  • Current approach: Manually adds the shipping rate to the base product cost, then calculates a profit margin to set a retail price.

  • Pain point: Manual calculations are time-consuming and error-prone when trying to fold shipping into the item price.

  • Requested capability: An automatic way (e.g., pricing setting or integration) that combines product cost and shipping rate to suggest or set a retail price that preserves a target profit, while keeping shipping marked as free at checkout.

Hello, I have a question about shipping rates being added to the total retail price. I am using Printify to make some products however I made the shipping free and would rather include it within the price. Until now I have been manually calculating my profit margin of the original product cost plus the shipping rate I was wondering if there was a way to automatically calculate both the product cost and shipping rate together to more easily determine how much I need to charge for profit and the total product retail sale cost. Thank you for the assistance.
