Gelato+ Gold: What are Shipping Profit Margins?

Learn how to boost your earnings by adding a profit margin to your shipping prices for your Shopify and Etsy stores

Updated over 2 months ago

This article explains how to increase your earnings by adding a profit margin to your shipping prices. This feature seamlessly integrates with your Shopify and Etsy stores that are connected to Gelato.


Understanding Shipping Profit Margins

By incorporating a profit margin for shipping costs, you can increase the amount customers pay for shipping on each order placed through your Gelato store. This pricing strategy applies to both flat-rate and live-rate shipping methods.

For instance, if you set a shipping profit margin of 20% and the shipping cost (the amount Gelato charges you) for an order is €10, your customer will be charged €12 for shipping. This means you'll make a profit of €2 (20%).
