How to make shipments in e-commerce: steps to organize it

A shipping method is a logistics solution to bring orders to your customers. If you need to move your orders, it is essential that you add at least one in your online store.

Remember that most users who buy online do so because it is convenient and allows them to receive their products wherever they are. Therefore, it is important that you have configured some shipping options for your customers.

How does logistics work in e-commerce?

In your Tiendanube you have an integrated shipping cost calculator that automates the calculation of the value of the shipment so that your client can see it in the checkout form and, thus, speed up the purchase process for both parties.

In this way, your client knows how much he has to pay for the products and how much for the shipping.

For the calculator to work correctly, two things must be configured:

Your shipping methods, either those that are integrated into your store or manually setting your costs.
The weight of your products. If you have doubts about the weight, you can look at our ,

What you have to do is configure the shipments that you want to offer (such as ) so that later your client can choose the one that is most convenient for him based on the options that he has in his location.

For example, you can configure shipments for the entire country and other personalized options for certain provinces and your client will see the shipment(s) that apply to their province.

Clarification: If you see that the shipping options you configured do not appear in some products, we suggest you check that the weight and/or dimensions that you have placed in those products are those allowed by the shipping companies.
