Shipping Method

Shipping methods describe how an order will reach your customer. Give each method a name your team recognizes, such as Local Delivery or Customer Pickup. The default method has a Default badge beside its name.

Choose a method type

Choose the type that describes who will deliver the order:

• Delivery Courier (eg: Fedex/UPS): a courier carries the order.
• In House Delivery: your shop delivers the order.
• Pick Up: the customer collects the order.

These are delivery choices. Adding a courier name does not connect a carrier account. To get carrier rates and buy labels through Shippo, connect Shippo and use the Shippo Integration method.

You can edit the ordinary methods already in your list, such as Fedex and UPS, using the same controls as methods you add.

Add a shipping method

1. Open Configuration in the top navigation.

   

2. Choose Settings.

   

3. In the settings sidebar, click Shipping Method.

   The previous method loses its Default badge.

Manage the Shippo shipping method

When Shippo is connected, a Postal Shipping method with method type Shippo Integration appears in this list.

Connect Shippo through Settings > Apps using Connect Shippo to YoPrint. Shippo Integration is not a type you add from the new-method form. If the Shippo card already says Connected, keep that connection.

You can change the method’s name with Edit. Its Method Type stays Shippo Integration. For an external shipping integration, you can add a margin or markup to the carrier price. Choose the carrier and service when you get a shipping rate, using How to get shipping rates and create labels.

To see why Remove is unavailable:

1. Open More actions for the Shippo method.

   

2. Hover over the disabled Remove option to read the explanation.

   

   The message says to disable Shippo in Apps settings. To disconnect it, follow Disconnect or change the Shippo account.
