Shipping templates let you manage your shipping settings across several
products at once (e.g. service levels, shipping regions, transit times, and shipping
rates). You can create up to 20 shipping templates for specific groups of SKUs.
Before you create a template, make sure you understand the requirements for shipping templates and verify that your default shipping
address is accurate.
Create a new shipping template
-
From the Settings menu, click Shipping Settings, then verify your Default
Shipping Address is correct before creating a new shipping
template.
-
On the Shipping Templates tab:
-
Click Create New Shipping Template, or
-
Choose an option under No, I want to copy the content
from.
-
Click OK.
-
Enter the template name (for example, "Free Shipping").
-
Choose the rate model for your shipping rates:
-
Per item/weight-based, or
-
Price banded.
-
Enable or disable Prime delivery as required.
-
Select or deselect Same day for Handling Time
Settings.
-
Edit Shipping Options, Regions, and
Rates as applicable.
-
Enable Domestic or International
shipping options (e.g. Expedited) by selecting the checkbox next to the
shipping option name.
-
Select the regions by clicking either Edit or
Add New Region.
-
Within the Select Deliverable Regions pop-up window,

Tip: We recommend
simplifying your shipping rates as much as possible. Offering free shipping can
increase sales and improve your chances of winning the buy box. You can create
multiple rules for the same shipping option to customise the settings by region.
You are now ready to assign SKUs to the shipping
template.
