What is Standard Shipping Saver?

Hey Enstack Sellers! We’ve heard you—buyers want more affordable shipping, and we’re excited to make that happen. Starting March 1, 2025, we’re launching Standard Shipping Saver to help you offer lower shipping rates and attract more buyers to your store.

This update will automatically replace your current Standard Shipping fees with more affordable rates for your buyers. In line with other platforms, there will be a 4.5% fee applied to all Standard Shipping orders, charged upon withdrawal, to ensure seamless and reliable deliveries.

Below are answers to the most common questions to ensure you’re ready for the change.

1. What is Standard Shipping Saver?
Standard Shipping Saver is our new setup that gives your buyers lower shipping fees for all Standard Shipping orders, helping you attract more orders. To keep the quality of service your business deserves, a 4.5% fee will apply to all Standard Shipping transactions charged at the point of withdrawal to ensure you get the best service and seamless, reliable deliveries.

2. When does the Standard Shipping Saver take effect?
Standard Shipping Saver will take effect on March 1, 2025. From then on, your buyers will automatically enjoy lower shipping rates for all Standard Shipping deliveries.

4. How does the 4.5% fee work?
The 4.5% fee applies only to delivered Standard Shipping orders. It’s calculated based on the net item price (subtotal after applying vouchers and discounts) and deducted at the point of withdrawal. This helps ensure smooth, reliable deliveries while keeping shipping fees low for your buyers.

You can expect the existing shipping rates to be lower once Standard Shipping Saver is implemented.

10. Can Standard Shipping Saver be applied to specific orders only, instead of all orders?
Standard Shipping Saver applies to all orders shipped via Standard Shipping. However, orders shipped via Same-Day Shipping or Own Shipping will not be affected by the 4.5% fee.
