Print Shipping Labels for Shopify Flat Rate Shipping

In Shopify, you can set up free, flat, or calculated shipping rates based on your business requirement. If you’re shipping items that require accurate rates, Shopify Carrier Calculated Rates is the way to go.

If, on the other hand, you send a defined category of items and do not need to measure your shipments, you can ship them straight using flat or free shipping rates. But the major challenge is to ship these orders. In this guide, we have discussed how you can print shipping labels for Shopify flat and free rate shipping and fulfill your orders in the Shopify store.
