To get the products to customers, one needs a shipping plan. With Shopify Shipping, one can get discounts on shipping rates, which helps keep costs down and encourages more people to buy from the store.
Think about how much it costs to ship within the country and internationally. One might also wants to offer free shipping, as many shoppers are willing to spend more to qualify for it. One can set a minimum spend amount, like Kerrits does with their “Spend $125 for free shipping” offer.
If one is using the dropshipping model, shipping becomes the responsibility of the supplier. That means one doesn’t have to worry about it—one just focuses on running one’s boutique!
