The base rate for first-class in Shopify is $1.26, which is the correct base rate for flats, not for envelopes. All of our items are able to ship in envelopes. How do we get the normal first-class rate?
Hi @dmxrob ,
If you want to use the normal first-class rate for envelopes in Shopify, you will need to update your shipping settings to reflect this. Here are the steps to do so:
-
Login to your Shopify account and go to the “Settings” section in the lower left-hand corner.
-
Click on “Shipping and Delivery” from the settings menu.
-
In the “Shipping Rates” section, click on “Manage Rates” for the shipping zone where you want to adjust rates.
-
Click on the “Add Rate” button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
-
In the “Add rate” section, enter a name for the shipping rate, such as “First-Class Envelope”.
-
Set the “Rate Type” to “Price-Based Rates”.
-
In the “Conditions” section, select “Envelopes” as the package type.
-
In the “Rates” section, enter the appropriate rates based on the weight of the package. You can find the current USPS rates for first-class mail envelopes on their website.
-
Save the new shipping rate.
-
Test the new rate by adding a product to your cart and going through the checkout process to make sure the correct shipping rate is applied.
By creating a new shipping rate specifically for envelopes, you can ensure that the correct rates are applied to your products based on their packaging.
