# Shipping Settings

Here you can set your shipping rates to display to customers at checkout. Choose from custom flat rates or carrier-calculated rates provided by Amazon.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Shopify shipping zones & markets**\
To sell and ship to a country or region, it needs to be included as an active market within Shopify. [Learn more](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/markets/shipping-and-markets/shipping-zones-and-markets) 
{% endhint %}

### Adding rates

To add shipping rates, click on the "Add rates" button to open the "Shipping and delivery" settings in Shopify. From here you'll be able to create a delivery profile.

#### Carrier calculated rates

To display live Amazon shipping rates to customers at checkout, select "Use carrier or app to calculate rates" and "Amazon Shipping Rates (Rates provided by app").&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Carrier calculated rates**\
To activate the third-party carrier-calculated shipping, your store needs to be on the Advanced Shopify or Plus plan. If you're on the Shopify plan, then you can add this feature for a monthly fee or switch from monthly to yearly billing. [Learn more](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shipping/setting-up-and-managing-your-shipping/enabling-shipping-carriers) or contact [Shopify support](https://help.shopify.com/en/support/)
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/A9Qrg6iyIx0aZJvkCgPH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
Shipping rates will be determined at checkout based on:

* The closest Amazon fulfillment center (where your inventory is stored) to the customer's shipping address
* The weight of the products in the order
* The shipping service available (Standard, Expedited or Priority).
  {% endhint %}

#### Custom rates

To display your own custom shipping rates to customers at checkout, select "Set up your own rates".\
\
To map your custom rates with Amazon shipping services, please use the below names in the  "Rate name" text field:

* Standard
* Expedited
* Priority

<figure><img src="/files/A3nMvS8Jqu0Dv6TXup1m" alt=""><figcaption><p>The "Rate name" must be either "Standard", "Expedited" or "Priority" to map with Amazon's shipping services</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
Amazon's express shipping services (Expedited, Priority) may not be available to all customers if their shipping address is too far away.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If custom rates are mapped incorrectly, the order will default to a "Standard" shipping service.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Once you have added your shipping rates to the delivery profile, save and exit the page to return to the app.
{% endhint %}

### Adding multiple location rates to products

If your products have multiple (non-Amazon) fulfillment locations, you can add separate rates for each.\
\
Within the same Amazon delivery profile:

1. Click "Add rates" on the location you wish to ship from. In the pop window, select "Create new rates" and click done.

2. Set your own custom rates for the location and then save.

### Order routing: prioritizing the location's rank

{% hint style="info" %}
**Optional step**

This is an optional step but we recommend implementing it to ensure Amazon shipping rates are always shown to customers (when eligible). [Learn more about order routing](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shipping/setting-up-and-managing-your-shipping/order-routing)
{% endhint %}

Prioritizing the "Amazon Fulfillment Center" location's rank will ensure the rates associated with this location will be shown first to customers (when eligible) at checkout.

To prioritize a location's rank within order routing:

1. Navigate to "Settings" and then "Shipping and delivery"&#x20;
2. Within the "Shipping and delivery" settings, navigate to the "Order routing" section and click on "Manage"

<figure><img src="/files/LIu2V4lXxiEi9CRvUIjj" alt=""><figcaption><p>The "Order routing" section in the "Shipping and delivery" settings</p></figcaption></figure>

3. Once in the order routing page click on "Add rule" and select "Use ranked locations".

<figure><img src="/files/T7di8VnnkPQ86pt6uDmF" alt=""><figcaption><p>Adding a "Use ranked locations" rule</p></figcaption></figure>

4. In the "Use ranked locations" section, click "Manage". \
   \
   Drag the "Amazon Fulfillment Center" location to its own location group above any other location group. This will prioritize the "Amazon Fulfillment Center" location's rank over others. Click "Done".
