🚚 Set Up Your Wholesale Shipping Rate

Create custom shipping fee rules for B2B customers based on order quantity, amount, or weight.

You can configure flat fees or calculate shipping based on order quantity, subtotal, or weight — aligning logistics costs with your pricing strategy.

Step 1: Enable Shipping Rate & Access Configuration

  1. Go to B2B Pricing in the app sidebar.

  2. Toggle Shipping Rate ON.

  3. Click Configuration.

  4. Click Add Rule.


Step 2: General Information

  1. Enter a Name for your rule (e.g., "B2B Shipping — East Coast").

  2. Toggle the rule Enabled / Disabled.

Important: Make sure your rule name is unique. Duplicate names are not accepted.


Step 3: Apply to Customers

Select which customers this shipping rate applies to:

  • All customers

  • Specific emails — enter individual customer email addresses

  • Customer tags — e.g., wholesale, distributor

  • Logged-in customers only


Step 4: Apply to Markets (Optional)

Restrict this rule to specific Shopify Markets — the geographic selling zones you manage in Shopify Admin → Settings → Markets.

  1. Click Add Market to open the market picker.

  2. Select one or more markets. Each entry shows the market name, number of regions, and a * marker for your primary market.

  3. Click Select to confirm.

Leave this field empty to apply the rule across all markets.

When to use: Use this step when you offer different shipping rates for different geographic regions (e.g., a flat rate for domestic markets, a higher rate for international markets).


Step 5: Apply to Products

Choose which products trigger this shipping rule:

  • All products

  • Specific products or variants

  • Collections

  • Product tags


Step 6: Usage Limits (Optional)

Restrict how many times this rule can be applied:

  • Limit number of times this rule can be applied in total — caps the total usage across all customers

  • Limit number of times this rule can be applied per customer — each customer can only benefit from this rate a set number of times


Step 7: Rule Settings

Choose a range type to base the shipping fee on:

Range Type
What it measures

Quantity

Number of items in the cart

Amount

Total cart value in your store currency

Weight

Total cart weight

Set threshold values (From / To) for each range, then assign the shipping fee:

Method
Description

Percentage

Fee is a percentage of the range value (e.g., 5% of order total)

Fixed shipping fee

A flat amount (e.g., $12.00 for orders 1–50 units)

You can add multiple ranges to create tiered shipping logic.


Step 8: Exclude Customers (Optional)

Prevent specific customers from receiving this shipping rate, even if they match the eligibility criteria in Step 3.

  • None — no customers are excluded

  • Specific customers — enter individual customer email addresses to exclude

  • Customer tags — exclude all customers carrying a specific tag (e.g., vip, staff)


Step 9: Exclude Products (Optional)

Exclude particular products or variants so they do not trigger this shipping rule, even when other products in the cart do.

  • None — no products are excluded

  • Specific products or variants — select individual items to exclude

  • Collections — exclude all products in a specific collection

  • Product tags — exclude products carrying a specific tag


Step 10: Set Schedule (Optional)

Add Start and End dates to automate activation and expiration of this rule.
