There are two main ways you can set your shipping rates:
Flat Rate Shipping: This means charging one fixed price for shipping, regardless of where the buyer is located. It’s good for products with predictable shipping costs. For example:
- “£5.99 flat shipping fee on all orders.”
- “£3.00 shipping per item, no matter how many items are ordered.”
Country-Based Table Rates: This lets you set different shipping prices based on the customer’s country, state, or even postcode. This is helpful for lighting products because large or heavy items can be much more expensive to ship to certain areas. For example:
| Country | State | Postcode | Shipping Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| UK | England | All | £4.00 |
| UK | Scotland | IV, KW, HS | £10.00 |
| France | All | All | £7.00 |
| USA | California | 90001-96162 | £12.00 |
This level of detail lets you charge the right fees for shipping larger lighting items, especially if some areas cost more due to remote locations or courier surcharges.
