We charge shipping on a per item basis, with different charges depending on what type of item the customer buys and where it’s being shipped. To accomplish this, I have created one shipping profile per item type, which contains each country we ship to and the price we charge to ship that item type …

Hello @RareVinyl ! I understand what you did there with the shipping profiles to set specific rates based on the actual product, however this method does not take into account the product quantity. At the moment, there is not native way to assign shipping rates based on the amount of products orde…

Hi @RareVinyl , If you are looking for quantity-based packing then, unfortunately, Shopify only has weight-based packing. The only workaround to get accurate shipping rates based on the no. of items your customer adds, is via app/s. As @Lana_2 mentioned you can do this easily using Multi Carrier S…

I realize this thread is old but I wanted to try asking a question here rather than creating an entirely new thread. I’ve been experiencing the same issue with my shipping charges. My situation is a bit different, however. I use Printify and Printful to fulfill orders, each of these production part…

I cannot believe that despite all of the correspondences here, Shopify still does not include ‘’ per-item shipping profile’’ in the system. I have about 1000+ products and the weight all different.

But in order to set this up I had to edit the weight of each item. Then at checkout, it shows the shi…

I figured out a workaround for this but it takes some time to setup and will only work if you don’t already have product weight set on your products in Shopify. You can change the weight on each product to 1lb and then create a shipping table with multiple rates that scales up pricing based on each …

What we ended up doing is to offer free shipping for all items, then to include the shipping price in the cost of the item. Not ideal because it raises the cost of the item so reduces add to cart, but it’s great to advertise free shipping and increases conversions once the item is in the cart, so it…

Doesn’t work for me as I also use my shopify page to advertise my in-person business, and we also offer free in store pickup. It’s madness quantity based shipping isn’t an option when flat rate shipping on items is. Seems like something they could fix very quickly but no one cares to.

We actually ended up using the Bespoke Shipping app - it has a scripting tool that allowed us to offer the exact shipping charges we wanted to.
