# How to add rates on CHECKOUT PAGE?

{% hint style="warning" %}
DingDoong's scope: 

Currently, we are not supporting defining delivery's rate in-app. However, users can use Shopify rates instead.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Shopify rates are ideal for merchants who want:

**Flat shipping rate:** 

* A fixed shipping cost charged per order regardless of weight or price
* For example,  $5 standard, $15 expedited

**Price-based shipping rates&#x20;**<mark style="color:yellow;">**(Popular)**</mark>

* Shipping fees vary depending on the total order value. Merchants set minimum and maximum cart price thresholds for different flat rates.
* Example: $4 shipping for orders under $50, free shipping for orders over $100.

**Weight-based shipping rates:**

* Shipping fees depend on the total weight of the order. Merchants define weight ranges with corresponding flat rates.
* Example: $7 for orders under 5 kg, $15 for orders over 5 kg.

**Free shipping rate:**

* Any flat rate can be set to $0 to offer free shipping.
* Can be site-wide or conditional (e.g., free shipping on orders over $100).

**Calculated shipping rates  (Carrier-Calculated):**

* Real-time shipping costs provided by carriers like USPS, UPS, DHL, or Canada Post.
* Rates are dynamically calculated based on order details such as weight, dimensions, destination, and delivery speed.

* **Price-based rates:** shipping fees that depend on the order value.
* **Free shipping:** set a rate of $0 or create conditions for free shipping (e.g., free shipping on orders over $50).
* You can add conditions to rates to **specify minimum and maximum order price or weight ranges.**

## Setting up Shipping rates for specific products

{% hint style="success" %}
The key steps are the same, the difference are products which rates apply to&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Step 1. Create a custom zone

<figure><img src="/files/T9uCaeROAiPO8EjbEinN" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Step 2. Add products > Add Shipping zones > Add rates

<figure><img src="/files/wIbI6oWEZB1foLwus1Ts" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Setting up Local delivery rates

### Step 1. Go to Settings > Shipping and delivery > set up Local delivery&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/SUZU8vnADuJN1Cfgf5w9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Step 2.  Turn on Local delivery > Choose type of Delivery you want

{% hint style="success" %}
For Shopify's beginners,  delivery zones are specified by two ways:

* Postal codes
* Maximum delivery radius&#x20;
  {% endhint %}

#### Choose postal codes

Fill in the postal codes (where you deliver to) and set up rates for these areas

<figure><img src="/files/pnXNw2P7cgUPU0ZRtLfK" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can add **conditional pricing rules** that set different delivery charges based on order value thresholds (e.g., $5 delivery for orders over $5, $3 delivery for orders over $10, free delivery over $20)

#### Choose maximum radius

Fill in the maximum radius number you want to deliver and set up the same&#x20;
