Is it possible to have shipping profiles on Square?

Tribambuka — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 00:03:59 GMT

I've just set up a shop, and I'm going to sell prints; some of them are physical limited edition prints I ship from UK, and others are 'Print On Demand' prints that are printed and shipped from wherever is closer to the customer, so it's cheaper for them (and no custom taxes). I'm moving to Square from Etsy, and Etsy offers different shipping profiles - I had Royal Mail prices for the orders I ship from UK, and flat rate price (or even free shipping) on my POD orders. Also I had a different profiles for small prints and cards, and for big ones. It seems like on Square I can only calculate shipping from my location and there's no other options available. Can I offer free shipping on some orders?
Thanks!

Hi @Tribambuka, great question!

Although the Square Online site doesn't quite have the same shipping profile setup like Etsy, you can still offer free shipping for orders that meet certain criteria, set up flat rate or shipping based on order weight, total or quantity.

Thanks Tranguen! Are you saying I can assign different weights to items just to be able to apply those filters and have different shipping options? Because obviously weight of the prints I ship from UK and other prints shipped from elsewhere will be the same..

Thanks!

Apology for the confusion, @Tribambuka! Even if you don't have order weights, you can still setup other shipping options like free shipping or flat rate.

However, the order weight would be the best way to filter items for shipping here since there isn't a way to setup filter based on size or add a second location where the item is shipped from the way you had with Etsy previously.
