Setting Up Shipping Rates in Shopify

Set up Shipping Classes:

Setting up Shipping Classes can be helpful, as Shopify has some limitations with default shipping calculations. By default, Shopify applies a single shipping rate, which may not automatically increase if a customer orders multiple items. Follow these steps to adjust this
  1. Go to your Shopify product list, select all products, and choose “Bulk edit.”
  2. In the bulk edit view (which resembles a spreadsheet), click on “Columns” in the top-right corner. Scroll down and under the “Shipping” section, enable “Weight.”
  3. A new column labeled “Weight” will appear. Enter “1” as the weight for each product (this weight won’t be visible to customers).
  4. Click Save once all products have a weight set to “1.”

Setting Up Shipping Rates:

  1. Go to Settings in Shopify’s admin panel.
  2. Select Shipping and delivery.
  3. Click on General shipping rates.
  4. Scroll down to view your regions (e.g. EU, International, and Sweden).
  • For each region, find the row labeled “Normal” (e.g., for Sweden) and click the three dots (•••) to set up your shipping rates.
  1. Set your base shipping price, such as 79 SEK, or choose your preferred rate.
  2. Under the price field, click on the blue link Add conditional pricing.
  3. Choose Based on item weight and enter “1” in both the minimum and maximum weight fields. Click Done.

Adding Additional Shipping Rates:

  1. To add shipping rates for additional items (e.g., two items), click + Add rate under the chosen region (e.g., Sweden).
  2. In the rate setup, name this rate as the customer will see it (e.g., “Normal 2 pcs”).
  3. Set the price to reflect the additional shipping cost. For example, if your base rate is 79 SEK, add 16 SEK for the second item, making it 95 SEK.
  4. Select Conditional pricing again and choose “Based on weight.”
  5. Enter “2” in both the minimum and maximum weight fields for two items. Click Done.
Repeat these steps to add rates for “Normal 3 pcs” and so on, increasing the weight and price incrementally as needed.
If you’re selling to multiple markets (EU, International, etc.), you’ll need to repeat these setup steps for each region.
