Add a handling fee

(Optional) Add a Handling Fee to your carrier rate.

Shipping best practices

  • Limit visible services to the ones you want customers to choose from

  • Use accurate package and bottle weights to ensure precise rate calculation

  • Add a free shipping threshold using price-based conditional rules to increase average order value
