A Comprehensive Guide to Configuring Shipping and Preferences for Vendors

Here's how to set up your shipping:

1. From your Vendor Dashboard, navigate to the "Settings" section of the platform.

2. Click on the "Manage Shipping (1)" button if this is your first time setting it up. If you are editing your shipping options, click on "Manage Table Rate Shipping (2)".

3. First off, we will configure the shipping preference. It's main purpose is to distinguish how will your buyers be billed for the shipping. Configure these basic settings before you start adding shipping zones and rates. To charge shipping, you can configure the shipping by price bands or weight tiers. The Weight units can be in lbs or kg. Cart total is a price tier configuration. Click "Save" after completing the basic settings configuration.

Note: It is advisable that you plan accordingly with the preferences. If you plan to change this after completing a specific configuration, the existing rates will be removed.

To do this, click on preferences on the top right corner.

From there, it will prompt the option between Weight and Cart Total. Once done, click on Save.
