Shipping Methods

StoreHippo allows you to define shipping charges for the orders placed in your store. You can set shipping charges on different conditions like order total, order weights, different countries and products, etc. 

You can manage Shipping Methods in Settings > Shipping Methods section of StoreHippo Admin Panel.
