Product-level Shipping Transfers PRO
Override global shipping transfer rules on individual products to control exactly how much of the shipping fee goes to each connected Stripe account.
Overview#
Product-level shipping transfers give you fine-grained control over how shipping fees are split for specific products. Instead of relying on a single global rule, you can assign a unique shipping transfer value to any product — useful when different products have different fulfillment costs or vendor agreements.
Setting up product-level shipping transfers#
Go to Products in your WordPress admin and edit the product you want to configure.
Scroll down to the Product Data panel and click the Split Pay Plugin tab.
In the Shipping Transfer section, choose a transfer type:
- Percentage — A percentage of the shipping fee allocated to this product.
- Fixed Amount — A flat dollar amount from the shipping fee.
Enter the shipping transfer value.
Save the product.
Variable products#
For variable products, shipping transfer values can be configured per variation. Navigate to the Variations tab in the product editor, expand a variation, and you'll find the Split Pay Plugin shipping fields for that specific variation.
Each variation can have its own shipping transfer type and value — for example, a heavier variation might transfer a larger shipping amount to the fulfillment vendor.
If a variation does not have a shipping transfer configured, it falls back to the parent product's shipping transfer. If the parent product also has no shipping transfer set, it falls back to the global shipping transfer.
Fallback hierarchy#
The plugin resolves shipping transfer values using a clear priority chain:
The first non-empty value in the chain is used. This means you can set a global default, override it at the product level where needed, and further override at the variation level for maximum flexibility.
Example#
Consider the following setup:
| Level | Shipping Transfer |
|---|---|
| Global setting | 25% of shipping fee |
| Product "Custom T-Shirt" | 40% of shipping fee |
| Product "Standard Mug" | Not set (uses global) |
If a customer orders both items and pays $10.00 in shipping:
- The T-Shirt's connected account receives a shipping transfer based on 40% of the T-Shirt's proportional share of shipping.
- The Mug's connected account receives a shipping transfer based on 25% (global fallback) of the Mug's proportional share.
Tip: Use the Bulk Editor to quickly update shipping transfer values across many products at once, rather than editing each product individually.
