How to Set up Shipping Options in Website Builder

Other than setting up Payment Options for your Online Store so customers can place their orders, you also need to ensure that your customers know how they're getting what they paid for. There are a variety of Shipping Options in Website Builder that you can easily set up for your Store.

Important: The Store option is only available for the eCommerce Website Builder plan and will not appear on all other Website Builder plans. If you want to easily set up an Online Store with complete SSL protection and easy setup and monitoring of Products and Orders, you will need to upgrade your current Website Builder plan or purchase a new eCommerce Website Builder plan.

To add a Shipping Option to your Store in Website Builder, follow the instructions below:

1. Click Sign Up / Log In at the top of this page.
2. Select Account Manager from the drop-down menu.
3. Enter your username and password then, click Log In.
4. Click the Visit My Account button.
5. Click Website Builder from the menu at the top of the page.

8. On the Sites page of your Website Builder Dashboard, hover your mouse pointer over the project/website that you would like to customise and click EDIT.
