How to Set Up Rules Based on Origins

Implement Multi-Origin Shipping Rules to Adjust Costs for Drop-Shipping and Stock Management

Overview

ShipperHQ merchants using the multi origin advanced feature can apply shipping rules based on items shipped from one or more origins. 😊 This setup is ideal for handling unique shipping needs, such as:

  • Applying a $10 surcharge for products shipped from a drop-ship partner to cover additional costs
  • Offering discounted shipping fees to reduce stock from a specific origin

Using the shipping rule setup guide, you can apply surcharges or discounts based on designated origins.

Learn how to configure these rules with our step-by-step guide below. 💡
