You can use a dropdown selector to allow your customers to choose from your various shipping options. This article will show instructions on how to add the shipping profile rules to your campaign and how to add the dropdown selector to the checkout page.
Please note that the Shipping Profiles are dynamic. This means that only relevant Shipping Profile will display, depending on the rules within the profile. Examples:
If you have specific shipping rules for both US and Canada customers, the US customers will only see the shipping profiles with US rules and Canadian customers will only see the shipping profiles with CA rules.
If you have a profile with only a Free Shipping over $X, the profile will only display if the cart subtotal reaches your $X value.
On the CRM side of your account, navigate to your campaign setup screen and edit the campaign where you want to add a shipping profile to. This should be the campaign that is tied to your funnel.
Scroll down to the bottom of the campaign sections to the Shipping Profiles area:
Click the “+” Button to create a new shipping profile for the campaign and fill out the configuration window.
Profile Name: Name of shipping profile Ship RefCode: Reference code specific for you fulfillment provider (optional) Ship Carrier: Choose from - USPS, UPS, FedEx, Canada Post, and DHL (optional) Ship Method: These options will change based on the Ship Carrier chosen (optional) Freight TaxCode: Used for Avalara and TaxJar plugins
After you create the Shipping Profile, click the edit button on the profile to begin configuring the rules shipping profile.
The example above will only charge $5 total for shipping for the entire order, unless the base price of the order (excluding taxes and shipping) exceeds $75. In which case, shipping will be free to the customer.
On the left side inside the Shipping Profile you will see a few options:
If you choose one of these options click on "Update" to save the setting before applying Profile Pricing rules. | To the right you will see Profile Pricing. Here you will have the option to set shipping prices based off region and what product it applies to. Note: If you choose “Entire Order” after you already created product rules it will not save after you update. You will need to remove the product rules in order to create rules for the entire order. |

Once inside the page editor, open the Building Blocks and then follow the appropriate instructions to use a Select element or Radio Buttons or Checkbox.

Once you have shipping profiles setup for one campaign. You may want to use them again in another. It is easy to copy all of the shipping profiles from a campaign using the duplicate button in the campaign setup.
Should you prefer to not display the shipping prices during shipping profile selection, you may choose to disable shipping price display. Go to the Maintenance section of the Funnel Settings menu and check the box to “Disable shipping price display”.
This setting will still show the Shipping Profile names to the user. However, users would no longer see the displayed shipping prices. The shipping prices would still be visible in the Order Summary/Cart.
