In my opinion, setting shipping options is a vital thing for the Shopee seller newbies. What does shipping options mean? It is a service for delivering packages to buyers. The Shopee sellers can provide several shipping options in shipping settings, then the buyer can select one at checkout.
What shipping options can you select on Shopee Malaysia?
There are Shopee Supported Logistics (SSL) and Non-Shopee Supported Logistics (Non-SSL) you can select.
SSL are 3rd-party logistics providers, they integrate with Shopee to provide fast and reliable shipping services to Shopee buyers. The sellers can arrange packages and track shipping info in the Shopee seller center or APP. Non-SSL means you can use your own logistics, but it is not available for every Shopee seller. You need to submit an application to the Shopee team.
Here are SSL and Non-SSL shipping options:
How to set shipping options for your store?
You can set shipping options for your store in the seller center or APP. Via the seller center, you can go to Shipping Settings and select the shipping options you want to provide in your stores.
How to set shipping options for your products?
When you publish or edit products, you can enable the shipping options. But please note that you need to enable the shipping options at the shop level, then you can select in your products page.
How to set shipping fees for your products?
For SSL, the shipping fees are charged based on the weight and size of the package. When you enter the weight and size in your product page, it will show the shipping fees accordingly. To calculate the correct shipping fees and avoid shipping fee overcharge, you need to enter the correct weight and size of your package, do note that not product weight and size.
For Non-SSL, you can set the shipping fees yourself directly. For both SSL and Non-SSL, you can also cover the shipping fees yourself, and your buyers just need to pay for the item price.
