What it does
Shipping set up from memory quietly loses money. A flat rate that covers a small parcel can lose on a heavy one, and a free-shipping line set too low eats the margin on every order. This prompt starts from your real carrier cost. It drafts a small set of zones, checks the price charged against the cost, picks a line just above your average basket, and gives you carts to test before launch.
You give it
- Where you ship (required): countries or states, and where each ships from.
- Real carrier cost (required): per country or weight band.
- Parcel (required): packed weight and box size.
- Average order value and margin (advised).
- Platform (advised): Shopify or WooCommerce.
You get
- Zones and a rate for each
- A margin check per zone
- A free-shipping line with the reason
- Checkout wording and test carts
Use it when
- You are setting up shipping for the first time.
- You are adding a new country.
- You suspect free shipping is costing you margin.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into a chat with Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.
- Under it, paste your details: where you ship; real carrier cost; parcel; average order value and margin; platform.
- Send it and read the answer against the checks.
- If a line says MISSING, add that detail and send it again.
