# Sell Physical Products Online with Shipping > Physical products are the things you post or hand over: a candle, a T-shirt, a print, a journal, a jar of chilli oil. On Vonza a Physical product carries its variants, its stock and a shipping profile, and your store takes the order, collects the address, prints the packing slip and records the tracking number. Physical products sell on Vonza as a Physical product. Included in every Vonza plan, 14-day free trial. ## What people sell as physical products Creators sell physical goods beside their digital ones: the author sells the signed paperback next to the ebook, the artist sells framed prints next to the download, the coach sells a printed journal, the podcaster sells merch, the baker sells a seasonal gift box. Small makers sell them alone: candles, ceramics, jewellery, apparel, skincare, stationery, food and drink. The products that do well have a story and a photo set that shows them in use, not on a white background alone. A buyer of a physical product expects to pick the size and the colour, to see whether it is in stock, to know the shipping cost before the last step, to be told when it ships and to have a tracking number. They expect to be able to buy two different things in one order and pay once, and increasingly they expect to be able to collect in person if they live nearby. ### What sells - Signed books, journals and stationery - Prints, art and framed work - Apparel and merch - Candles, ceramics and home goods - Jewellery and accessories - Food, drink and gift boxes ### What buyers expect - Size, colour and material options - Stock shown before they buy - Shipping cost before the last step - A tracking number when it ships ## How Vonza handles stock, variants and shipping A Physical product is “things you ship, with stock and shipping”. Here is what the store handles for you. - **Variants from up to three options**: Add up to 3 options such as Size, Colour or Material; every combination becomes a variant with its own price, stock, SKU and photo. Extras such as gift wrap or engraving are add-ons with their own price and stock, and do not create variants. - **Stock that stops sales at zero**: Track stock per product or per variant; sales stop at zero and the count falls with every order. Set a low-stock alert that emails you, choose to keep selling on back-order, and let buyers ask to be told when something is back. - **Shipping profiles by zone**: A shipping profile says where you ship and what it costs: zones by country or Rest of world, with flat, per-item or weight-banded rates, a free-over threshold and delivery days. Each physical product uses one profile, and a cart with several items gets one combined quote. - **Local pickup**: Offer local pickup with a label and an address, so nearby buyers skip postage and collect from your studio, your shop or a market stall. - **Where you sell**: Sell everywhere, only in the countries you choose, or everywhere except some, checked against the buyer’s billing country at checkout. - **Packing slips, tracking and partial shipments**: Fulfil from the order: print a packing slip PDF with a barcode, add the tracking number you got from your carrier, ship 2 of 3 items and the rest later, and mark returns and refunds, full or partial, on the same order. ## Pricing options that fit physical products Physical prices carry costs that digital ones do not, and the store’s pricing kinds cover the extras. - **One-time**: One price per product or per variant, so the large costs more than the small. - **Compare-at and a scheduled sale**: Show the regular price struck through and schedule a sale, a Black Friday weekend or a clearance, between dates you set. - **An additional fee**: Add an extra line at checkout, always added or the buyer’s choice, for handling, a donation or rush delivery. - **Subscription for a box**: A monthly coffee or candle box can be a Subscription charged weekly, monthly or yearly. - **Pay what you want**: For a charity bake sale or a zine, set a minimum and let buyers pay more. ### Bump: the thing that goes in the same parcel The bump for a physical product is the small item that ships in the same box: the matching bookmark, the second candle, the care kit, at its price or with an amount off, one tick under the buy buttons and at checkout. Gift wrap and engraving are add-ons on the product itself, with their own price and stock. ## How to start selling physical products on Vonza Three ways to make the product page, and a CSV import if you are moving a shop. 1. **Blank**: Choose Physical, name the product, add photos, options and stock, and pick a shipping profile. 2. **A template from a physical category**: Start from a finished product page in Apparel, Home & living, Beauty & wellness, Food & drink, Jewellery & accessories, Art & prints or Stationery, among the 18 categories with over 100 templates. 3. **Vonza AI, or a Shopify CSV**: Photograph the product and describe it; Vonza AI writes the page and opens it in the editor, using AI credits.

Add up to 3 options, such as Size, Colour or Material, and every combination becomes a variant with its own price, stock, SKU and photo. Extras such as gift wrap are add-ons and do not create variants. ### How does shipping work? You define it. A shipping profile sets zones by country with flat, per-item or weight-banded rates, a free-over threshold and delivery days, and each physical product uses one profile. The rates are the ones you set, and you add the tracking number from your carrier when you ship. ### Can buyers collect in person? Yes. Add local pickup to the shipping profile with a label and the pickup address, and nearby buyers choose it at checkout. ### Can I sell only to certain countries? Yes. Set where you sell to everywhere, only the countries you choose, or everywhere except some; the rule is checked against the buyer’s billing country at checkout. ### What happens when I run out of stock? Sales stop at zero unless you choose to keep selling on back-order. A low-stock alert emails you at the number you set, buyers see “Only N left” and “Out of stock” chips, and they can ask to be emailed when it is back. ### How do I fulfil an order? Open the order, print the packing slip PDF with its barcode, pack, then mark it shipped with the tracking number. Ship part of an order now and the rest later, and handle returns and full or partial refunds from the same screen. ### Can I move my products from Shopify? Yes. Import a Shopify product CSV of up to 5,000 rows: titles, descriptions, options, variants, prices, stock and up to 10 images per product, matched against your plan’s product allowance. ### Can I sell physical and digital products in the same store? Yes. One store sells seven kinds of product: digital downloads, physical goods, services, bundles, gift cards, licence keys and links. A buyer can put a print and its digital download in one cart and pay once.
