Each method is designed to suit different business types, order values, and shipping strategies. Whether you want to offer free shipping to boost sales or use table rates to handle complex pricing, Magento shipping gives you the flexibility to tailor the experience to your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we\u2019ll explore the four main shipping methods that come with Magento 2 and explain how each one works.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86930\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86930\" style=\"width: 1536px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86930\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/four-methods-of-magento-shipping.webp\" alt=\"4 methods of Magento shipping\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/four-methods-of-magento-shipping.webp 1536w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/four-methods-of-magento-shipping-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/four-methods-of-magento-shipping-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/four-methods-of-magento-shipping-768x576.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86930\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Four methods of Magento shipping<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>1. Free shipping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Free shipping is a popular method used to attract customers and increase conversion rates. It allows you to offer delivery at no cost under specific conditions, such as reaching a minimum order amount or applying a discount code.<\/p>\n<p>Free shipping works well during promotions or as a reward for high-value purchases. It\u2019s also effective when combined with marketing strategies like bundled deals or first-time customer incentives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Flat rate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Flat rate shipping allows you to charge a fixed shipping cost, regardless of the order's size, weight, or destination. This method is simple to manage and easy for customers to understand.<\/p>\n<p>Flat rate is ideal for stores with consistent product sizes or for businesses that want to keep shipping costs predictable. However, it might not work well if your product range varies widely in weight or dimension.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Table rates<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86932\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86932\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86932\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-table-rates-example.webp\" alt=\"An example of displaying table rate on Magento\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-table-rates-example.webp 700w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/magento-table-rates-example-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86932\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example of displaying the table rate on Magento<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Table rate shipping lets you charge based on complex conditions, such as destination, cart weight, order subtotal, or item count.

You can also use it to set tiered rates that reward larger purchases with cheaper shipping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.

This method reduces shipping costs and offers convenience to local buyers who prefer same-day collection or want to avoid delivery delays.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How to Configure Magento Shipping<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve chosen the right shipping methods for your store, the next step is setting them up correctly in your Magento 2 backend. Fortunately, this platform gives you full control over your Magento shipping configuration, no matter what shipping options you choose.<\/p>\n<p>In the sections below, we'll guide you through how to configure each built-in shipping method step by step.<\/p>\n<h3>Free shipping<\/h3>\n<p>Free shipping is one of the most effective ways to encourage customers to complete their purchases. In Magento 2, you can enable free shipping as a standalone method or use it in combination with cart price rules to reward qualifying orders.<\/p>\n<p>To configure the free Magento shipping method, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<h4>Step 1. Configure free shipping<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to your Admin dashboard and navigate to Stores &gt; Settings &gt; Configuration.<\/li>\n<li>Then, in the left panel, choose Delivery Methods under Sales and expand the Free Shipping section.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86942\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86942\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86942\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/configure-magento-free-shipping.webp\" alt=\"Configure Magento free shipping\" width=\"600\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/configure-magento-free-shipping.webp 600w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/configure-magento-free-shipping-300x243.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86942\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Configure Magento free shipping<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li>Set the Enabled value to Yes, and type in the Title and Method Name to describe the Free Shipping method during checkout.<\/li>\n<li>For Minimum Order Amount, enter the minimum total value that qualifies for free shipping.<\/li>\n<li>In the Include Tax to Amount setting, choose either:\n<ul>\n<li>Yes, if you want to include tax when calculating the Minimum Order amount (Subtotal + Tax &#8211; Discount).<\/li>\n<li>No, if you want to exclude tax when calculating the Minimum Order amount (Subtotal &#8211; Discount).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>For Displayed Error Message, enter the message to appear if free shipping becomes unavailable.<\/li>\n<li>In the Shipping Applicable Countries, choose either:\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;All Allowed Countries&#8221; to allow customers from all countries specified in your store configuration to use free shipping.<\/li>\n<li>Specific Countries to select where you want to apply this Magento shipping option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Move on to the Show Method if Not Applicable setting, choose:\n<ul>\n<li>Yes, if you want to show the Free Shipping option automatically, even when it is not applicable.<\/li>\n<li>No, if you want to show this option only when applicable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>For Sort Order, enter the number that determines the position of free shipping in the list of delivery methods during checkout.<\/li>\n<li>When everything is fully set, click Save Config to apply.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Step 2. Enable free shipping in the carrier configuration<\/h4>\n<p>Before continuing with this step, make sure to complete any required configuration for each carrier you want to use for free shipping. Then, update the following settings to enable this method.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the Delivery Methods setting, expand the UPS section to configure free shipping for this carrier, then set the Free Method option.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to require a minimum order for free shipping, set Enable Free Shipping Threshold to Enable and enter the required amount.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, select Save Config to finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Flat rates<\/h3>\n<p>Flat rate shipping is a straightforward method that allows you to charge a fixed delivery fee, either per order or per item, regardless of the customer\u2019s location or the weight of the package. It\u2019s a great choice if your shipping costs are predictable or if you want to offer a simple checkout experience.<\/p>\n<p>To configure flat rate for your Magento shipping option, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the Admin sidebar, go to Stores &gt; Settings &gt; Configuration.<\/li>\n<li>Under Sales, click on Delivery Methods, then expand the Flat Rate section.<\/li>\n<li>Set Enabled to Yes to activate the method.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86946\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86946\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86946\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/configure-magento-flat-rate-shipping-method.webp\" alt=\"Configure Magento flat rate shipping method\" width=\"600\" height=\"691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/configure-magento-flat-rate-shipping-method.webp 600w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/configure-magento-flat-rate-shipping-method-260x300.webp 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86946\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Configure the Magento flat rate shipping method<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li>Enter a Title and a Method Name that will appear on the frontend.

