FIGURE 7.24 Buyers Select Their Preferred Shipping Methods
PayPal lets buyers select their preferred shipping methods after they enter their billing
information or log in to PayPal. If buyers change their shipping addresses or select a different
shipping method, PayPal calculates the shipping charges again and displays the new amount.
Shipping Regions
Your organize your shipping rates primarily by the states and countries to which you ship your
products. Some merchants make only domestic shipments. Other merchants make both
domestic shipments and international shipments. Depending on territorial size, some
merchants divide their domestic markets into smaller shipping regions, each with their own
shipping rates.
Before you begin setting up the shipping rates that PayPal uses to calculate shipping charges,
decide whether:
z You ship only domestically or both domestically and internationally
z You want one set of rates for all U.S. domestic shipments or you want rates for different
domestic regions, such as western and eastern states.
z You want one set of rates for all international shipments or you want rates for different
international regions, such as Europe and Asia
You can establish one set of shipping rates for all domestic and international destinations, but
your shipping rates should reflect your costs of shipping, which generally vary between
different domestic and international regions.
