How are shipping costs calculated?
A product's shipping cost is defined by the supplier. It is based on the customer's location and where the product ships from. Note that a supplier may have more than one warehouse, and that can also factor into the shipping cost.
To give you a general idea of shipping costs, you are asked to define a primary location of where your customers are located. Go to your Store Profile page in Modalyst to set a location. This provides you the shipping rate for products shipped to the location you selected.
When you receive an order, the shipping rate will be based on the actual location of your customer and the cost of shipping there.

Are shipping rates included in the Item Cost that I owe the supplier?
Shipping rates are not included in the Item Cost. They are a separate cost which you owe the supplier. The shipping rates are listed for each item in the marketplace, on the item detail page, and on each order.
You can include the shipping cost in the item price to help cover costs and offer free shipping to your customers, without impacting your margins. To add the price of shipping to the cost of the item, go to the Pricing Rules page and click Add next to Shipping Rate.
