Frequently Asked Questions

Use the real cost from your courier's invoice or rate card for that shipment — this tool doesn't estimate it for you. If you need a rough estimate first, try the Shipping Cost Calculator.

There's no universal answer — many stores mark up shipping 10-30% to cover packaging materials and handling time, but it depends on your margins and how price-sensitive your customers are to shipping fees.

No — it's simply the markup amount (charged price minus your actual shipping cost). If you want it to also cover packaging/handling, build those into the shipping cost you enter, or increase the markup percentage accordingly.

No — a markup scales with your actual shipping cost (e.g. more expensive-to-ship orders generate proportionally more markup), while a flat handling fee is the same regardless of shipping cost. This tool only calculates the percentage-markup approach.
