How to set delivery rate by weight

Calculate delivery rates based on the total weight of the customer’s cart.

If your shipping costs vary depending on the weight of the order, Pickeasy allows you to configure weight-based delivery rates. This helps you charge customers accurately based on the total weight of their cart during checkout.

1. Open the Pickeasy app from your Shopify admin and navigate to the Rates section.

2. In the General section, choose the weight format used in your store (for example: kg, g, lb). Make sure the selected format matches the weight settings configured in Shopify.

3. In the Local Delivery Rates section, click Add zone.

💡

Note: If you want to configure weight-based rates for an existing zone, open the zone and edit Rates by Weight.

4. Enter a name to easily identify the delivery zone.

Examples: Local Delivery Area, City Delivery Zone, Regional Delivery Zone

5. Enable Mark this zone as fallback if you want this zone to apply when no other delivery zones match the customer’s location.

6. Choose how you want to define the delivery area.

Zip Code allows you to define the zone using specific postal codes.

Distance allows you to define the zone based on the distance from your store.

7. Enter the delivery area details based on the selected zone type.

If Zip Code is selected, enter the zip codes to include in the zone and optionally add zip codes to exclude.

If Distance is selected, enter the minimum delivery distance and maximum delivery distance.

8. Click Add Rate by Weight.

9. Provide a delivery rate name that will appear on the checkout page.

Examples: Standard Delivery, Heavy Order Delivery, Express Delivery

10. Enter a description if needed. This description will also appear on the checkout page.

11. Enter the delivery fee for the selected weight range. Set the delivery rate to 0 if you want to offer free delivery.

12. Enter the minimum order weight and maximum order weight, then click Add to save the range.

Example:

Order Weight	Delivery Fee
0-2 kg	$5
2.01-5 kg	$8
5 kg+	$12

13. Click Save to apply the delivery zone and the configured weight-based delivery rates.

Repeat the process to create multiple delivery rates for different weight ranges. This allows you to charge different delivery fees depending on the total weight of the customer’s cart. If you need further assistance, please contact our customer support team.
