The Problem: Shopify's Standard Shipping Can't Keep Up
Most merchants struggle with one-size-fits-all shipping rates that hurt profits and drive customers away.
74% Cart Abandonment*
Some merchants report losing up to $25,000 annually from customers who abandon carts because they're shocked by unexpected shipping costs at checkout.
Vanishing Profit Margins
Charge too little for heavy items, and your margins disappear. Charge too much for lightweight products, and customers leave.
Dropshipping Dilemma
Multi-supplier inventory means inconsistent costs that can't be reflected in standard Shopify shipping, leading to unpredictable margins.
Locked Into Flat Rates
Without per-product shipping, you can't offer special handling for fragile items or expedited options just for certain products.
You Need Control, But Shopify Alone Doesn't Give It To You
Standard Shopify forces you to compromise: either lose money on expensive-to-ship items or overcharge customers for small products. Many merchants report significant monthly losses in shipping-related expenses and abandoned carts.

WITHOUT Better Shipping
Standard Shopify Shipping
One-Size-Fits-All Rates
Heavy, fragile, or oversized items are all charged the same, forcing you to average out costs and lose money on expensive-to-ship items.
No Item-Specific Control
Can't create tiered shipping ($5 first item, $2 additional) or exclude certain products from promotions like "free over $100."
Limited Regional Control
Can't combine product-specific rules with destination-based rates, forcing you to either overcharge some customers or lose money on others.

Perfect for Your Business Model
See how merchants just like you are using Better Shipping's per-product feature to solve real business challenges.
Apparel & Accessories Stores
Challenge: Different apparel items have varied shipping costs. T-shirts are light and inexpensive to ship, while jackets and boots cost more.
Solution: Create a tiered structure where basic apparel ships for $3.99, medium-weight items for $5.99, and heavy/bulky items for $8.99.
Potential Outcome: Customers pay fair shipping rates based on what they order. Profit margins remain more consistent across all products, potentially reducing cart abandonment.
Dropshipping Businesses
Challenge: Products come from different suppliers with varying shipping costs that eat into profit margins when using averaged shipping.
Solution: Set specific shipping rates for each product that match supplier shipping costs, ensuring consistent profits regardless of which products sell.
Potential Outcome: Better control over profit margins by eliminating shipping losses. Ability to offer free shipping on high-margin items while properly charging for low-margin products.
Home Goods & Furniture
Challenge: Extreme variance in product sizes and weights, from small decorative items to large furniture pieces.
Solution: Implement per-product shipping with distinct tiers: decorative items ($5-8), medium items ($15-20), and furniture ($50-100) with the ability to exclude furniture from free shipping thresholds.
Potential Outcome: Improved sales for large items with appropriate shipping costs. Better protection of margins on bulky items while still offering attractive shipping on smaller products.
Mixed-Product Retailers
Challenge: Diverse product catalog with hundreds of items having different shipping requirements and costs.
Solution: Create product categories with bulk-applied shipping rates, then fine-tune individual outliers. Set up tiered shipping groups for similar products.
Potential Outcome: Shipping costs more accurately reflect actual expenses. Possible increase in average order value as customers see reasonable shipping costs for each product.
