Hey, @Caninelive!

Welcome to Shopify Community. My name is Olivia and I work here.

Thanks for sharing your question with our network. Check out this guide on how shipping settings work on Oberlo and what you can expect to pay shipping carriers. To borrow from the guide:


Based on this, you can see shipping rates are dynamic depending on a variable of factors. When you choose your product, you will be given a preview option of anticipated shipping costs based on region.

Most merchants will set-up shipping in one of two ways.

  1. Offer free shipping on all products, by considering the cost when setting product prices - (studies show this leads to higher conversion rates)
  2. Set up flat rates based on product price or weight

I encourage you to check out the rest of the guide for more information on the topics below:

Let me know if you still have any unanswered questions and I'd be glad to chat further.

Warm regards,
