The shipping methods you choose depend on the types of products you sell. Below, we’ll go over some common options.
You Always Need Shipping Methods When Selling Physical Products
If you sell clothes, electronics, furniture, toys, or any other physical products, your store must offer at least one shipping option. Choose a shipping method based on the size, weight, and destination of the products.
For example, small items can often be shipped conveniently by standard postal services, while larger or heavier items might require courier or freight delivery.
You can connect your store with different logistics platforms or carriers to access a variety of shipping options. Popular choices include DHL, UPS, FedEx, DPD, and local postal services in your region.
No Shipping Methods Needed for Digital Products
Digital products are delivered to the customer electronically after a successful order and payment.
If your store only sells digital items (such as downloadable files or online courses), you don’t need to activate any shipping methods.
