very good video! it's sad that their system is so archaic... shipping cost are not the same across Canada... if you live on the east coast shipping will be different if you ship to the east as opposed to the west.. they should have an option to set different rates for every province and state.
This is possible in 2 ways: 1. Live calculated shipping, available on the Square Online Premium plan. 2. Creating different shipping rates for different provinces. You could create a different shipping rate for each province, or group them. You would simply create multiple shipping rates, then select the country Canada, then you can select which provinces the shipping rate applies to.

How do I do separate rates for certain items, like I want to do free uk shipping but I can't do afford to do that for australia, so how would I have an item with two rates?
@ClaireFrances You would separate this at the Shipping Profile level. What you would do is create 2 (or more) shipping profiles. Profile 1: UK (apply to all items) P1 Rate: Free shipping Profile 2: Australia (apply to all items) P1 Rate: Flat rate, weight based, live calculated, anything you want. The only limitation is that when we apply a rate to only certain items, those certain items only fall into that one rate, so we can't have an item that falls into multiple custom rates, but we can have as many geographical separations as we want as long as each shipping profile applies to all items. Does this make sense?
If I am using the free version of the website, would i be able to use priority mail flat rate shipping if i must purchase the shipping label through square?
@thenaturalgemini As far as I know that should be no problem. You can always create a test order and see what shipping label options you have, then issue a refund.
Hi, thanks a lot for the video. Do you know how to set up a minimum order quantity? Say we sell wine but we ship in multiples of 3 only. How can I program this on square?
The shipping rates are automatically associated with your site, but I think what you're needing to do is a few things: 1. Make sure the items you want have Shipping set as a fulfillment option. 2. Make sure shipping is enabled for the location you're shipping from (ignore this if you only have 1 location). Feel free to email learn@appaloosa.tech with more specific questions!
Thank you for sharing this! I have been looking at the same screen for days and just very overwhelmed and very confusing so thank you for the info!
You're very welcome!