This message will appear when the flat rate option is unavailable.<\/li>\n<li>Set Ship to Applicable Countries:\n<ul>\n<li>Choose All Allowed Countries to offer flat rate shipping globally.<\/li>\n<li>Or select Specific Countries and choose the countries from the list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Decide whether to Show Method if Not Applicable:\n<ul>\n<li>Yes: Always displays the option at checkout.<\/li>\n<li>No: Only shows it when the order qualifies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>In the Sort Order field, enter a number to define the method\u2019s display position during checkout.<\/li>\n<li>Click Save Config to apply the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Table rates<\/h3>\n<p>The table rate method allows you to calculate Magento shipping costs based on a combination of factors such as destination, cart weight, item count, or price. It\u2019s a flexible and scalable option that helps you offer more accurate rates, especially if your warehouse serves customers across multiple regions.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if your store is based in Los Angeles, you can charge lower shipping fees for customers in California and higher rates for those in Vermont. This setup not only saves money for nearby customers but also gives you full control over how shipping prices are applied.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 1. Enable and configure table rates<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>In the Admin panel, go to Stores &gt; Settings &gt; Configuration.<\/li>\n<li>Under Sales, choose Delivery Methods and expand the Table Rates section. Then, set Enabled to Yes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_86977\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-86977\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-86977\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/configure-magento-table-rate-shipping.webp\" alt=\"Configure Magento table rates shipping\" width=\"600\" height=\"652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/configure-magento-table-rate-shipping.webp 600w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/configure-magento-table-rate-shipping-276x300.webp 276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-86977\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Configure the Magento table rates shipping method<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li>Enter a custom Title and Method Name that will appear during checkout.

These carrier options allow your store to provide real-time shipping rates, tracking numbers, and automated label printing, making the fulfillment process smoother and more professional.<\/p>\n<p>In the sections below, we\u2019ll walk you through how to configure each Magento shipping carrier so you can offer more flexible and accurate delivery options to your customers.<\/p>\n<h3>#1. UPS<\/h3>\n<p>UPS (United Parcel Service) provides domestic and international shipping to over 220 countries, making it a reliable choice for many Magento merchants. To enable UPS shipping in Magento 2, you need to create a UPS account, configure API credentials, and properly set up the integration within your store settings, following these steps:<\/p>\n<h4>Step 1. Open a UPS shipping account<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a UPS account to get a Shipper Number.<\/li>\n<li>You can sign up for free via the official UPS registration page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Step 2.
