After price, shipping is the second thing that decides whether an order is completed. The configuration has two layers: which methods you offer and what you charge for them.

  2. Add methodA new method. The same button sits in the empty state in the middle.
  3. All shipping methodsA single list — its order is the order the customer sees.

Price bands

Band typeBased onWhen it suits
By weightThe sum of item weights.When the carrier charges by weight. Requires weight filled in on products.
By valueThe order total.Simpler, and enough for most shops.
Flat priceAlways the same.The clearest for a customer.
No shipping method appears for the customer.

Their address falls into none of your regions, or the order exceeds the limits of every method.

The shipping price came out differently from what I expected.

Check which band applied — with weight bands the cause is usually a missing or wrong weight on a product.
