OlaGarp Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I'm trying to set up a site to sell photographic prints. I want to be able to calculate shipping and insurance cost in the checkout process utilising Australian carriers like Australia Post, FastWay, TNT or CouriersPlease. Reading the extension information, it appeared that Easyship was a perfect match. However, the Shipping at Checkout feature is not availble for SquareSpace. The shipping cost will be driven by item size and weight, and the customer delivery address. Can anyone please suggest how I can acheive this. Cheers Ola Link to comment
Solution paul2009 Posted June 17, 2021 Solution Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Squarespace cannot calculate shipping costs for customers, at least not outside the US. You'll need to manually estimate your shipping costs and enter these details (based on size, weight and country) or require customers to contact you for a shipping quote before they purchase. If you need this feature, I recommend Shopify. This is a much more advanced ecommerce platform with many more ecommerce focussed features than Squarespace, although it's fair to say that it has a higher learning curve, isn't as design-friendly and can be a little more expensive. However, it does have carrier-calculated shipping on the checkout page! For example, real-time Australia Post and StarTrack shipping rates for domestic & international shipments.

OlaGarp Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Thanks for the quick reply. The alternative is not a viable solution. It sounds like I need to find another platform than Squarespace. Link to comment
