You can now set your own shipping rules for Dropship products, giving you full control over the shipping dynamics of your shop. Tailor the shipping experience to your shop’s needs, with options including:
- Customized Shipping Costs: Take charge of what your shoppers pay for shipping, and set prices that will best benefit you!
- Variable Shipping Costs: Include variable shipping costs that align with your business strategy and customer expectations.
- Maximum Shipping Cost: Define maximum shipping costs to ensure that your shipping fees remain within a set limit, providing transparency and consistency for your customers.
- Free Shipping Minimum Cost: Offer free shipping after a minimum purchase value. You can easily set this to match your current free shipping policy, encouraging customers to add additional items and increase your average order value!
Important! These options apply to each supplier in a customer's order. For example, if a customer places one order with products from 2 suppliers, then they will pay shipping costs per supplier. In this case, twice. Additionally, at this time, these shipping options apply to ALL dropship suppliers. In the future, we hope to offer the ability to set custom options for specific suppliers.
