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.
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.

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.
