Introduction

The Change Shipping Method feature allows merchants to update the shipping mode or shipping charges for an active subscription order. This is used when delivery requirements change after the subscription has already been created.

This action helps ensure accurate delivery handling and correct shipping costs for upcoming orders.

Why It Matters

Updating the shipping method ensures that subscription orders are delivered using the correct carrier or service. It also allows merchants to adjust shipping charges when operational or customer-specific changes are required.

How to Change the Shipping Method

Access the Subscription Order

  • Log in to the Shopify Admin portal

  • Navigate to Subscriptions

  • Open the subscription order that requires a shipping method update

Update the Shipping Method

  • Scroll down to the Upcoming Products section

  • Locate Shipping Method on the right side

  • Click Shipping Method

  • Select the required shipping option or update the charges

  • Save the changes

The updated shipping method will apply to upcoming orders only.

Best Practice

  • Review shipping changes before the next billing cycle to avoid fulfillment issues

  • Inform the customer if the shipping method or charges are updated manually
