What are shipping rates?
Shipping rates are what you charge your customer to have their goods delivered in addition to the costs of the products in their cart.
How do I set shipping rates in my Brikl store?
Add shipping methods and set shipping rates against each at a shop and sales channel level. This allows your customers and you as a merchant complete flexibility and a more tailored experience at checkout.
Shipping rates can be set at two levels:
- Account level - If you have multiple storefronts, the shipping rates you apply at an account level will be applied to all the storefronts. (Dashboard > Settings > Shipping)
- MicroStore level - You can also override the shipping rates on a MicroStore level. (Sales channels > MicroStores > Shipping).
Shipping rates cannot be set on a storefront level. They can only be set on an account or MicroStore level.
❗Shipping rates must be entered, including tax (or VAT/GST)
What are shipping zones?
Use shipping zones to define your shipping regions i.e. the countries or territories you ship to. You can set shipping zones on a country level or a regional level.
Only shipping zones that are defined in the dashboard can be selected by the customer on the checkout page.
Each shipping zone can be associated with a specific shipping rate or defined according to the order value. Eg. 2-3 day working day delivery times, carbon-neutral transport, shipping to EU countries, free pickup, or pickup from a consolidation point.
- Example - 1
- Example - 2
When you add a new shipping method, it will be set to "Inactive" by default. Make sure to toggle to "Active" so that the shipping method will appear accordingly on the cart page.
- This feature can be defined on an account level and overwritten on a MicroStore level, as shipping methods can be different for MicroStores, e.g. free in-store collection or from a consolidation point.
- You can set multiple flat rates in case you want free shipping above a certain purchase value.
- Shipping rates are always entered, including tax.
- You can set one of them as a default when you have at least one shipping method.
- If you set shipping rates at an EU level, for example, you will override specific shipping rates set at the country level within the EU. And then, at a country level, selecting Belgium, for example, will override the shipping rates you have selected for the EU.
- Default shipping methods cannot be deleted.
How to select the shipping method as a customer
After customers enter their shipping address on the checkout page, they will be able to see and select available shipping methods. Their shipping will then be calculated at checkout.
