Setting up BigCommerce Shipping
Setting up shipping for BigCommerce is done all within your BigCommerce store account. You will still have to pay for our shipping costs for the products that are being ordered, but you can set up the shipping for your customers however you want.
We highly recommend you to check out BigCommerce's existing documentation on how to set up shipping, but we'll briefly cover what you can do below as well.
Set up shipping in BigCommerce
1. Navigate to the Shipping page under the Store Setup section on the left-hand side of your BigCommerce interface.
On this page and under the Checkout Shipping Options, select the Add shipping zone drop, and then choose to add a country zone. If you want to select multiple countries in one zone, you will choose a custom zone.
2. You'll see a pop-up that lets you select the country you want to ship to. After selecting the country, click on the Submit button.
3. Once you've added your shipping zone, make sure to enable it and then click the Configure button.
4. Here, you have multiple ways to set up your shipping for your products and orders. Setting up these shipping options will change how your customer will pay you for shipping.
Please be aware that these shipping prices that you set in BigCommerce can help offset the Sensaria shipping costs that you pay us for the production and shipping of your orders.
You can choose to enable the following:
Free Shipping
You can offer your customers free shipping meaning your customer won't have to pay any shipping costs. This does not mean you, as a partner, pays no shipping. You would still have to pay Sensaria's shipping costs when we fulfill your orders.
If you plan to include free shipping in any way, we recommend that you update your product prices to accommodate that your customers are not paying for shipping.
Flat Rate Shipping
You can set a flat rate shipping price for all your orders, and this will be charged to your customers when they place an order through your store.
Including flat shipping rates can help offset the Sensaria shipping costs when you pay us when we fulfill your orders.
Weight or Order Total Based Shipping
You can choose to set the shipping costs based on the order weight or the order total.
- Setting your shipping costs based on the weight will charge your customers with shipping depending on the weight of the order. We don't necessarily recommend this option as the weight for orders can vary.
- Setting your shipping costs based on the order total will charge your customers with shipping depending on the total cost of their order.
Including these rates can help offset the Sensaria shipping costs you pay us when we fulfill your orders.
5. After you're done setting up your shipping option, you would click on the Submit button, and this applies the shipping option to your entire store.
Regardless of how you set up your shipping in BigCommerce, you are still responsible for paying Sensaria's shipping costs for your orders. Setting up your shipping in BigCommerce helps you cover Sensaria's shipping costs when orders are processed.
As a side note, you can set up the product shipping costs for individual products when editing the product in BigCommerce. This can be done in the Shipping Details section when editing a product in BigCommerce.
