Shopify Shipping Rates: How I Saved Thousands by Getting This Right Early

Articles

Quick answer: Shopify shipping rates are calculated based on your store’s location, product weight, package dimensions, and the shipping method you choose—whether that’s Shopify Shipping (with carrier rates like USPS, UPS), flat rates, or third-party integrations.

If you mess this up, it’ll kill your margins and spike cart abandonment.

After 15+ years running ecommerce stores, I can say this with confidence: If you don’t control your shipping rates, they’ll control your business.

After testing both platforms hands-on across real store setups, the quick answer is this:

BigCommerce is better for established businesses that need built-in features and multichannel scalability.

Ecwid is better for beginners who want to start fast, add ecommerce to an existing site, or keep things simple.

If you’re running a nonprofit and thinking about using Shopify, you might feel like it’s not made for you.

That’s what I thought too. I’ve worked with nonprofits who were stuck using donation platforms that looked like they were built in 2006. I’ve also seen teams burn thousands trying to custom-code donation tools on WordPress that never worked properly.

Then we tried Shopify. And it changed everything.

Not just for fundraising. But for SEO. For visibility. For turning visitors into donors and supporters.

So here’s a real breakdown of how nonprofits can use Shopify — and make sure they rank while they do it.

Rebekah Carter

I'll be honest, when someone first suggested I look into Snapchat for marketing, I wasn’t sold. There are so many great social media platforms that are perfect for ecommerce sellers, from Instagram and Facebook to TikTok – all with their own sales capabilities. Snapchat seems a little underwhelming.

But, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about ecommerce marketing, is that success doesn’t come from staying where you feel comfortable – it comes from following your audience to wherever they are.

Turns out, quite a lot of people are on Snapchat – actually looking for things they want to buy. Around 432 million people use the app every day – including 75% of 13-34 year olds in 25 countries. That’s a combined spending power of about $5 trillion.

So, I dove into the ecosystem, poked around in the Ads Manager, and set up a few campaigns, to find out if Snapchat Business is really worthwhile for ecommerce.
