Operation skills

Add freight template

There are two ways to set up freight templates:

• The first method is to go through the “Product Management” in the background, select “Freight Template” in “Template Management”, click “Add Freight Template” and enter the name of the freight template;
• The second method is to set the freight template in the “Logistics Settings” column during the product upload process. It is recommended to use the first method, because setting the freight template during the product upload process may cause the page to freeze and cause inconvenience.

Edit CPA shipping rate template

Setting up a freight template usually requires setting up three methods: CPA, EMS, and DHL. These methods cover small parcels and express delivery, giving buyers more choices. When filling in the standard freight reduction, it is recommended that the reduction rate be set to 20%, that is, a 20% discount. Next, take editing the CPA shipping rate template as an example:

Assume that the packaged weight of a product is 1.5kg. When using China Post Registered Air Mail as the logistics method, zones 1-5 will have free shipping, zones 6-9 will calculate the standard shipping fee and provide the correct shipping discount, and 10 District will not ship. To do this, you need to add a freight template, fill in “CPA 1500g” or a similar logo in the freight template name, then select the corresponding logistics method and customize the freight settings.

Set a custom freight template for China Post’s small parcels

After selecting China Post Registered Air Mail, start customizing shipping settings:

• For areas 1-5, after selecting these areas, select “Seller bears the freight” for the freight type;
• The settings for zones 6-9 are more complicated and require standard shipping and correct discounts. Taking area 6 as an example, add a freight combination, select area 6, and set the shipping type to standard freight. When calculating the freight reduction rate, according to the previous steps, if this product is 1500g and has free shipping to the first five districts, the postage should be 143.75 yuan; the postage for the sixth district should be 165.5 yuan; the standard freight reduction for the six districts = (postage for the first five districts / six districts Postage) × 100% = 87%. By analogy, it can be concluded that the reduction rate in District 7 is 83%, that in District 8 is 76%, that in District 9 is 63%, and that in District 10 there is no delivery.
