Brief Introduction #
Many countries follow their own shipping regulations, which can affect delivery costs across regions. To accommodate these variations, MultiVendorX offers a country-based shipping option that allows store owners to define different shipping rates for different countries. This ensures accurate pricing, regulatory compliance, and a smoother shipping experience for both store owners and customers.

The admin can manage and configure shipping settings for individual stores directly from the MultiVendorX dashboard.
To begin, navigate to MultiVendorX → Stores and select the store for which shipping needs to be configured. Click on the Settings option for the selected store to access store-specific configurations.

- Per Product Additional Price ($) –Â
- Specifies the additional shipping charge applied for each different product added to the cart, in addition to the default shipping price.

- Per Quantity Additional Price ($) –Â
- Specifies the additional shipping charge applied for each additional quantity of the same product, added to the default shipping price.
