For example, do you intend to keep inventory and fulfill them yourself, or will you be using a third-party supplier?
Stupid question, is your shipping from address a PO Box address? What address would you not all want on it. Obviously as a seller you wouldn’t want your home address.
Custom shipping rates for products: It seems like it adds the same shipping rate twice when they order 2 items from the same list og items that is inside this shopping rate. Are we doing something wrong?
I'm considering moving my Etsy store to Shopify but I can't find the ONE answer I need. I sell stickers, so my shipping is only $.60 for an envelope. But all other systems asked for dimensions and when I put in the envelope size, suddenly it cost over $4. Does Shopify have a way to stick with the $.60 cost for shipping of a simple envelope? Thank you!
Hi there, Nirelle! We're happy to provide you with some information while you consider your move away from Etsy! Shopify allows you to set your own shipping rates in your stores, so you're not just stuck using rates that are determined by package dimensions. Your stickers are a great example of this! If you know that it only costs you around $.60 to pay for shipping, you can set a flat rate for this price in your store, and apply it to all of your stickers. You can find more information on how to do this at this link here: bit.ly/3dmnVpA. Our resources refer to these types of shipping rates as 'flat rates.' Let us know if you have any additional questions!
What if I have some inventory at my house and I am sending my sister a free tshirt. Can I just print a label still. Cause all i get is " Can’t create shipping labels The selected order is not eligible for shipping labels. 1 order doesn't have items that need fulfillment:"
It sounds like you might have the "This item doesn't require shipping" enabled on this product. Or order fulfillment is being done by a third party app or service. I am not able to confirm this through TH-cam though. I do recommend contacting our authenticated support team, they should be able to resolve this with you.

I want to know what exactly are other drop shippers are putting in there shipping and return policy since they don’t actually come in contact with the merchandise. I’m having a hard tome with how to word my policy.
You need to add an option for products that have different shipping rules so that you have the choice to add the shipping costs together or to select just the higher price one. If we have a customer who places an order for products from different product ranges that have different shipping rules the current system adds them all up and charges the customer the total. A simple tick box on the back end to stop this and to just select the highest priced option should be simple to add and make the whole process a lot better.
Hi, Jennifer! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I've submitted your feedback to our developers!
what if we are working from home, and shipping from...and you do not want to put your home address on the label?
What should do in my case where the products get delivered from Albania and sent to other countries such as England and America?
So when I get an order , I print the shipping label , attach to the box and send it to the post office ?
Hello! I'm new to Shopify and I'm struggling with the saved packages settings. How can I configure custom packages for different products? For example, I've saved small, medium, and large boxes, each for different types of products. However, it appears that Shopify uses the default package to calculate shipping weight and cost. Is there a way to assign specific packages to individual products so Shopify can factor that into the final weight? Let's say I sell small items that can be shipped in a 50 grams box, but other larger items need to be shipped in a 100 grams box. The default package is 50 grams, and it seems like that's the weight Shopify will use to calculate the cost of shipping.
How do you identify where a product has originally come from?
i have products that I want to trace back to the source to get the price and shipping info. from to make sure I have the total cost of it.
Here is a question. If I am not American and not living in America and don't have a physical store in America, do we pay nexus tax if supplier in one USA state and customer in a different USA state?
Thanks for this video but if you have both a point of sale and a website, raising your prices to include shipping does not seen viable, any suggestion? And is there a little more in dept video tutorial available? Thanks
Hey, Clody. That's a great point! You certainly don't have to include your shipping prices within the product price. You can have separate shipping prices entirely. There's a ton of great information in our Shopify Help Document: bit.ly/3jI73MR. Please let us know if you have any questions about that.
Can you do a video using Sendle with Shopify for Australians. Cheers
This was def the most helpful video on shipping so far but not clear enough unfortunately. I live in Sweden and want to ship within the EU and USA. First of all, in your example, what shopify plan are you using? I am set up as basic and i did exactly as you said and no carriers appear. Why? Do I need to upgrade the plan? I just think I must be doing something wrong or shopify is blocked for europe or something. help.
I believe this tool is for sellers located within the U.S.
Hey
Should we just offer Express shipping vs standard? For example my standard from my supplier is 12-15 days but my express is 3-8 days,
Should i just keep the option of express there for they get the producr much faster or will that turn off people because it will be more pricey, i have both standard and express on now but lots of abdan carts price different from standard to express would be 10-15$
What do you think, we want to move our brand to have the product to there house asap 🤔
Michelle is so sweet 😄
What abour working with shopify fulfilment but printing the labels and buying them from outside shopify? For example, if you have an account on dhl for business rates etc. How will that work with shopify?
Hey, there! Thanks for reaching out.
You can definitley use your own carrier accounts to calculate shipping rates and purchase labels.
This would be referred to as third-party carrier-calculated shipping rates, and not necessarily Shopify Shipping (which uses Shopify's own carrier rates).
You would need to have Carrier Calculated Shipping enabled on your store which could be an extra monthly charge depending on your plan.
We have more information on this here - bit.ly/38RQHzd. Hope that helps!

