• Fixed-rate shipping: simple, flat-rate shipping with options to increase shipping on specific items as needed
• Shipping by weight: requires product weight to be entered for each product and broad formulas created to calculate price based on weight
• Various carriers provide their own – requires a shipper account and a website URL with appropriate login credentials with one of the major carriers (UPS, USPS, FedEx, Australia Post, or Canada Post)
