Here's how to set up Shipping Rate Rules in Cratejoy

Follow along with this step-by-step process to build shipping rules in Cratejoy for Simple Export Rate. The "simple" pricing structure is based on whether you're shipping to Canada or the rest of the world.

Add Shipping Rate Rules for Canada

  • Find Rate Rules in Shipping Settings: In your Cratejoy dashboard, go to Settings > Shipping and scroll to the Rate Rules section at the bottom:

There's an 'Add A Country' button at the center of the page under where it says 'Shipping rules are great! Here's where you can add new shipping rates to new countries. Rules can be created based on Order Price, Order Weight, or entire Countries.'

  • Add Country: Click Add A Country and type Canada into the search field:

  • You'll need to create a weight-based rule for each Canada rate:

  • If your packages will never be in some of these weight ranges, skip them. Once you've created every Canada rule, it should look like this:

Add Shipping Rate Rules for the rest of the world

  • Add Rules for the Rest of the World: Now, we need to add the "Rest of World" rules. Click the + Country button on the top right, and type Rest of World in the search box:

  • Save and Finish: Hit Save - you're done! These rates will now show up in your checkout for international customers, based on the total weight of the items in their order.

Pro tips for international shipping through Simple Export Rate

  • Check Your Margins: If you've built domestic shipping costs into your subscription's margins, make sure to remove that amount from the international rates to maximize your sales!

  • Consider the Cost of Insurance: Other countries' postal services are not as good as the USPS®, so packages can go missing or get damaged. Depending on how much it costs you to send replacements, consider building insurance costs into your rate rules as well ($1.35 per $100 insured).