My concern is Shopify is allow in the Caribbean ( Jamaica) but not Shopify payments. Now we could switch the country to USA ( for example) and start selling ( to the USA market). Is that ok? If and when sales reach taxable levels open an LLC?
Thanks for your kind words, Nicholas! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying these videos. If your business has a physical address in the USA, you can use that as your store address. Otherwise, you will need to stick with the payment providers available in your area. We appreciate your interest in using Shopify Payments, and will be sure to let our developers know that you'd like to see it available in Jamaica too.
@@learnwithshopify you're welcome. Keep shining. Thank you so much. Appreciate your quick reply
Why do we have to pay for the shipping label? Don’t you already have to pay a subscription to use everything anyways?
What about adding for example Yoycol POD
I have a question. If you’re doing Shopify shipping, and you pick a carrier like USPS for example, and you got your label and everything ready, do you still need to create an account with USPS for them to get the package?
Hi there, you shouldn't need to create an account though it's an option for those seeking additional features for their business. Here are some more details about Shopify Shipping and USPS. (bit.ly/3Bi0nxo).

How to add local supplier to shopify store and integrate it with shipping partner?
I have selected a few suppliers and products from them, but now, I need to figure out how to push the products to my store through the dropshipping process. Please advise. Thanks
The videos are very helpful. I have a question is there any way to link certain size packages to certain products. After entering all your packages dimensions it only let you use one of them as a default for all products and it doesn’t make any sense to me. Unless I’m missing something!!!
Hey, there. You can adjust the packages when purchasing shipping labels. However, the online store can only have one default package. That being said, if you need to calculate shipping rates for dimensional packages, then we'd recommend using something like Boxify bit.ly/3TI0fzP. Cheers!
@@learnwithshopify thank you so much for the quick response. I didn’t launch my store yet and I have the real time carrier rate calculations. So the calculations will be off I guess, so I have to keep that in mind so I either add little extra for the product or use the biggest size package I have as the default package and get the highest rate possible is that correct!!!
That is definitely a route you can take! Although, this could be overcharging customers for smaller items (if you're looking to set a higher rate for the biggest package size you have) and may affect the conversion rate. But if this is totally up to you! As mentioned above, you can also take a look at third party apps!
@@learnwithshopify I will check Boxify out. Thank you again
Good video. Can a USA shopify seller send their goods from China? Can shopify website show a Chinese express company's logistic information ?
Hey, um not sure if your gonna anwser this but how would you send a product to the customer if your not actully holding the product. Like do I change to address to theirs from aliexpress???
Hey, Jerry! That is absolutely correct. If you use a dropshipping app, usually, it automatically adds the customer address to the AliExpress order. Do you use an app in your store?

Does Shopify have a way to calculate shipping rate based on a customer buying multiples of the same product?

