To set up weight-based shipping rates for products in your Webflow E-Commerce store, you can follow these steps:

  1. Define your weight-based shipping zones: Start by determining the different shipping zones you want to set up based on weight. For example, you may have different rates for local, regional, and international orders.

  2. Access your shipping settings: In your Webflow project, go to the E-Commerce settings by clicking on the shopping cart icon in the top navigation bar and selecting "E-Commerce" from the dropdown menu. Then click on "Settings" in the left sidebar.

  3. Set up your shipping rates: In the E-Commerce settings, click on the "Shipping" tab. Under the "Rates" section, click on the "+Add rate" button. This will allow you to create a new shipping rate.

  4. Choose weight-based rate: In the new rate window, select "Weight-based" as the rate type. This will enable you to define shipping rates based on weight ranges.

  5. Define weight ranges and rates: Enter the weight ranges and corresponding shipping rates for each zone you want to set up. For example, you might have a weight range of 0-1kg with a rate of $5 for local shipments, and a weight range of 1-5kg with a rate of $10 for regional shipments.

  6. Save and repeat: After defining the weight ranges and rates for a particular zone, click on the "Add rate" button to add another shipping rate for a different zone. Repeat this step until you have set up rates for all your desired zones.

  7. Adjust other settings: You can also adjust other shipping settings such as minimum order amounts for free shipping, flat rate options, and customizing shipping labels. Make sure to review and adjust these settings as needed.

  8. Test your rates: Before making your store live, it's important to test your weight-based shipping rates to ensure they are working correctly. Place test orders with different weights and addresses to ensure accurate calculations.

Setting up weight-based shipping rates can provide a more accurate and fair shipping cost for your customers, while also preventing any loss in profits. By following these steps, you can easily configure weight-based shipping rates for products in your Webflow E-Commerce store.
