How do I add a flat rate for shipping in my new Square Online site?

[The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Flat rate shipping in new online store]

Can’t find any threads addressing the new online store with shipping issues- I’m trying to keep my flat rate shipping cost always applied to orders that i had with the old store, until I can get all the extra accounts and costs associated set up with the various carriers to function smoothly in the new store. The new online store automatically took away my flat rate shipping and now I’m losing $$ on orders! I can’t find where/how to instate a flat rate.
halp!

Hey @bfcoffee!

Thanks for posting in the Seller Community.

Update: To add a flat rate shipping fee to the Square Online Store: Store > Setup > Shipping, you will need to add a region, and then edit the region to add a flat rate.

Hi- thanks Isabelle. Unfortunately, these links and instructions go to the old online store setup, and I'm looking for the new, Weebly storefront info that square encouraged me to move towards. I had it set up just fine this way in the old format but I can't find it in the new stuff.

Thanks

@isabelle , one of the biggest problems I’m having with the new online store is that another shipping option wasn’t carried over to the new free online store. Since I can’t use the calculated rate option (you charge extra for that) I would like to use the same option I used on the old store — $xx per order plus $xx per item.
right now it seems you can only do one or the other, unless I missed something?

Hey, thanks for asking! You may want to follow up more with our Weebly partners on their side, but I do know that shipping is in Store > Setup > Shipping rather than in Website > Site Settings

I have also merged your post with another one that has similar questions so you guys can build your answers off each other. 🙂

To get you started you can edit your shipping here: Store > Setup > Shipping, you will need to add a region, and then edit the region to add a flat rate.

Feel free to take a look at this help article here as well.

Ah thank you- that worked. Finding the shipping editing wasn't an issue, but figuring out how to charge a flat rate was- it was simple with your directions. That "choose a destination" thing looked a bit overwhelming- I didn't realize it was as broad as a whole country! But it was simple to just choose "United States and Territories, select "Flat Rate", and set it. Problem solved, and now I'm off to set up all the individual carrier accounts and connect them so I can streamline and save money on shipping. Thanks for this whole shipping integration setup- I've wanted to do this for awhile, and wasn't satisfied with order fulfillment in the old store. I'm hoping this new ecommerce system helps us!

I'm so happy to hear that this helped! We love the Weebly integration too - they deliver a lot of what our Sellers were asking for. I know it can be a lot to work out at first too, but it sounds like it really is making your life as a Seller easier and that is the main goal!!

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help!

Can you help me find the thread. Not seeing your link. Trying to set up different shipping cost per item. Thanks.

Did you ever figure out how to connect different shipping rates to different items?

Re: Weebly Shipping....

Hey there @TheCraftyTulip -

Adding Shipping Rates to specific Items is considered a Feature Request, currently.

Other sellers have reached out about the same feature, so I will be more than happy to add your voice.

Thank you for taking the time with your Feedback, it's greatly appreciated!

Flat Rate shipping

suehoo — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 04:14:46 GMT

Is there an option to use flat rate shipping per item and not shop wide?

I have several items that ship at different price points. Using the weight feature is just painful. I know my shipping costs. I’d like flat rate shipping per item with an option that’s says “additional items add $5”

etsy has a feature like this. If more than one item is chosen the higher shipping rate is used and the add on.

Hey @suehoo,

It looks like @TheCraftyTulip had the same question above and @Kassi_ answered it in her response below so I moved your post here for that answer.

S/H Costs

This reply was created from merging an existing thread: S/H Costs

I am not at all interested in figuring out and adding weight for each item in my store. Can I not simply add a flat rate fee for s/h like I had before Square switched to Weebly? Thanks!
