Shopify charges twice for shipping multiple items bought from ONE fulfillment location

Topic summary

A merchant is experiencing double shipping charges when customers purchase multiple items, despite having only one fulfillment location active.

Issue:

  • Shipping costs are duplicating for orders containing two or more different products
  • Only one fulfillment location is configured
  • Merchant wants to avoid paying for third-party shipping apps

Suggested Solution:

  • The problem likely stems from having multiple shipping profiles configured
  • When products belong to different shipping profiles, Shopify combines their individual shipping costs

Hi, I need help. I have removed all other fulfillment locations except for one but when someone buys two or more different items from the shop, Shopify still doubles the shipping cost.

Is there a solution for this within Shopify without resorting to paying extra for a third-party shipping app? What am I missing?

Hey!

It sounds like Shopify is charging extra because you might have multiple shipping profiles set up. When products from different profiles are ordered together, Shopify adds up the shipping costs from each profile, which could be why you’re seeing double charges.

To fix this, try adding all your products under a single shipping profile with your fulfillment location. That should stop the extra shipping charges from stacking up.

Hope this helps!
