Isn't that most of them? Unless you assume they eat variable shipping by 'fronting' you a fixed price. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

It is still typical (for which I am thankful), but that seems to be shifting a bit.

A relatively common example would be shops using the Shopify platform.
