How to Transfer Shipping Fees PRO

Overview#

By default, Split Pay only transfers amounts based on product line items. With the Shipping Fee Transfers feature, you can also split shipping charges and route them to your connected Stripe accounts — independently from product transfer amounts.

Shipping transfers are calculated on top of any product or global transfer amounts. This means if you have a product transfer of $20 and a shipping transfer of $5, the connected account receives a total of $25 in a single Stripe transfer.

Two types of shipping transfers#

The plugin provides two levels of control for shipping fee transfers:

1. Global shipping transfers

One store-wide rule — percentage or fixed amount — applied to every product’s shipping fee. See Global Shipping Transfers for setup.

2. Product-level shipping transfers

Override the global rule per product (and per variation) from the product’s Split Pay Plugin tab. See Product-level Shipping Transfers for setup.

Fallback behavior#

If a product does not have a product-level shipping transfer configured, the plugin automatically falls back to the global shipping transfer setting. This means you can set a sensible default at the global level and only override it where needed.

How shipping amounts are calculated#

When an order contains multiple products with different connected accounts, the plugin distributes the total shipping fee proportionally based on each product's share of the order subtotal. The shipping transfer value (percentage or fixed) is then applied to each product's proportional share.

For example, if Product A costs $60 and Product B costs $40, Product A's connected account would receive shipping transfers based on 60% of the total shipping fee, and Product B's account would receive transfers based on 40%.
