Should I offer free shipping or charge for it?
"Free shipping" still has to be paid for - usually by raising the product price by the shipping cost. Buyers often prefer one all-in price, but the order total is the same either way. The calculator shows both side by side.

What people ask
Pain point
How can I offer free shipping without losing money?
PAnswer from Pludor
Enter your product price and shipping cost in Pludor's free Shipping Calculator. It shows how much to raise the price to cover "free shipping", or what to charge for shipping - and the same order both ways.
Pain point
How can I split shipping between the price and the shipping fee?
PAnswer from Pludor
Choose split and the calculator puts half the shipping cost in the price and charges half as shipping.
Problem
Why do shoppers abandon carts at the shipping step?
PAnswer from Pludor
A surprise shipping fee at checkout is a top reason for leaving. Building it into the price avoids the surprise.
Sellers offer free shipping without adding it to the price and lose the shipping cost on every order.

On for every store, including the Free plan ($0, no item limit). Every feature is on for every store. Each month a free amount of everything is included (for example 3,000 visits, 100 AI replies and 30 bookings); past that you pay only for what you use, in credits (1 credit = 1 cent). New stores get 500 free credits. Monthly plans are optional bundles of credits with bigger free amounts and a lower fee. Pludor charges a platform fee of 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order, deducted before payout. Card processing (Stripe) is charged separately by the processor. Cash sales recorded in POS carry no platform fee, and wallet-to-wallet transfers between Pludor users are free.

What is a free-shipping threshold?
Free shipping only above an order total (e.g. over $50) - it nudges people to add one more item while the extra sale pays for the shipping.
