Shipping

Shipping is enabled in Drupal Commerce 2.x with an external module Commerce Shipping. This module only provides an API and plugins for flat rate (both per order and per item) shipping functionality. As with Drupal Commerce 1.x, you will need a plugin or plugins provided by other module(s) for calculating actual shipping costs with shipping services. See the full list of currently available plugins.

If you only need flat rates for shipments, you will be able to install only Commerce Shipping. The recommended way to install Commerce shipping is with Composer.

composer require drupal/commerce_shipping

Then enable the module, via Drush, Drupal Console or the UI.

drupal module:install commerce_shipping

However, you will likely also want a specific plugin for calculating shipping rates for your shipper(s) of choice. For example, Fedex, at this time, there are limited plugins created and you may need to create your own. See the list above. In general, installing those plugins is as simple as installing the Drupal module that includes them, although they may have specific installation instructions, in which case, please follow them. For example, to install the Fedex plugin, you would:

composer require drupal/commerce_fedex
drupal module:install commerce_fedex

Whatever shipping method you are using, you will need to set any shippable product variation types as shippable. Go to /admin/commerce/config/product-variation-types/ and edit each variation type that you want to enable shipping for. Product Variation Type Edit Form

Depending on your shipping plugin, you may also need to enable dimensions there.
