Shipping Fee Calculation and Google Ads/Shopping

Hey Everyone,

I have about 105 Smart Composite products on my website now, and they’re mostly suspension kits, so people have to select each item for how much lift they would like on their vehicle, what quality level of parts they want to buy, and also what optional add-ons they want to buy. For this reason, I have all of the composite products set to “Shipping Fee: Apply to each component product”, because if they do or don’t buy additional parts, the shipping costs will go up. This has been working awesome for a long time.

I also have a default shipping class for each Smart Composite Product. Usually about $140 or so which is an average shipping price for most of them.

Recently, after running Google Shopping Ads, they’re seeing the difference between the default shipping class for the product, and how the product page would actually calculate the shipping cost, based on what was selected. (For example, the default class is $140 and the actual amount is $135, as calculated by the Google bots). Now here’s the problem. The base amount of parts in each composite product page has defaults set for the default shipping class (shipping cost), but the shipping amount can easily change if a single product’s shipping class (shipping cost) changes. And recently, shipping costs have been changing a lot. So I change the shipping cost at the individual simple product level, and not the Component page, because it pulls that info together automatically.

Google Shopping is saying it needs to match, which will be very time consuming to work that out and edit them all.

Any suggestions for what I can do? I don’t even have a quick way to see the shipping cost of the default items without adding them to a shopping cart and calculating shipping for each of the 100+ pages.

Thanks
Mike
