Catalog's shipping options differ depending on your store's Shopify plan. If your Partner is on Shopify, activate multi-origin shipping in Shopify by following the steps here. If your Partner is using Catalog's API, then the shipping-rates endpoint will automatically provide the agreed upon flat rate.
Shopify Basic vs Shopify Advanced, and Plus plans
Advanced plans
If you are on Shopify Advanced or Shopify Plus plans we will automatically add a Catalog Delivery Profile to your App Shipping Profiles when you install the app. This allows our app to control the shipping rates of any Catalog products, based on the terms agreed to in your proposal.
Additionally, the Catalog Delivery Profile gives you access to our dynamic shipping rate option. Selecting this option will pass the shipping rate from the Brand's website through to your checkout.
Basic plan
If you are on the Shopify Basic plan Catalog will automatically set up a new shipping profile with the agreed upon flat rate for each new Brand when the proposal is accepted. If you and your Brand partner re-negotiate shipping terms, Catalog will update the rate automatically.
Note: Brand's dynamic rate is available for customers using Shopify Plus or higher. If you are using Shopify Basic, you’ll need to upgrade your account to include carrier shipping or switch to Shopify Yearly Billing to gain access. Once you upgrade or switch, please contact us to get access.
How does shipping work with my free shipping threshold?
Both the Brands products and your products will count towards your free shipping threshold. This was designed with the best customer experience in mind. Brand shipping rates will still be added separately for Brand products in the order. If you do not want Catalog products to count toward your site's free shipping threshold, you can navigate to "Settings" > "Shipping & Orders" > select "Separated" for your Free Shipping Contribution setting.
*Note: For this feature to work you will need to download and onboard onto the Catalog for Brands app. You are required for us to have both apps for us to correctly calculate your cart's shipping totals. This is currently a Beta feature on Catalog.