Thank you for sharing these great info. Please can you make a video explaining how we can ship products quickly to customers , I came up lately about Shopify shipping, can you explain deeply please how we can use it, if there's a MQO to start with and the fees. Really appreciate it
Hi Meriyem! Shopify Shipping allows eligible merchants to buy shipping labels with discounted prices directly within their admin. There is no minimum quantity of orders required! If you meet the eligibility requirements - bit.ly/3OMyHcK - then you can ship products using one of the available shipping providers. This works if you are packing and shipping products yourself, but if you are dropshipping the process is a bit different as the supplier is responsible for packaging and shipping.
Speeding up shipping times requires a shipping location that is as close to a customer as possible and that the item is shipped in the smallest and lightest (but still safe) packaging available.
@@learnwithshopifyThank you so much for your quick reply. Highly appreciat it. I will definitely check the link you sent me . God bless you
Awesome! Best of luck with your business.
@@learnwithshopify Thanks
Super helpful!! Thanks
need a shipping sample template that we can use and modify for our needs. thank you
Hey, Tron! What kind of shipping template are you looking for specifically?
If it's for your shipping labels, we do have a free template available here: bit.ly/3jEieGK. You'll just have to fill in the information on that page, and a shipping label will then be created for you! From there, you can either print the label on sticker paper, or on regular paper to tape to your parcel.
Are you using our Shopify Shipping service by any chance? If you are, then you won't need a shipping label template as you can generate and print out a shipping label directly from your Shopify admin: bit.ly/37MJGzc.
I just have a quick simple question here, let's say for example, someone purchases a product from my shopify store, would it automatically get sent to them or would i have to manually set it up from "Shipping and Delivery" in settings? Thank you.
Good question. This completely depends on how your business works. You can either ship the products yourself or use a third-party system to hold and fulfill your orders. If you don't have products already you can sell via dropshipping or print on demand to sell products that are fulfilled by third-party fulfillment systems. Were you already selling online or in-person? -Rio

Hello! What if I need more than 1 box to ship the order? How will shopify know that to calculate for customer at checkout? Not all items will fit in one box most of the times.
Hi, Rebecca. Thanks for reaching out to us! I recommend looking into integrating a shipping app to add custom box sizes based on the product that has the ability to alert the system when an order will be shipped in multiple boxes. For multi-piece shipments, check out the app Shippo (bit.ly/3ksO4Kr) or ShipStation: bit.ly/3m4zaus. Additionally, you can also browse the Shopify App Store (bit.ly/3xQBGXE) for more shipping app options.
Can I buy in bulk off a supplier then ship everything myself on Shopify?
hey, guys is it possible to charge a custom shipping rate based on a set of conditions like: 5$ shipping fee for items between 0$ and 20$ and select one carrier for all orders? i would like shopify to route all orders to USPS.
Hi, Omer. This is definitely possible through price-based flat shipping rates. You can learn about that here bit.ly/3KzVTXa. Then when in your shipping settings make sure you only have USPS enabled and you: should be able to solve this: bit.ly/3pUYRMv. -Rio
My store does not have the option of print shipping label.
Is shopify shipping cost more expensive than Pirateship? As they have the Simple Export Rate.
What should I do if my country is out of the zone for the carriers?
Im havg trouble assigning package sizes to each product. For example, one of my items is shipped in a small padded envelope while another is shipped in a large 26” box. I want to use the calculate shippg option bc if a customer in CA purchases vs NY the $ rate is very different. Please can you advise? Ive watchd so many of these videos and seem to be missg this detail.
Hey there, Angie. Shipping products and packages of various sizes can make setting up your shipping rates a challenge, but there are third-party apps that can help you with this if you wish to use live rates at checkout. I would recommend checking out Boxify: bit.ly/3pdUR9C. This is an app that allows you to assign different packages to your products, which can help you offer more accurate shipping rates to your customers and have more control over your shipping in general.

