Shipping
You can control where your physical items can be shipped and how shipping is calculated in the cart. Shipping locations and prices are displayed on the product screen.
Set Shipping Destinations - Sell Worldwide
You can choose a single worldwide shipping fee by ticking the “Enable worldwide shipping”. Only enabling worldwide shipping (without adding any additional destinations) will allow anyone to purchase the product and the same shipping fee will be added regardless of where the customer is located.
Add specific countries or regions as additional destinations to override the worldwide price with a more specific shipping fee. Any destination that isn't covered by a specific country or region you have added will default to the worldwide shipping price.
Set Shipping Destinations - Sell to Specific Locations Only
If you only want to ship to specific destinations then only add those destinations and make sure you've unchecked "Enable worldwide shipping". If someone tries to purchase from a location not covered by your specified destinations they won't be able to checkout.
Shipping Prices
When adding physical products you can set the shipping cost. Set a price for when the item is bought on its own and when its bought as a basket of multiple products.
- Set a base shipping price, if only this item is purchased this will be the shipping cost.
- If this item is added to a basket with other products this price will be added to the shipping costs. Ko-fi uses the most expensive shipping price as the base shipping fee, each additional item will add this secondary "Price with others" amount.
- Add a country or region to set shipping prices to a specific location.
- Include shipping information for your buyers such as estimated shipping time, processing time, type of shipping and courier you will be using etc.
Requesting a Phone Number
Some couriers require a recipient phone number to send a consignment. You can activate this option from your Shop Settings screen and every purchaser of a physical item will be required to add a phone number to complete checkout. We suggest only turning this on if your chosen courier requires this information.
Clone a Listing
Save time while listing products and clone listings of items that are similar.
Listing 5 new art prints? simply create one base listing for your prints and clone it, all you need to do is change the title and add a picture of the item.
How does it work?
Head over to your Ko-fi Shop Setup and find the listing that you want to duplicate.
All listings in the Products section now have the clone button available, click this button to create a listing that copies: Product description, Summary, Product categories, Price, Options and Variations, Shipping prices, Shipping information.
All you need to do is add a Product Name and Product Images, you also have the option to edit any of the other information if needed.
Rearrange your Shop Items
When you have a new item you want to promote whilst keeping your best-selling products easy to find you can rearrange your shop items smoothly.
From your Ko‑fi Shop choose Rearrange > Custom Ordering to drag and drop the items into the sequence that suits you.
You can also choose a default sort to make your highest value items display first, prioritize new products, or sort your items based on the most frequently bought.
