## Overview

By default, Split Pay only transfers amounts based on product line items. With the **Shipping Fee Transfers** feature, you can also split shipping charges and route them to your connected Stripe accounts — independently from product transfer amounts.

Shipping transfers are planned as separate Stripe transfer legs from product transfers, even when both go to the same connected account.

Shipping fee transfers are a PRO feature. [Upgrade to Pro](https://splitpayplugin.com/pricing) to enable shipping transfers.

## Two types of shipping transfers

The plugin provides two levels of control for shipping fee transfers:

<a id="global-shipping"></a>

### 1\. Global shipping transfers

Store-wide recipient rows — each with a percentage or fixed amount — apply to the shipping pool left after any product-level shipping transfers. See [Global Shipping Transfers](../../features/how-to-transfer-shipping-fees/global-shipping-transfers/) for setup.

<a id="product-level-shipping"></a>

### 2\. Product-level shipping transfers

Apply a percentage or fixed amount to a product or variation’s shipping share from the product’s **Split Pay Plugin** tab. See [Product-level Shipping Transfers](../../features/how-to-transfer-shipping-fees/product-level-shipping-transfers/) for setup.

## How the two levels interact

Split Pay calculates product-level shipping transfers first and subtracts only the amounts assigned. Global shipping rows then use the remaining order-level shipping pool.

**Tip:** Use product-level shipping only where a recipient needs a product-specific amount. Shipping not assigned there remains available to the global rows.

## How shipping amounts are calculated

For standard WooCommerce orders, Split Pay divides the collected shipping among shippable order lines by quantity, using exact minor-unit rounding so the shares add up to the shipping charged. A product-level percentage or fixed rule applies to that line’s share.

Product prices do not determine shipping shares. Global rows apply to the shipping pool remaining after product-level shipping amounts are assigned.
