Overview

This guide helps you create a flat rate carrier option that offers customers a fixed shipping rate, regardless of item weight or cart quantity. 😊

Steps

1. In ShipperHQ, add a new Custom Rate Carrier through the "Carriers" tab or the Marketplace.
2. Name your carrier. You can change this anytime.
3. On the Basic panel, select an "Attached Origin" and assign a Carrier Title for display.
4. Define package restrictions or fees in the Package and Fees tabs.
5. Use the Optional tab for zone and geographic restrictions like delivery radius.
   • Check "Restrict Carrier to Specified Radius" to limit the carrier's delivery range.

6. In the Rates panel, set your Flat Rate Shipping amount, such as $5.95. 💡 Set this rate per order, item, or package.

Additional Options

If you want to adjust flat rates based on weight, price, or quantity, refer to the Custom Defined Carrier article for creating a Custom Carrier. For live rates with carriers like FedEx, UPS, or USPS, follow their respective guides to set up live rate carriers.

Next Steps

Now that your Flat Rate Carrier is set up, consider the following:

• Create Shipping Rules - set, surcharge, or hide your flat rate method based on cart conditions.
• Add a Live Rate Carrier - offer expedited methods with live calculations through UPS, FedEx, USPS, and more.
