Dropshipping - Setting shipping rates - Etsy

When you first export a product to your Etsy store, it automatically creates a delivery profile in your Etsy shop based on the weight of the product.

In most cases, you don't need to make any changes to these settings, other than the prices you may wish to charge your customers.

For each product you add within the same weight band, they will be added to the same delivery profile. If you add a product with a different weight band, a separate delivery profile will be created for that band. 

Shipping method keywords

The name of each delivery profile created contains a keyword. When your customer places an order, the keyword is transferred with their order so we know which method to use and how much to charge you. 

It's important that you do not remove the keywords, otherwise, your customer's orders will not work.

The keywords are as follows:

Domestic/UK shipping:

• UK Royal Mail 24 (Standard) Keyword: 24
• UK Royal Mail 48 (Standard) Keyword: 48
• UK Royal Mail 24 Tracked Keyword: 24 tracked or tracked 24
• UK Royal Mail 48 Tracked Keyword: 48 tracked or tracked 48
• UK Courier Keyword: courier

Rest of the world shipping:

• Europe Royal Mail standard Keyword: Europe
• Europe Royal Mail Tracked Keyword: tracked
• Rest of World Royal Mail standard Keyword: Rest of world
• Rest of World Royal Mail tracked Keyword: Rest of world tracked

Editing or creating new delivery profiles

You can edit or create as many delivery profiles as you like, though products can only be assigned to one at a time. If you create your own delivery profiles please make sure the title of each matches the keyword list above - otherwise, you may be charged the wrong amount or your orders will not work at all. For more about editing delivery profiles please consult Etsy's help files.
