In this post, we will learn how to create and manage Shipping and Shipping Rates for selected products and shipping locations. Go to Shippings > Shipping & Delivery.

For shipping, there are three shipping options.

1. Flate Rate Shipping - How many products a customer purchases, doesn't matter. Shipping cost is fixed.

2. Product Wise - Shipping cost is calculated by each product shipping cost. You can set product shipping costs when creating or editing a product if the product-wise shipping cost is enabled.

3. Shipping Profile - Shipping cost will be calculated by each product Shipping profile. Below is a details explanation of how a shipping profile actually works.

Shipping rate and shipping location are very important parts of our e-commerce. CartLooks will give you the features to maintain shipping rates and shipping locations for selected products like Shopify.

From the Shipping > Shipping & Delivery modules, you can create, and manage, a shipping profile.

You can also create different shipping zones for each shipping profile based on different shipping locations around the world.

After creating the shipping zone for the selected shipping location you can create different shipping rates.

CartLooks will give you the functionality to create custom and 3rd party carriers' shipping rates and also allows you to create conditional shipping rates, like weight-based shipping rates.

You can also set the delivery time for each shipping rate.

When a customer tries to buy a product from his/her location she or he can choose the shipping rate and delivery method from the shipping rates that match his/her location and selected product.

Go to the Shipping > Shipping & Delivery module. Save shipping option Based on Shipping Profiles. Shipping profiles and shipping times will be available
