Shipping & Delivery

Welcome to your shipping command centre. Whether you are sending local goods or shipping worldwide, our marketplace gives you full control over your delivery strategy. Shipping is one of the most important factors in customer satisfaction, so use these guides to configure your rates, manage delivery options, and keep your customers informed throughout their journey.

Standardising your shipping setup is the most effective way to reduce support queries and build customer trust. We highly recommend reviewing your strategy regularly to ensure your rates remain competitive and profitable.

PLEASE NOTE: You must manually configure shipping zones for every country you wish to sell to, including New Zealand. If your shipping settings for New Zealand are incomplete, your products cannot go live. If any other country is not specifically activated in your settings, customers from that region will be unable to complete their order.
