When you are confident that youunderstand how shipping works, the next step is to set up your shipping strategy. You can use shipping, local delivery, and local pickup methods.
If you use shipping carriers to deliver your products, then you can add flat or calculated shipping rates to your general shipping profile that apply to all your products, or add products to custom shipping profiles with their own shipping rates.
For businesses with multiple locations, you can set shipping rates per location within each shipping profile for greater control over your shipping costs.
If you want to offer local methods for customers to receive their products, then you can set up pickup and local delivery.
