Shipping Rule Guide

Our application provides a flexible and dynamic shipping rule system that allows merchants to configure and manage shipping rates based on multiple conditions. This ensures accurate and efficient shipping cost calculations tailored to their business needs.

1. Shipping Profiles & Zones

• Our app integrates with Shopify Shipping Profiles and Shipping Zones.
• Each profile contains different shipping zones, allowing merchants to assign specific rates based on customer location.
• Shipping rates are managed inside each zone, ensuring region-specific pricing.

2. Shipping Rule Configuration

Merchants can create and apply shipping rules based on various criteria, including:

• Cart Attributes: Total price, total quantity, weight, or volume.
• Product Attributes: SKU, barcode, tags, or specific product selections.
• Customer Data: address, email, phone number …
• Delivery Preferences: Shipping methods, carrier services, or fulfillment options.

3. Rule Matching & Conditions

Merchants can define rules using conditional logic, such as:

• “All items” – Applies if all products in the cart meet the condition.
• “Any items” – Applies if at least one product meets the condition.
• “None of the items” – Excludes specific products from triggering the rule.
• “Items with specific tags/SKUs” – Applies only to products with predefined tags or SKUs.

4. Rate Calculation & Combinations

Merchants can determine how shipping rates are calculated:

• Fixed Fee – A flat rate for shipping.
• Percentage-Based – A percentage of the order total.
• Weight-Based – Charges determined by total weight.
• Volumetric Weight – Uses product dimensions for accurate cost estimation.

Multiple rates can be combined using sum, average, highest, or lowest value.

5. Advanced Features

• Customizable Shipping Labels – Modify rate names based on selected conditions.
• Fallback Shipping Rates – Default rate if no rules match.
• Delivery Time Estimation – Set and display estimated delivery times dynamically.

Conclusion

With our shipping rules, merchants have full control over shipping rates based on cart contents, product attributes, customer data, and regional zones. This helps optimize shipping costs, enhance the customer experience, and improve operational efficiency.
