Dynamic Shipping | Summary for Sellers 

Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing Weight-Based Shipping Model 

Step 1: Understand the Major Changes 

• Major Changes: 

  • The shipping label discount will match the shipping fee paid by the buyer. 

  • Introduce dynamic shipping based on the combined weight of all orders in a shipment and the distance between the seller and buyer locations. 

Step 2: Define Shipping Cost Calculations 

• Shipping Costs Based on Weight: 

  • Determine the shipping cost for different weight brackets. 

  • Example: 4 oz package = $4 8 oz package = $5 

Step 3: Implement Dynamic Shipping 

• Scenario 1: 

  • Buyer purchases Product A (4 oz) and pays $4 shipping. 

  • Buyer purchases Product B (2 oz) later. Combined weight = 6 oz. 

  • Total shipping cost for 6 oz = $5. 

  • Additional shipping cost for Product B = $1 ($5 - $4). 

• Scenario 2: 

  • Buyer purchases Product C (2 oz) and pays $4 shipping. 

  • Buyer purchases Product D (1 oz) later. Combined weight = 3 oz. 

  • Total shipping cost for 3 oz = $4. 

  • No additional shipping cost for Product D. 

Step 4: Apply the New Shipping Policy Across All Sales Channels 

• Live Stream and Shop Purchases: 

  • The dynamic shipping policy applies to both types of purchases. 

  • Buyers can reduce shipping costs by combining new orders with unshipped orders. 

Step 5: Handle Multiple Orders and Weight Calculations 

• Example: 

  • Buyer purchases multiple products totaling 10 oz with a $5 shipping fee. 

  • The seller hasn't shipped the products yet. 

  • Buyer purchases additional products weighing 1.5 oz the next day. 

  • Total weight = 11.5 oz, shipping cost remains $5. 

  • No additional shipping fee for the new order.

Step 6: Calculate Shipping Fees for Mixed-Weight Orders 

• Scenario: 

  • Buyer purchases a 4 oz product and pays $3.79 for shipping. 

  • Buyer purchases another product without a specified weight and pays an incremental $0.50 shipping fee. 

  • Total incremental shipping fee = $0.50 for weightless product. 

By following these steps, you can smoothly transition to a weight-based shipping model, ensuring that all buyers pay fair shipping fees.
