Shipping Control
Flexible Shipping Rates Built for COD Complexity
Define shipping rules based on order total, product weight, and province — and let BuyEase automatically apply the correct rate for every customer.
What is Conditional Shipping Rates?
Shipping rate flexibility is a critical competitive advantage for COD merchants. BuyEase's Conditional Shipping Rates engine allows you to define complex, multi-condition shipping rules that go far beyond what Shopify's native shipping settings can support.
Create rates based on combinations of conditions: order total thresholds, product weight ranges, specific product tags, and geographic location by province or state. Offer free shipping above $50, charge more for heavy items, apply different rates to specific regions — BuyEase selects and displays the correct rate automatically based on each customer's cart and address.
This level of control prevents margin loss on underpriced shipping to distant regions or heavy shipments, while maintaining competitive rates in your primary markets. The right shipping rate is shown to the right customer, automatically, every time.

Real-World Results
How merchants use Conditional Shipping Rates
City vs. Province Rate Differentiation
A merchant offers free shipping in 3 core cities but charges a flat rate in other provinces. BuyEase fires the correct rate automatically based on the customer's entered address.
Weight-Based Margin Protection
An electronics merchant charges standard shipping for lightweight accessories but applies a heavy-item surcharge for large products — protecting margin on every order automatically.
FAQs
Common questions about Conditional Shipping Rates
How many shipping rules can I create?+
There is no limit to the number of shipping rules you can create within BuyEase. Build as many rules as your pricing structure requires.
What happens if multiple rules match a customer's order?+
BuyEase applies priority ordering — you define which rule takes precedence when multiple conditions match. The highest-priority matching rule is applied.
