Seller's Guide to Setting Up Shipping

• Canada Post
• Marketplace Shipping-Country-wise
• Free Shipping
• Product-wise Fixed Rate Shipping
• Global Configuration
CANADA POST
• Canadian sellers can sell domestically or internationally using this shipping method.
• US sellers cannot use this shipping method.
Enable Canada Post from the shipping configuration in seller panel.
Seller Panel > Configuration > Shipping Configuration > Check the Canada Post option > Save.
Go to Product Page>> choose Canada Post in shipping box. Enter the size and weight of the product.
Rates will be automatically calculated at checkout based on the size and weight of the product that was entered on the product page.
Customers will be given a choice at checkout to choose what Canada Post Shipping method they prefer: Expedited Parcel, Regular Parcel, Xpresspost or Priority.
MARKETPLACE SHIPPING
If the seller is shipping to different countries with different shipping rates, then, they must enable Marketplace Shipping Country-wise shipping.
Go to Configuration >> Shipping Configuration menu of the seller panel, the seller will see the marketplace shipping option in the listing.
In front of that shipping method, the seller needs to click the View button in the Action menu.
Clicking on the view button, the seller will see a list of countries. From here, the seller will get the option to manage shipping ranges & add countries. Sellers can also disable/delete any country from the list.
Seller adding Shipping Ranges
• The seller will click the Range Detail to add New Range & set a shipping range to enter country wise shipping rates. These rates will be applied based on a product’s price or product’s weight.
Free Shipping Over a Certain Amount
• In case sellers want to provide free shipping over a certain amount then they can set up the shipping ranges based on price as below:
• For example, sellers can set the shipping ranges as 0-$100, $101-200, $201-300, and in the last shipping range, you can put any higher number like $301 to $5000000.
• Then, sellers can put up the rates on these shipping ranges for each country.
• For example: 0-100$ shipping rate is $10.
• 101-200$ shipping rate is $20.
• 201-300$ shipping rate is $15.
• $301 to $5000000 shipping rate is zero ($0)
• This way, if any seller’s product falls under $301 to $500000000 range, then no shipping rates will be applied to that seller’s products.
FREE SHIPPING
Login Seller dashboard>> Go to the configuration >> Shipping method >> Enable Marketplace Shipping
Free shipping can be added using the Marketplace Shipping and entering zero for the shipping rate. Be sure to also select Marketplace Shipping on product page (see free shipping over a certain amount above as a guide).
Sellers can also enable Free Shipping in Shipping Method and then select Free Shipping from the shipping menu on the product page.
PRODUCT-WISE FIXED RATE SHIPPING
Set shipping for products as one rate for all quantities or additional rates for additional quantities.
Login Seller dashboard>> Go to the configuration >> Shipping method >> enable product-wise fixed rate shipping through the action button.
Go to Product >> Product >> Edit or add a product >> Shipping method >> select product-wise fixed rate shipping in shipping methods on product page.
As soon as, the seller selects product-wise fixed rate shipping, a few options will appear i.e. PRODUCT WISE SHIPPING RATE TYPE and shipping price.
Select the product-wise shipping rate type i.e. Quantity wise or Overall, enter the shipping price and click SAVE button.
Quantity Wise
By selecting “Quantity”, the shipping cost will be applied to the number of items selected while placing order.
For example, if sellers set the product -wise fixed rate shipping cost $10.00 on a quantity basis then if a customer chooses three products while placing order the Shipping cost will be calculated at $30.00.
Overall
When the seller selects “Overall”, the shipping cost will be applied to the product only while placing order.
For example: if sellers set product-wise fixed rate shipping cost to $10.00 on an overall basis then if customers order that product the shipping cost will be $10.00 no matter how many of that item they order.
GLOBAL CONFIGURATION
If shipping and delivery days have not been configured for a particular state within a country, it will be displayed based on the global configuration. However, if a specific configuration has been set for the state within that country, it will be displayed accordingly.
To configure the Global configuration for shipping, go to
Seller Panel, navigate to Configuration >> Shipping Methods >> Click on Global Configuration
After following the steps above, the seller will have the option to add shipping days and delivery days while adding the country for shipping.
SET SHIPPING AS DEFAULT
Sellers can set the marketplace shipping as the default option from their seller panels.
It is necessary for the sellers to choose a shipping method. Then only these shipping rates will be visible to the customers on front end.
If a seller doesn’t want to set the shipping method separately for each of the products, then they can simply set the “Shipping as default” as set the shipping rates. Then the marketplace shipping method will be automatically added to each product of that seller.
Seller Panel>>Go to Configuration>>Shipping Configuration>>Click (…) Action>>Click “Set as Default” from the Action menu of Shipping Methods.
