POD Shipping Configuration
Set up Shopify shipping zones, profiles, and rates for print-on-demand products once you supply the actual rates from your POD supplier account.
📋 Prompt
I need to configure shipping rates for my print-on-demand Shopify store. Sidekick can’t pull rates from my supplier’s account directly, so I’ll supply them — please configure Shopify with these details: Store name: [YOUR STORE NAME] POD supplier: [e.g., Printful, Printify, Gelato] Actual rates from my supplier account (paste table: region, service level, price): [PASTE SUPPLIER RATES HERE] Fulfillment locations (supplier print facilities): [e.g., US, Latvia, Australia] Primary selling markets: [LIST COUNTRIES OR REGIONS] Free shipping threshold: [DOLLAR AMOUNT or NO] Please help me: Set up Shopify shipping zones that match my primary selling markets and the fulfillment locations above. Create a shipping profile for POD products, separate from any physical inventory products, since POD ships directly from the supplier. Create rate rules in each zone using the exact prices I pasted above: domestic standard, domestic express, international economy, international standard. Set up a free shipping rate for orders over [DOLLAR AMOUNT] within the zone(s) I specify, and flag whether it stays profitable against my average order value based on the rates I gave you. Draft the shipping policy page copy covering production time (typically [NUMBER] business days), transit time, customs/duties expectations for international orders, and what to do if a package is lost or delayed. Confirm the mixed-cart scenario (POD + physical product) doesn’t double-charge shipping, and flag it if it needs a shipping profile adjustment. Show me the zones, rates, and profile you created so I can verify them against my supplier account before going live.
