Shipping Guide

Set up shipping that's clear for buyers and easy for you. Here's how processing times, zones, rates and free shipping work on HANDI.

Set up in 4 steps

STEP 1

Set your processing time

Tell buyers how long you need to prepare an order before it ships. Accurate, honest times build trust and reduce cancellations.

STEP 2

Define delivery zones & rates

Create zones (e.g. Lagos Mainland, Mainland → Island, Nationwide) and set a fee and delivery window for each. Buyers see the right rate for their address at checkout.

STEP 3

Consider free shipping

Offer free shipping above a minimum order value to lift average order size. You set the threshold; it only applies when the cart qualifies.

STEP 4

Choose delivery methods

Enable Standard and/or Express delivery. Buyers pick the speed they want and pay the matching rate.

Tips for smooth delivery

Set an accurate processing time — it's the #1 driver of buyer trust.

Offer free shipping for higher-value orders to lift your average order size.

Use clear, consistent rates per zone to avoid checkout surprises.

Keep delivery windows realistic; under-promise and over-deliver.

Provide tracking so buyers always know where their order is.
