Apply shipping charges to all products at once
Shipping charges on LaunchMyStore are calculated per order, not per product. That means you do not set a shipping rate on each product individually — you set the rules once on the shipping zone, and the rule applies to every order shipped to that zone.
Why per-order, not per-product
- Customers expect a single shipping cost, not one fee per item in the cart.
- Couriers price by package weight and dimensions, not by individual SKU.
- Zone-based rules scale — one change updates shipping for every product automatically.
What this means in practice
- Add a flat rate on a zone — every order in that zone pays the same shipping fee, no matter how many products are in the cart.
- Add a weight-based rate — shipping scales with the sum of product weights, so heavier carts pay more.
- Add a free-shipping threshold — every order over the threshold ships free.
Configuration steps
- Go to Settings → Shipping & Delivery.
- Open the zone you want to update (or create one).
- Add a rate — flat, free, price-based, or weight-based.
- Save.

Per-product exceptions
If you have a single product that genuinely costs more to ship than the rest (oversized, fragile, hazmat), set its weight high enough that the weight-based rate covers the extra cost — or install a delivery customization app that adds a surcharge for specific SKUs.
FAQ
Can I set free shipping on one product and not others?
The shipping rule applies to the whole order. To approximate "free on this product" use a discount code with free shipping as the type, restricted to a specific collection or product.
How do I add a handling fee on top of shipping?
Add the handling fee into the shipping rate — for example flat rate $7 instead of $5. Or, if you want it itemised separately, install a checkout extension or order fee app.
Do I need shipping rates for digital products?
No. Mark the product as digital and orders containing only digital items will skip shipping entirely.
What if my product is very heavy?
Set its weight in the catalog and use a weight-based rate so the shipping fee scales correctly with the cart weight.
