We've updated these help files to show you exactly how:
  1. How to setup domestic shipping rates.
  2. How to setup international shipping rates.
  3. How do shipping rates work with dropshipping?


Updates to how fulfillment fees work

Going forward, Apliiq will charge $1 per item fulfillment fee for dropshipping orders.  The previous fee was $1 per order.  This change is to more accurately reflect the costs in material and labor to ship multi item orders.  There is no change to pricing for bulk and sample orders.

Notes
Please note: 80%+ of dropshipping orders are single item orders and will not be impacted by this change.

Apliiq understands that it's important for our brand partners to achieve their desired margins for their products, so Apliiq has also updated the Apliiq website to highlight the fulfillment fee when setting the price for your products.

Idea
Now that the fulfillment fee is $1 per product, it may be best to associate the cost with the cost of your products, instead of as an additional $1 on your shipping rates.
