Hi @Nikkicp09

This is Richard from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App, I’d like to suggest this idea:

Log in to your Shopify admin panel.
Settings > Shipping and delivery
On the Shipping and delivery settings page, you’ll see the Shipping Rates section. Click on “Manage rates” to configure your shipping options.

Hope you find my answer helpful!

Best regards,
