Give customers the option to have their order(s) shipped, picked up, or delivered based on the shipping preferences you set up for your online store.

Choose Shipping Preferences:

Inside Ricochet,

  1. Click Online Store

  2. Click Shipping

    Under the Shipping section,

  3. Confirm Ship Items is toggled ON

  4. Confirm In-Store Pickup Available is toggled ON if you want to offer the option for the customer to pick up the item(s) themselves instead of having it shipped

    NOTE: Free Shipping Store-Wide is toggled OFF by default. Click here for steps on creating Free Shipping Thresholds.

  5. Select Rate Type

    • DYNAMIC rates will do its best to automatically calculate shipping cost by using the product weight and the customer's postal code.

      Under Dynamic Shipping Rates

      • Toggle ON any shipping rates that you would like to ship your items with. At checkout, the customer will be presented with an option to choose one of the available rates. For optimal customer experience we recommend limiting these to 2-3 carrier options.

    • FLAT rates let you assign thresholds to create shipping tiers based on weight or value.

      • Select By Price or By Weight

      • Click the plus (+) sign to add a new threshold

      • Input Threshold and Fee

      • Click Save

        NOTE: Before being able to switch to Dynamic, or another Flat Rate type, all existing Flat Rates must be removed.

  6. Decide if you will offer Local Delivery. Local delivery is based on postal code.

    • Click the plus (+) sign below the "Fee" column

    • Input Postcodes and Fee

    • Click Save

      NOTE: Local Delivery is NOT RECOMMENDED for multi-location webstore. If you choose a postal code you are willing to deliver to, you will need to ensure you are willing to deliver to that location regardless of which store the item is coming from.
