Custom Shipping Examples
Customized shipping rates may seem complicated to set up. This is mostly true if you do not have the right app to help you with the configuration. With the Wholesale Hero app, customizing shipping rates is easier than you expected. It saves you a lot of time and effort, allowing you to choose from different options according to your preference.
Look at some of the case examples below to learn how to use or set the custom shipping feature of the Wholesale Hero app:
Example 1: FREE SHIPPING FOR WHOLESALE CUSTOMERS WHO SPEND OVER €500.
To set free shipping to any wholesale customer whose total purchase exceeds €500, follow the steps below:
1. From the dashboard, choose a discount group where you want to set free shipping by clicking its Edit button. In this example, we choose a discount group named Opal.
2. Scroll down to theOptional Settings section and click Shipping.
3. Click the radio button for Set a flat rate for the entire order.
4. Set the flat rate to 0.
5. Set the Cart total price to greater than 500 EUR.
6. Click Save.
A shipping line item labeled "Opal Shipping Rate" will be applied to the order at checkout.
Example 2: RETAIL CUSTOMERS GET FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $100 (set in Shopify admin). WHOLESALE CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT GET FREE SHIPPING
