Shipping charges charged from customers will be passed on to you directly • Example: If the product’s price is Rs. 49 and the shipping charge is Rs. 59, you can adjust a part of the shipping charge in your product’s price. Ideally, the shipping charge should be less than the product’s price. This improves the product checkout from the cart.

Ex: 39 instead of 40; 59 instead of 60. Product price 49 Shipping price 59 Total 108 Product price 69 Shipping price 39 Total 108 Before After Total receivable amount still remains the same*
