Frequently Asked Questions
Does Shopify provide shipping?
Shopify offers a few built-in shipping options, including Shopify Shipping. So why choose a third-party option? It’s simple: As the leading fulfillment provider for Shopify stores, ShipBob’s bread-and-butter is just that — order fulfillment. Shopify Shipping requires you to ship out orders from your post office of choice, can require a lot of manual backend work, and can be difficult to scale as your business grows. ShipBob is built to integrate seamlessly, automate your fulfillment, and scale with your business — no post office visits needed.
How do I offer free shipping on Shopify?
ShipBob can help you offer free shipping on your Shopify store without breaking the bank. You can require a minimum spend threshold for free shipping that’s greater than your average order value (AOV), bundle products, use free shipping calculators or a progress bar showing the amount of money a customer needs to spend to qualify for free shipping, and of course promote free shipping offers on your website banner.
Does Shopify provide shipping labels?
With Shopify Shipping, you’ll need to purchase shipping labels for each order through Shopify, then print and attach labels to each package. With ShipBob, we can not only store your inventory but shipping labels are automatically generated as soon as an order is placed on your Shopify store — then we’ll pick, pack, and ship the order for you. No printer necessary.
Does Shopify calculate shipping?
Shopify Shipping offers a real-time shipping app that calculates accurate shipping costs to display to your customers at checkout. It’s done automatically for any product and is based on the customer’s location and delivery preferences.
