Shipping By Zone – best for Stores Locally. Please see the video tutorial
Flat Rate – lets you charge a fixed rate for shipping
Method Title: Enter a Title that displays to customers in checkout.
Note: To limit shipping weight base on the shipping method you can add on the method title:(Name of the Shipping company) up to “1kg”.
For example:
BCD Express Delivery up to “1kg”
Cost: Sellers can add additional costs per item to this field. This can be left blank to disable Flat Rate except where costs are added for Shipping Classes. Note that what you enter here may factor into the overall cost in the Shipping Classes section unless it’s left blank.
Following are the place-holders which are to be kept in mind while entering the cost:
[qty] – Number of products in the cart
[fee] – An additional fee. This fee has two optional arguments.
percent – A percentage based on total order cost.
min_fee – A minimum amount. Useful when using percentages.
max_fee – A maximum amount. Useful when using percentages.
Examples:
- 20 + (50 * [qty]) – A base shipping cost of ₱20 plus ₱30 for each item in the cart.
- 50 + [fee percent=”5″ min_fee=”20″] – A base shipping cost of ₱50 plus 5% of the order total, which is at least ₱20.
Tax Status – Define whether or not tax is applied to the shipping amount.
Shipping class cost: If you have shipping classes, the interface adds a few more fields as shown in the above pic. These costs can be optionally entered based on the shipping class set per product (This cost will be added with the shipping cost above).
Cost of shipping class “A1 Small”, “A2 Medium”, “A3 Large”- Enter the cost for a particular shipping class setup by A-buy.
No shipping class cost- Useful if you use the Per Class option. Otherwise, use the Cost field.
Calculation Type – Two options:
