Shipping charges by weight

Your store can work out the delivery charge in one of two ways:

• Your own weight slabs — a fixed charge for each weight range, which you set here. Simple and predictable.
• Shiprocket — live courier rates for each delivery address. See Shiprocket setup.

You choose in Settings → Shipping:

• Shipping: Charge for delivery — on to charge for delivery at all. Off means delivery is always free.
• Shipping Values — My own weight slabs, or (switched off) Quoted by Shiprocket.

How weight slabs work#

1. The store adds up the weight of everything in the cart: each variant's Weight (grams) × quantity. A variant with no weight counts as the default parcel weight (0.5 kg unless changed on the Shiprocket screen).
2. It finds the slab whose range contains that total.
3. That slab's charge is the delivery charge.

The starter store's slabs:

Add a slab#

1. Go to Configuration → Shipping and select Add New.
2. Enter From Weight and To Weight in grams, and the Charge in your default currency. If you sell in other currencies, each one has its own charge box — leave it blank to convert.
3. Leave Status on Active and select Submit.

Make each slab start one gram after the last one ended: 1–500, 501–1000, 1001–1500.

Weights matter#

The slab is only as right as your product weights. Enter the packed weight of every variant on the product form — box and packaging included.

Free shipping#

Free-shipping rules apply on top of your slabs: when they are met, delivery is free. See Free shipping.

Common questions#

Can I charge a flat fee for every order?#

Yes: make one slab from 1 g to a very large weight, with your flat charge.

Can I charge different amounts for different cities?#

Not with weight slabs. Use Shiprocket, which prices each delivery by distance, or free shipping on chosen pincodes.
