App reviews, troubleshooting, and recommendations
I want to use the shipping rate from my Aliexpress provider ( ePacket or Standard Aliexpress Shipping).
Do I have to buy a specific Shopify plan or buy an option to do this?
Hi, @Shopy_me!
Thanks for reaching out in our Community forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.
You mentioned that you are looking to adjust your shipping strategy and offer shipping rates directly from your AliExpress provider. It is a good idea to consider that unexpected shipping costs are one of the top reasons customers abandon their carts. Offering free shipping is a great way to reduce carts from being abandoned. If you are looking to implement this strategy, I would recommend to start selling to one or two countries and then expand once you’re comfortable with the dropshipping process. Checking out this help document to learn more about finding the best shipping options for your business. Once you have a better idea of your costs and strategy, you can set up your shipping rates within Shopify accordingly
In terms of offering calculated shipping at check out, this is possible depending on your store's Shopify subscription plan. You will be able to add rates from your own account with USPS, FedEx, UPS, and Canada Post, as well as any calculated rates from any shipping apps. Check out our guide on creating calculated shipping rates to learn more.
