Configure Shipping Options for the Store
You can implement shipping charges using either a flat rate for an order or a tiered schedule that takes into account the number of items in the order or the total price of the order. This per-order shipping is separate from any shipping charges that apply for shipping to an additional address or any additional shipping charges that apply for specific items.
Note: When you enable Card Fulfillment, the store cannot have shippable products. The store will only send cards. If you need to ship products, create a separate store to offer the shippable products, and do not enable Card Fulfillment in that store.
You can set up separate tiered schedules for standard and express shipping.
