Enabling Easyship Shipping Services at Checkout

SHOPLINE has partnered with Easyship, a comprehensive logistics platform, to enhance your store's shipping capabilities. This integration provides your customers with convenient shipping options and real-time shipping rate calculations directly at checkout.

Once setup is complete, Easyship will automatically calculate estimated shipping fees based on the shipping and delivery addresses, as well as your product's dimensions and weight. The available shipping services and corresponding costs will then be displayed to customers during checkout, ensuring transparency and flexibility in their purchase experience.

Note: To protect your profit margins, SHOPLINE recommends having customers cover the shipping fees.

Configuring Shipping Display Rules

To accurately display shipping rates at checkout, you need to complete a few key configurations in Easyship, including setting the fallback product information and customizing the shipping display rules.

Products

In the Products section, set the fallback weight and dimensions for your products. If a product is missing weight or size data, the system will use these fallback values to calculate shipping costs. This ensures a smooth checkout experience for your customers.

  1. In the Shipping Rules section, click Add rules.

Special Configuration Requirements for Easyship

To ensure shipping accuracy and fulfillment efficiency, Easyship requires the following configurations:

Product Listing

All products created in SHOPLINE must be synced to Easyship with complete information, including weight, dimensions, and product collection. Be sure to accurately configure product details in the Easyship admin. For step-by-step guidance, see Adding and Editing Products.

Shipping Boxes

To protect products during delivery, we recommend using appropriate packaging and saving your commonly used box dimensions in Easyship. When an order includes multiple products, Easyship will automatically calculate and assign the most suitable box from your saved options. This configuration helps ensure accurate rate calculation and reliable packaging. For setup instructions, see Saving Shipping Boxes.
