Shipping settings and methods are one of the critical points of every webstore. In this article I will show you how you can configure your Shipping settings and methods in Magento 2.0.<\/p>\n

Shipping Settings in Magento 2.0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Shipping Settings you need to indicate the address from which all shipments are made and configure your preferences for shipments to multiple addresses.<\/p>\n

Stores -> Configuration -> Sales -> Shipping Settings<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"screen<\/p>\n

We indicate the Origin<\/strong> of your deliveries.<\/p>\n

\"screen<\/p>\n

If you want to establish a custom Shipping Policy, you need to select “Yes” in “Apply Custom Shipping Policy” tab. You will have a field where you can write a message to your customers to explain the policy.<\/p>\n

After these settings are done, you press the Save Config button.<\/p>\n

Stores -> Configuration -> Sales -> Multishipping Settings<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Click to expand Options section.<\/p>\n

\"screen<\/p>\n

If you would like to allow items from a single order to be sent to different destinations, you need to press “yes”. You can limit the number of addresses that can be used in one single order.<\/p>\n

Let’s say I select “Yes” and limit Maximum quantity to 2. My customer wants to buy a Camera, a Bag and a Table. He wants it to be shipped to 3 different addresses, but he can’t, because we limited the number of addresses in one single order to 2. So he is allowed to only send the Camera to Address A and the Bag to address B, but if he wants to send the Table to address C, he will need to make a separate order.<\/p>\n

When complete, press the Save Config button.<\/p>\n

Shipping Methods in Magento 2.0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stores -> Configuration -> Sales -> Shipping Methods<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here you can see all the basic shipping methods in Magento 2.0.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at some of them.<\/p>\n

Free Shipping in Magento 2.0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Free shipping is considered to be one of the most effective means of promotion. It can be based on a minimum order amount or set up as a shopping price rule and be applied if certain conditions are met.<\/p>\n

\"screen<\/p>\n

To enable the method, select “Yes” in the first line.<\/p>\n

You can change the title of the shipping method.<\/p>\n

You can establish a Minimum Order Amount as a condition that needs to be met to allow Free Shipping. The amount is in your default currency.<\/p>\n

You can also choose to which countries you allow Free Shipping. By default, all countries are allowed to benefit from Free shipping.<\/p>\n

Flat Rate Shipping in Magento 2.0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flat Rate is a fixed price of shipping per item or per shipment.<\/p>\n

This is a simple solution that is especially convenient when your carrier has a flat rate of shipment per package.<\/p>\n

\"screen<\/p>\n

How to enable Flat Rate?<\/p>\n

Select “Yes” in the first line.<\/p>\n

Change Title and Method Name if you want.<\/p>\n

Select how you want to apply flat rate: per item or per order.<\/p>\n

Indicate the price that the customer will pay per shipment or per item.<\/p>\n

You can also establish Handling Fee. This is the compensation for the expenses that are required to handle and\/or pack and ship the items. Select you want it to be fixed or percent-based. Indicate your percent or fixed price of handling.<\/p>\n

Write down the Displayed Error Message.<\/p>\n

Select Applicable countries to which you allow shipments for which the rate is flat. By default Flat Rate is applicable to all countries.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to press the Save Config button.<\/p>\n

Table Rate in Magento 2.0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a relatively complicated method of shipping price calculation. It can be done in 2 steps.<\/p>\n

Step 1. Default Settings<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Enable it, make all the necessary changes. These settings are pretty similar to Flat Rate Settings except that here you have to select between 3 conditions:<\/p>\n
