Shopify shipping setup for UK sellers (2026)
A correct shipping setup wins more conversions than another ad spend. Here is how to do it.
Connect Royal Mail and Evri
Shopify Shipping in the UK supports Royal Mail, Evri and DPD Local. Connect each in Settings → Shipping → Carriers.
Live calculated vs flat rate
Live rates increase conversion 5–12% for over-3 kg orders. Flat rate is simpler and works better for small items.
Free shipping thresholds
£50 free shipping converts about 25% better than no offer. Make sure your unit economics support it.
FAQ
Does Shopify charge for shipping labels?
No — you pay the Royal Mail/Evri rate direct, with Shopify aggregator discount baked in.
Can I use my own courier?
Yes, with the Easyship, Sendcloud or Shippo apps.
