Can I apply a flat rate shipping charge for the entire order?

Can I charge a flat rate on the whole order rather than per item

Hi, @km1960!

Welcome to Shopify Community.

Thank you for sharing your question with our network. Instead of creating product-specific shipping rules with Shipping Profiles, you can create flat rates that are applicable to Shipping Zones. 

The steps to create a Shipping Zone are:

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Shipping and delivery.

2. Next to the shipping profile where you want to add a shipping zone, click Manage.

3. Next to the group of locations where you want to add a shipping zone, click Create zone.

4. Enter a name for the shipping zone.

5. Select the countries and regions that you want to be in the zone.

6. Click Done.

7. Add any rates that you want for the zone, and then click Save.

That should definitely achieve the result you are looking for, but please let me know if I have missed or misunderstood anything.

I look forward to your reply,

Thank you so much for your response. Unfortunately after following those
steps. I am still seeing 'unable to ship to this location when I do a test
order'. I have attached a screenshot of my settings.

It seemed easiest to offer free shipping as my products can go in an
envelope. I would have preferred a flat rate per order rather than per item
if possible.

Look forward to your reply.

Thank you for following up, @km1960!

I don't see any screenshots attached to your reply, are you able to try uploading it again? Furthermore, make sure to share details about the shipping region along with your shipping settings so we can cross check there are in fact rates applicable to the test order.

We look forward to your reply,

Thanks for your reply, @km1960.

I still do not see any attachments with your reply, I wonder if they are being uploaded properly? If you have a public link to them such as through dropbox, or even your Shopify store's files, then you can also share that.

Alternatively, if you prefer not to wait to continue our conversation I also invite you to connect to our Support team directly for account-specialized assistance.

Warm regards,

What email can I share

[Olivia]

While I don't have an email address to provide for support, @km1960, you can start an email ticket through the Help Center link I shared above.

If you are going that route, I recommend starting a live chat instead to get immediate support with your question. That way you are not left waiting for a reply if time is of the essence.

Warm regards,

Yes, it is very possible, From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Shipping and delivery.

I recommend you use a rate that is very reasonable enough to attract your buyers instead of repelling them.

For a better PrePurchase experience on your website, I usually recommend, providing your customer with RealTime shipping rates at your store's checkout Page. Live Shipping Cost Calculator

Let me know if there are any questions
