   Today’s Shopify irritation: I send stickers with a plain old $0.73 stamp, but my art prints require more expensive shipping if I want to ensure they don’t get creased in transit.

   If someone orders a print AND stickers, there is no way to tell Shopify that I will combine them into the same package unless I pay for the $300/month plan. Surely this is a fairly basic scenario?

     @josgeluk i was perfectly happy to write some code to do this for me, but in order to set custom shipping rates you have to buy the expensive plan!

     @molly0xfff Surely someone can come up with a filter or something? It's open source software I think?

     @molly0xfff @josgeluk you might not need the custom shipping rates functionality for this. Maybe you can do a work around with a discount. I have tinkered around with custom Shopify apps a bit in the past years. If you want I can have a look and see if there’s a custom code solution without needing to upgrade your Shopify plan. Hard to say without more info. Feel free to send me a more detailed description to canolcer@hey.com

     @molly0xfff Do you mean in terms of the shipping price shown for customer at checkout? Or when you are ready to buy a shipping label?

     @molly0xfff @josgeluk so the issue is that if somebody orders both products, they get the summed shipping price?

     @molly0xfff
     I have no idea how any of this works, but couldn't you create SKUs that are "1 print and 3 stickers", in a bunch of permutations?

     @molly0xfff One thing you could do is use Shipping Profile, and put the sticker as $0 shipping. Then the art print as $10 shipping (whatever the cost is). If someone orders both, they still pay $10 and you put them together in the box.

     @jemal that would work for domestic orders but international shipping is very variable

     @molly0xfff can you just bump up the price of the prints to cover shipping? I don’t think fans would mind.
