How does Shopify ship? What are Shopify's shipping methods?

There are more and more merchants opening stores on Shopify independent stations. Merchants need to deal with many things every day. For example, if a consumer places an order, merchants need to ship the goods. So how should merchants operate the shipment on this platform?

There are generally three ways to ship on Shopify:

1. Self-delivery. The seller contacts the logistics company to ship the goods to the buyer's delivery address;

2. Shopify Shipping. Connect your Shopify account to Shopify's shipping carrier account, but it only applies to orders shipped from shipping locations in the United States, Canada, and Australia.

3. Delivery by delivery platform. This method mainly involves delivery through third-party overseas warehouses.

If you are a seller of virtual products, you do not need to set up shipping.

Shopify delivery process:

Step 1: Enter the Shopify backend, find Settings, then set the shipping address and deliverable area, and add shipping costs or activate shipping cost calculation.

Step 2: Find "Orders", find the unshipped order, select the location you want to use, and then click Save; if you are using Shopify Shipping, then you must select Create Shipping Label in Unshipped.

Step 3: Then change the quantity of products to be shipped and select the shipping method;

Step 4: Enter the shipping tracking number in the tracking number section of the order. The buyer can see the tracking URL in the email.

You can choose yourself as the transport carrier.

Step 5: If you have saved the customer's email address, you can choose whether to send the shipping information to the customer immediately.

Step 6: After clicking confirm shipment, the order information in the Shopify backend will be updated, and you can see which orders have been shipped and which have not been shipped.

Step 7: If the seller wants to see the order delivery information or add a waybill number, he needs to add tracking in the shipped part of the order.

Now that you understand the Shopify delivery process, there are a lot of things to note and know that you should be aware of:

1. Try Shopify Shipping. After the order is marked as shipped, you can also print the label.

2. The Shopify backend also supports batch delivery.

3. The operation process of Shopify mobile backend is similar to the above.

4. After setting the shipping method, the buyer can choose any shipping method when paying.

5. Shopify Shipping purchases and prints shipping labels. You need to select a label printer and a default packaging type.
