Flat Rate Shipping - For most Products, not all...

[WarnerMiller]

Here's my scenario:

I'm working with a shop owner who sells small items which will fit perfectly using the small USPS Flat Rate Boxes so most of her orders can use this.

She has a few larger items which would not use this size.

What is the best way to manage this if a user decides they wanted a small item which fits in the Small Flat Rate Box, and a larger item which would use a larger size? Or where is this selected?

I was using the "Rate is Charged", "By Order" under Flat Rate.

Shop Owner is using only the free shipping options within Square, no Shippo, or by weight.

Hi @WarnerMiller - My name is Violet and I'm one of the Moderators here in the Square Community. I see this is your first post in the Seller Community so I'd like to officially welcome you! 🎉👏

If the owner is shipping primarily one size, you could setup the default rate for all orders. For the few specific items they need to offer a different rate, you could set up a custom rate when setting up the shipping profile. This support article goes into a little more detail about the different rates you could use, and also explains the difference between the Order vs the Item profile. 

I hope this information is helpful but please do let me know if you have any additional questions 🙂
