What Does Shipping per Product Mean?

Showing Shipping on Product Pages means displaying shipping costs directly on product pages. Customers do not have to navigate all the way to the checkout to see shipping cost. Displaying shipping rates on the product pages lowers the cart abandonment rate and thus increases the sales.

There is no Magento 2 shipping calculator on product pages. You can search for a third-party Magento 2 shipping per product feature in Magento Marketplace.
Or have a look at the Magento 2 shipping calculator on the product page feature by Calcurates. Keep reading to find out more about the Magento 2 shipping per product.

Magento: Show Shipping Cost on Product Page for Your E-commerce

Shipping on Product Pages is suitable for any Magento 2 e-commerce.
One of the reasons to use some Magento Shipping per Product plugin is if the retailer experienced lower sales in the past. In this case, Shipping on Product Pages might help to increase conversions and sales.

How to Show Shipping Cost on Product Pages On Magento :

  • Select Shipping Options
    Select specific Shipping Options on product pages. You may sort them according to some basic criteria, from lowest to highest, or fastest to slowest.
  • Set the Default Shipping Address
    It might happen that the unregistered user will browse through your product pages. In this case, you can simply set a default shipping location for shipping estimates until the user indicates the delivery address.
  • Customize Shipping on Product Pages 
    Customize your message to your customers. Inform the user about the delivery dates and times, the delivery cost, or anything you find useful.

Why Is It Important To Display Shipping Cost On Product Pages?

The Shipping per Product shows all the shipping methods and their corresponding rates right next to the products. The customer is not forced to wait until the checkout to see shipping costs. The Shipping per Product feature provides customers with all the necessary information and keeps them on your website. Thus, it prevents a high bounce rate.

  • Higher Conversion Rate
