| Shipping Charge Examples
Once you have defined where you are willing to ship by
creating shipping destination zones, you must tell your stall
how much to charge people when they purchase from within that
zone. Here are some useful examples.
- Up to X kg's charge a flat shipping rate
of $X
- Up to X kg's charge a flat shipping rate
of $X + $X per kg
- Up to X kg's the shipping rate will be
10% of the order subtotal
- $X per item
- Defining different rates for different weights
|
What does this mean?
In the example above, items up to 10kg shipped to shipping
destination zone 'Australia' will cost a flat rate of $8.
This means that any package up to 10kg will cost $8 to
ship to destination zone 'Australia'. |
What does this mean?
In the example above, items up to 10kg shipped to shipping
destination zone 'Australia' will cost a flat rate of $8 +
$2.50 per kg. This means that a 2kg package will cost $13
to ship to destination zone 'Australia'.
Note: You can charge per kg without a flat
rate. To do this leave the flat rate empty and define a weight
and per kg value. |
What does this mean?
In the example above, orders up to 10kg shipped to shipping
destination zone 'Australia' will cost 10% of the order
subtotal. This means that if one or several items are purchased,
and the total weight of all the items is less than 10kg
the shipping price will be 10% of the order subtotal. |
What does this mean?
In the example above, any order to shipping
destination zone 'Australia' will incur a $5 shipping
charge per item. If the customer purchases 5 products the
shipping charge will be $25. |
You can define multiple rates for different weights in the
following way. You can add as many shipping charges to a
zone as you wish:
What does this mean?
In the example above, any order going to shipping destination
zone 'Australia' weighing up to 500 grams will cost $2.50
to ship. Any order to the same zone weighing between 500
grams to 2 kg will cost $5 to ship. Any order to the same
zone weighing between 2 kg and 5 kg will cost $10.65 to
ship.
You can add as many of these definitions as you like to
any shipping destination zone. You can also use %, per kg
and per item in the same way but the only two you can use
together on the same definition are Flat and Per kg. For
an example of using Flat and Per kg together please see
example 2
Always test your shipping by logging out of your
stallholder area placing a test order at your stall. |