Another question where is the check-list I should be using before I am ready to launch?
Hi, Lisa. Thank you for your message. You can check out our launch checklist here: (bit.ly/3VLQ78X). It is hard to estimate a shipping cost as it depends on many things such as size, distance, countries etc. Are you shipping internationally?
@@learnwithshopify I won't be shipping internationally, just in the continental US.
Thank you for that information. That does make it a lot easier. I recommend going to the website of your preferred carrier, as they usually have a shipping calculator, and finding pricing that way. This way you can weigh out your items and know approximately what each product costs to ship.
Returns - I need to find your video on Return shipping labels.
Hi! You might find this useful bit.ly/3w2hORE!
How is the easiest way for adding a shipping method for "adding to existing order" that will not cost anything - but at the same time NOT be the default shipping method??? It will not accept our Java script code anymore.... :(
Y’all. Is a 3cm by 3cm box too small to ship?
Can this shipping method apply to nz?
Is there a way to ship heavy items? Can you also make a video on that? Seems like Shopify on goes to 68 lbs. I am looking at average shipping weight to be 2000 lbs. can you help on how can I succeed in this using Shopify?
Hi, Ansar. Thanks for your comment. As Shopify Shipping utilizes carrier accounts with various shipping companies, there will be requirements & limits based on the company's various restrictions - this isn't something we can control. For very large and bulky products, it might be best to manually calculate the rates. Have you considered using flat rates instead, and purchasing the shipping labels directly from a shipping company of your choosing?
But what if you have multiple "ship from" locations that have separate accounts for each carrier (say UPS)? Seems like we have have multiple locations for inventory management but not multiple locations grounded in warehouse addresses for carrier accounts.
Thanks for the question! Is this a situation that you're currently experiencing with your own business? Having multiple warehouses sounds like a very large operation, so having different carrier accounts linked to these different warehouse locations would be helpful, depending on the situation! One idea to get around that would be to have your multiple locations set up, and charge a flat shipping rate for products at those locations not linked to a carrier account within the admin of Shopify. From there, your warehouses would be collecting that flat amount, and using that amount to pay for the carrier shipping costs associated with them.
If this is something you're currently having issues with for your business, you should consider reaching out to our Live Team at this link, bit.ly/3c5icUc, so you can describe this situation to them, and so they can take a peek at your back-end and determine what sort of things we can do to help.
@@learnwithshopify Yes, it's a current barrier for our business and our shipping partner (which has negotiated rates with UPS at their various locations across the US). However, UPS accounts are all linked to the ship from address, and in order to get the best rates for customers (and for our backend billing), we would need to be able to link multiple UPS accounts so that fulfillment can flow through them and get the best rates for our customers (and our business). We don't want to do flat rates, and this still wouldn't solve the issue of the bills we would get from our shipping partner. We also have a shipping profile that grants customers who spend $25 or more free shipping. In one respect, it's not what's reflected to customers about the UPS accounts. It's what our shipping partner is going to bill us at the end of the month, and that's going to be determined by the best rates out of each locations from each separate UPS account. (NOTE: UPS accounts are linked to ship from addresses. Those are static parts of the accounts. It's confusing to me why Shopify would allow you to manage inventory at different locations but not allow you to list / select different rates from the same carrier for the same shipping service but based on the "ship from" account within UPS or any other carrier).
Thanks for following up! I can totally see how this would be an issue for your business, especially when it's your shipping partner with these negotiated rates. The ability to assign a specific carrier account to a specific location within the Admin would be ideal here, and you're correct when saying this isn't something that Shopify platform offers natively.
I did some digging through our product requests and noted that this type of functionality has been requested in the past, so it's on the radar of our Product Team. Looking into alternatives, or workarounds for this issue, I could an application called 'Multi Carrier Shipping Label', which you can access at this link: bit.ly/395BVF8. This application appears to be able to achieve this functionality, but I recommend reaching out to the app developer specifically to see if this application would be a good fit. Considering that this application is also a paid-for product, reaching out to it's development team, known as PluginHive, would be a good step to take before paying for anything.
I'm going to add our conversation here to the list of product requests, so you can rest assured that your feedback on this topic has been noted and will be seen by the appropriate team.
I get the error "Your order cannot be shipped to the selected address. Review your address to ensure it's correct and try again, or select a different address."
I am a new starter, and I am a bit confused. This video is about shipping items by yourself. How do you set up your shopify website if you want your suppliers to ship directly to your customers? Thanks.

