Feature: Shipping

Shipping rules that calculate themselves at checkout.

Define zones once, set flat, per-item, or weight-based rates, add free-shipping thresholds, and the checkout works out the right cost from the buyer's address automatically. No plugins, no per-order maths, no surprises at the final step.

The problem

Shipping is where checkouts quietly leak money.

Overcharge and the cart gets abandoned at the worst possible moment. Undercharge and you eat the difference on every order. Most no-code checkouts either skip shipping entirely or bolt on a clumsy plugin that treats every country the same, which is fine until you sell your first heavy item overseas.

Ways to charge

Price shipping the way your products actually ship.

01

Flat rate per zone.

One price to a region, whatever's in the cart. The simplest option, and the right one for most digital-light or single-product stores.

02

Per-item and weight-based.

Rates that scale with quantity or total weight, so a cart of ten heavy items isn't shipped at the price of one.

03

Live carrier rates.

Connect UPS, USPS, DHL, FedEx and more via ShipEngine and show shoppers real, up-to-the-minute rates for their exact address, then buy and print discounted labels straight from the order.

04

Free-shipping thresholds.

"Free shipping over $50" is the highest-converting nudge in ecommerce. Set the threshold per zone and Shoprocket prompts the shopper how close they are.

Zones

Group the world into zones, price each one.

A zone is a set of countries (or US states) that share a shipping cost. Build as few or as many as you need, from "Domestic / Rest of world" to a granular per-region setup. Each zone carries its own rates and free-shipping rule; the checkout matches the buyer's address to the right zone automatically.

  • Countries and US states grouped into named zones
  • Per-zone rates and free-shipping thresholds
  • Buyer's address auto-matched to a zone at checkout

At checkout

The shopper picks; the right rate joins the order.

No mental maths, no "we'll invoice you for shipping later".

01

1. Address in, zone matched.

The shopper enters where they are. Shoprocket finds the zone that address falls into and reads that zone's rules.

02

2. Options presented.

The matching shipping options and prices appear inline, with any free-shipping threshold applied automatically if the cart qualifies.

03

3. Rate joins the order.

The shopper picks an option; the selected rate is added to the total and travels with the order into your dashboard for fulfilment.

The conversion lever

"Free shipping over $50" is the nudge that lifts cart size.

A free-shipping threshold is one of the most reliable ways to grow average order value: shoppers add another item to cross the line. Set the threshold per zone and Shoprocket shows a live progress prompt in the cart, telling the shopper exactly how much more they need to unlock free shipping.

  • Per-zone "free over $X" thresholds
  • Live progress nudge in the cart
  • Lifts average order value without discounting

Common questions

Shipping questions, answered.

The practical stuff, including what's not there yet.

Do you support real-time carrier rates (UPS, DHL, FedEx)?+
Yes. Connect your carriers via ShipEngine and shoppers see live, address-accurate rates from UPS, USPS, DHL, FedEx and more at checkout, so you charge exactly what shipping costs. You can also buy and print discounted labels from the order. Prefer to keep it simple? Manual zone rates work too, on their own or as a fallback.
How are zones matched to a buyer?+
From the destination address at checkout. The address is matched to the zone that contains its country (or US state), and that zone's rates and rules apply. An address that matches no zone simply isn't offered shipping, so you never accidentally ship somewhere you don't serve.
Can I offer free shipping only above a certain spend?+
Yes, per zone. Set "free over $X" for each zone independently, so you can offer free domestic shipping over $50 while still charging for international. The checkout shows shoppers how close they are to qualifying.
Does shipping get taxed?+
It can, depending on the jurisdiction's rules. Shoprocket's automated tax can apply tax to shipping per-method where required, so your totals stay compliant without you researching each region.
Can I sell digital and physical products in the same store?+
Yes. Digital items skip shipping entirely; physical items get the zone rules. A mixed cart charges shipping only on the physical portion, in one checkout.
