7 Shipping Options to Consider for Your Online Store

Shipping is often the “make or break” point of a consumer’s online purchase. If it’s too costly, not offered via their preferred carrier, or perhaps even inconvenient in some way, a

potential customer is more than happy to abandon their shopping cart so they can find what they want elsewhere.

With the right extensions, you can charge more accurately, split up orders, and even skip the shipping process entirely.

1- Add-on shipping solutions:

Shipping providers — Plugins from local providers including real-time rate calculation based on estimated weight and customer location. Process automation — like label printing, drop shipment notifications, email notifications, and so on. Third party sync — Sync with external providers who manage shipments, returns, or customer communication.

2- Location, order size, or weight-based fee calculation:

A customer located in your country will expect a variety of affordable options for receiving their order, including trusted local methods or even in-person pickup.

3-Add or remove shipping options at checkout:

Ship to multiple addresses: allow orders to be split up at checkout.

Conditional shipping: restrict products based on a customer’s location.

4- Local pickup: skip the shipment entirely:

The Local Pickup Plus extension offers multiple

advanced options, including pickup from different

locations, automatic pickup discounts, and the ability

to split an order if desired.

5- Print and include invoices or packing slips:

Companies rely on them to show they’ve received orders, or send them to their accounts payable departments to receive reimbursement for a

purchase.

And that’s exactly what the Print Invoices and Packing Lists extension does.

6- Change your shipping options until you’re customers are satisfied:

Try one, two, or all of them until you’re satisfied with the results and all the options you’re able to extend

to your customers.