If I sell posters and pins, is there a way to set up shipping that shipping is 5 dollars for just a pin, ten dollars for just a print, but still only ten dollars for print and a pin? The pin fits in the print package, so i dont want the shipping to be extra. but i want to make sure someone does pay for shipping if they only get a pin.
especially with international orders where the difference in cost would be more in the 20s and 30s price difference.
Hi there, Christina. Thanks for your question! If you're wanting to charge a specific, flat amount for shipping for specific products, you can add those products to something called a 'Shipping Profile'. This profile will make it so these products have specific rules and rates whenever customers purchase them from your shop. You could set your pin up to have it's flat $5 shipping, and then also do the same for your print at $10. You could then create an automatic product discount that applies whenever a customer purchases a pin and print together, and set that discount for $5.00. This shipping would appear as $15, but the $5 discount would essentially ratio the shipping cost to $10. You can also name this automatic discount something that lets the customer know it's to cover the shipping. If you wanted something a bit cleaner, you can look at our Shopify App Store for some third party shipping rules apps that can help bundle the products together under one rate. I have a document on Shipping Profiles for you here, bit.ly/3TUrvf2, and another on discounts for you here, bit.ly/3Mix6cN, so you can learn more about building this out. Additionally, here is a link to our app store where you can learn more about third party shipping apps: bit.ly/42x1hCS. Let us know if you have any additional questions. Many businesses make a lot of profit off of their shipping, so in the grand scheme of things, you can feel fine about charging that extra for shipping, but if you want to be kind to your customers, using the above methods will help you do that!
@@learnwithshopify Hi and thank you so much. I'e set up the shipping profiles you recommended. As I go into the discounts however, I cannot find a way to apply a discount for a pin only when combined with a print. It will let me apply the discount to the pins, but not only if someone buys a print. Can you explain how to do this?
No worries, Christina. I'll outline the instructions for you below on how to get this discount made:
- Login to your Admin, and select 'Discounts' from the menu on the left
- Click 'create discount' and select 'Buy X Get Y'
- On the following screen, select 'automatic' and name your discount.
- Scroll down and check the circle for 'minimum quantities of items'. Enter in '1' for quantity and then add your pin and print
- In the next section, enter '1' in quantity, and select either product. Check the 'percentage' circle, and enter in the percentage that would remove $5.00 from the order price
- Scroll down and hit 'save'
This should do the trick! Let us know if you have any questions.
I thought when someone placed an order on my site it would be automatically purchased and shipped. I'm a beginner so idk but if I have to manually handle each order isn't that a lot of work? why not automate
Hi there! That is definitely possible, depending on your fulfillment process. Please feel free to provide more insight into how you plan on fulfilling your orders. For example, do you intend to keep inventory and fulfill them yourself, or will you be using a third-party supplier?

I'm considering moving my Etsy store to Shopify but I can't find the ONE answer I need. I sell stickers, so my shipping is only $.60 for an envelope. But all other systems asked for dimensions and when I put in the envelope size, suddenly it cost over $4. Does Shopify have a way to stick with the $.60 cost for shipping of a simple envelope? Thank you!
Hi there, Nirelle! We're happy to provide you with some information while you consider your move away from Etsy! Shopify allows you to set your own shipping rates in your stores, so you're not just stuck using rates that are determined by package dimensions. Your stickers are a great example of this! If you know that it only costs you around $.60 to pay for shipping, you can set a flat rate for this price in your store, and apply it to all of your stickers. You can find more information on how to do this at this link here: bit.ly/3dmnVpA. Our resources refer to these types of shipping rates as 'flat rates.' Let us know if you have any additional questions!

It sounds like you might have the "This item doesn't require shipping" enabled on this product. Or order fulfillment is being done by a third party app or service.
