# Charge for shipping

Create different shipping rates for your customers.

Shipping rates let you display various shipping options – like standard, express, and overnight – with more accurate delivery estimates. Charge your customer for shipping using different Stripe products, some of which require coding. Before you create a shipping rate, learn how to [collect billing and shipping addresses](https://docs.stripe.com/payment-links/customize.md).

> #### Third-party plugins
> 
> If you’re using a third-party application with Stripe (for example, [Thrivecart](https://support.thrivecart.com/help/setting-your-physical-fulfilment-shipping-options/) or [Shopify](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shipping/setting-up-and-managing-your-shipping/setting-up-shipping-rates)) and want to adjust the shipping rate, visit the docs for that service.

#### Dashboard

1. Create a [payment link](https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/payment-links/create) and select **Collect customers’ addresses** with the **Billing and shipping addresses** option.

#### API

[Create a shipping rate](https://docs.stripe.com/api/shipping_rates.md), which at a minimum, requires the `type` and `display_name` parameters. The following code sample uses both of these parameters along with `fixed_amount` and `deliver_estimate` to create a shipping rate:

```curl
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/shipping_rates \
  -u "<<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>>:" \
  -d "display_name=Ground shipping" \
  -d type=fixed_amount \
  -d "fixed_amount[amount]=500" \
  -d "fixed_amount[currency]=usd" \
  -d "delivery_estimate[minimum][unit]=business_day" \
  -d "delivery_estimate[minimum][value]=5" \
  -d "delivery_estimate[maximum][unit]=business_day" \
  -d "delivery_estimate[maximum][value]=7"
```

Create a payment link and [collect a billing and shipping address](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/collect-addresses.md?payment-ui=payment-links). Add shipping rates to the payment link using the [shipping_options](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment-link/object.md#payment_link_object-shipping_options) parameter. You can only use shipping rates with one time prices on payment links.

```curl
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/payment_links \
  -u "<<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>>:" \
  -d "line_items[0][price]={{PRICE_ID}}" \
  -d "line_items[0][quantity]=1" \
  -d billing_address_collection=required \
  -d "shipping_address_collection[allowed_countries][0]=US" \
  -d "shipping_options[0][shipping_rate]={{SHIPPINGRATE_ID}}"
```
