There's no functionality for this. Which is MADNESS. Squarespace is the worst platform for small businesses. I am migrating to Shopify asap..

I have been running my E-commerce store on Squarespace for about 2 years now and I must say I love how user friendly it is when it comes to designing the site and navigating from different editing tools. 
That said, I am honestly facing some serious limitation from SQSP not offering product-specific shipping option. I run an online business that deals with live plant, and in my country it is not as easy as it seems to ship plants internationally, however we do retail planters and merchandises that are allowed to ship internationally. Due to the limitation of not being able to restrict certain products from shipping internationally, I either allow customers to purchase and have risk of them picking the international delivery option then refund their order later or giving up the idea of shipping our planters/merch internationally to avoid this problem as a whole. Both options are a huge limitation to my business and this would have been completely solved if SQSP consider building the function to make shipping options for individual products available for a commerce site. 
I do hope someone at Squarespace can review this limitation and create a function that allow Product-Specfic shipping option. I am a huge supporter and fan of Squarespace, it would be really unfortunate that I have to explore other e-commerce option due to this limitation.
 

By simply adding these features, Squarespace can improve their seller retention rate and I won't have to look elsewhere to host my shop!
Bulk Editing mode for products.  Item-specific shipping option. Improve UI for Mobile-friendly product gallery. Fix buggy color palette generator in Designs and in Styles I want to provide the best shopping experience and accurate shipping costs to my customers but sadly, Squarespace falls far behind it's competitors. It's 2022, make some magic happen will you?

It would seem simple enough (granted, I am no "coder") but why not offer the option, when creating the inventory item, to CHOOSE a method/tier of shipping.
I sell products that range from "will fit in an envelope" to "Third party drop shipper charges varying rates based on value/weight".
I can't charge the same to ship a 1oz item as I do for the drop-shipping vendor to send a 3lb clothing item. It is a FAST turn-off to potential customers.
If I sell clothing from a third-party drop-ship vendor like Printful who charges $3.99 + $1.50 per item on most of their stuff and use their base shipping rate in the SquareSpace shipping tool and the a guitar pick I send from my shop (less than 1 oz), because I can't specify shipping options at the "item setup", a customer would buy a pick and end up spending $5.49 BUT if that same customer also ordered a Sherpa jacket they would only pay the "add item" charge from Printful but I would pay what I shipped my the guitar pick for though local post ($3.95) plus the Printful shipping of 9.99 + 4.00 (shipping charge for coat).
Doing the math, I will spend $17.94 shipping both items but the customer will only pay $3.95 for the base shipping cost plus $3.00 in "per item" fees, totaling $6.95 meaning I eat a loss of $9.99. That ends up costing me my entire profit margin .
Please create the option for "per-item" pricing!!!!
 

@sydacthis works in practice, but breaks down pretty quickly once you have variety in where your products are shipped from/to. Squarespace could even work to improve this "hack" by not having the range be required to be zero to infinity. One of the main issues, is in not being able to hide cheaper shipping options. It turns into a maths mind mess with plenty of scope for errors. And just imagine the headache when there are changes to your shipping and distribution points.
Personally, I'm going to see how this goes, if sales are good, I'll seriously consider migrating to shopify

***A great way to do item specific shipping weights is to take advantage of the 'shipping rates based on weight' feature. Assign smaller items a lower weight that is attached to the lower shipping fee. Assign larger items a higher weight which will have the higher shipping rates. Hope that helps! But I agree, it would be great if squarespace could get it together.

there's really nothing "advanced" in SQSP's "advanced shipping". you can't even set a shipping rate per product. Shopify and Ecwid are a much better option for advanced shipping.

I recently moved to SQSP from big cartel and I'm shocked that this simple feature isn't available. Really? the most basic of shipping options is to set a flat rate per item. HOW is this not possible in a self proclaimed e-commerce platform? Is this their way of trying to force people to sign up for the top tier plan to get "advanced shipping"?

Face it, Squarespace for some odd reason doesn't really care about the ecommerce side....so many limitations and workarounds you have to do.  Perhaps they don't have the capability to invest....losing market share to shopify??  After 5 years, I'm almost ready to do the switch.  Postage is a huge problem, more than ever, and no flexibility available on the build.

Just wanted to drop a message here that after years of users requesting it, per-product shipping is still not available. 
The shipping options on Squarespace are entirely bias towards US customers and are a nightmare for anyone outside of the US. 
Why is Squarespace so against per-product shipping!?
