Considerations for setting up transit time
Before you add transit time to your shipping rates, review the following considerations:
- Transit time is available to fulfillment locations in the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
- Transit time works only with stores that usemulti-origin shipping.
- 运输时间不占订单处理time. For more information about processing time, refer to理解和减少处理时间.
- Transit time forcombined shipping ratesis displayed at checkout only when shipping rates from different profiles have transit time. The slowest transit time is displayed.
- You can configure transit time only for flat shipping rates. Transit time is automatically included in the carrier-calculated shipping rates.
- Your shipping zones can't have a mix of domestic and international countries. For example, if your store is located in the United States and you also ship to France, then you need to set up one shipping zone for the United States and another for France. You can't have both countries in one zone.
- Transit time works with mixed location groups only if all locations in the group are in the same country.
- Set up your apps and locations before your set up transit time. Apps that manage fulfillment, such as Printful, are automatically added as a location to your shipping profile and can deactivate transit time for your existing shipping rates.
Add transit time to your shipping rate
When you add transit time to a shipping rate, the transit time is displayed underneath the default shipping rate name that customers can choose at checkout. For example,Express (1 to 2 business days)shipping option is displayed to your customers at checkout.
