Hey guys,
Another newb vendor question. Is there a way on SR to offer combined shipping? So if for example, someone wanted to buy 2 items from me they would only have to pay for the one initial shipping cost? What I have done initially was made two shipping options, Priority $5 and Combined $0. But I just got an order today and I think what happened was that the buyer just selected the combined and didn't pay for shipping. I will still ship this item and eat the shipping cost on my end this time. But is there any way to offer this kind of thing without this happening in the future?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

That's being a very kind vendor, even a bit too kind as it should be the buyer's responsibility to select the correct shipping method for each item. They are supposed to choose priority option on one order and additional on the rest. Don't accept the order if its incorrect and let them clearly know what to do on your vendor page - nope, there are no such options...

You're doing it right, but you need to make everything clear on your vendor page/item listings when it comes to combined shipping. Put it in your descriptions that you will cancel immediately if they do not choose at least one payable shipping option with their order(s).

:) Thank you!!!! That is exactly the info that I needed. At least now I know. It would be nice if some how SR could program so that combined only came up for multiple items somehow. Oh well.
Thanks again!!!

Yeah, there are a few things SR staff could improve on, but it isn't asking too much to go the extra mile for what we're doing.
Honestly, they could probably totally revamp the site this second to be more user-friendly, but they don't to keep us on our toes. It's another reason why one should always have a long, difficult password with a mnemonic pairing or something. Get the brain working overtime to avoid any screw-ups lol
