Shipping Cost Adjustments


Overview

Sellercloud enables you to make Shipping Cost Adjustments, in case the order’s Shipping Cost should be updated.

This feature is typically used when a surcharge or a handling fee is to be applied to your original shipping quote. Alternatively, you can enter a negative value to apply a discount to the original quote. Please note such cost adjustments only affect orders and do not affect products.

Client setting Allow To Display Adjusted Shipping Cost On Orders must be enabled for this workflow. To enable the setting, navigate to Settings > Client Settings > General Client Settings > Orders.

Shipping Cost Adjustment Types

You can manually adjust an Order’s Shipping Cost per carrier or within individual FBA Inbound Shipments. These adjustments can be used to account for various Shipping Costs, including transportation costs from your warehouse to Amazon fulfillment centers.

  1. Go to Settings > Shipping > Shipping Cost Adjustments.
  2. In the Adjustment text box, enter the shipping cost adjustment value for each carrier.
    You can enter either positive or negative values.
  3. Indicate whether the adjustment is a flat value or a percentage.
  4. When finished, scroll down and click Update to apply the changes.
  5. Once updated, the new Shipping Cost will be reflected in the Profit & Loss report for each associated order.

Client setting Include FBA Inbound Shipping Costs in Order Item P&L must be enabled for this workflow. To enable the setting, navigate to Settings > Client Settings > General Client Settings > Reporting > Enable Include FBA Inbound Shipping Costs in Order Item P&L > Save.
