Shipping quoted separately

How it works

If you have a complicated shipping or installation process, you can choose to quote delivery fees after the customer has placed the order.

This means that shipping fees will not be captured during checkout. Once the order is received, the customer will need to be contacted to quote shipping based on their order items and shipping address.

If the customer is happy to pay the additional fee, you can confirm the order. If they are not willing to pay the fee, the order can be cancelled before payment is taken.

Setting it up

To set this up, follow these steps:

1. Click Edit pencil icon on the default 'Shipping quoted separately' profile
2. You can update Shipping profile name, if applicable. Customers won't see this name, as it is for internal reference only.
3. You can update Shipping method name, if applicable. Customers will see this name during checkout. 
4. You can add an Estimated delivery timeframe, if applicable.
5. Click Save

Customers will see a custom message during checkout communicating that you will be in contact after the order is placed to quote the shipping fee.

Weight-based shipping

If your shipping rates are based on weights, we recommend create different profiles with different weight ranges.

To set up weight-based shipping, follow these steps:

1. Click Add New Shipping Profile
2. Enter a weight range as the Shipping profile, e.g. "15kg - 20kg". Customers won't see this name, as it is for internal reference only.
3. Select whether the shipping will be charged Per order or Per item
4. Enter Method name. Customers will see this name during checkout. You can add up to three methods per Shipping profile.
5. Enter Estimated delivery timeframe
6. Enter Flat rate fee*
7. Click Save
8. Repeat for all remaining weight ranges

Applying profiles to product variants

Once you have created shipping profiles, you will need to allocate profiles to each product variant.
