Shipping Configuration
Shipping methods define how orders are delivered to customers. Methods are configured globally and assigned to stores.
Managing Shipping Methods
Navigate to Settings → Shipping (or accessible via Payment & Shipping settings).
Shipping Method Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Method display name (e.g., "Standard Shipping") |
| Description | Shown to customers during checkout |
| Cost | Shipping price |
| Estimated Days | Delivery time estimate (e.g., "3-5") |
| Is Active | Whether currently available |
Store Assignment
Like payment methods, shipping methods are assigned per store. Each store can offer different shipping options with different pricing.
Free Shipping Promotions
Shipping costs can be overridden by automatic promotions of type FreeShipping or DiscountedShipping. When a promotion applies:
- The original shipping cost is still shown (strikethrough)
- The effective cost becomes $0 or the discounted amount
- Customers see the promotion name in their cart
tip
Create a "Free Shipping Over $X" promotion to encourage larger orders. The promotion condition MinCartTotal combined with type FreeShipping handles this automatically.
