The decision of which shipping method(s) we will use on our store is very important. OpenCart supports standard shipping methods including Free, Flat Rate, Per Item, and Weight Base Shipping and also enables us to use established shippers including UPS, USPS, and Royal Mail. We will cover the most important methods with examples.
In OpenCart, we can apply free shipping to an order. We can provide free shipping on all purchases without a minimum basket value or alternatively, a customer will see the free shipping option on the checkout page if his/her basket is bigger than our pre-defined value.
We should calculate the packing and shipping costs carefully before enabling free shipping since customers will not pay extra for it. Free shipping can be defined for all zones or only one zone. For example, free shipping for orders more than $200 for UK zone visitors.
