Charges
From the Shipping Charges screen you can select whether and how you will charge for shipping by one of the following options:
No Shipping Charges - Shipping costs are already included in the price of the item, or no physical product will be shipped.
Fixed Charge - Shipping charges are the same for all orders, irregardless of which items or how many items are sold.
By Total Weight of Order - Shipping charges are calculated based upon the shipping weight of the order (not product weight)
By Total Cost of Order - Shipping charges are based upon the total price of the order.
By Number of Items Ordered - Shipping charges are strictly based upon the quantity of product being delivered, that is, a fixed shipping charge applies to each and every item shipped
The entire table shown above is editable to suit the standard shipping charges of the shipping agency being used to deliver your products to your Customers. The table will charge according to the shipping charge method selected.
Because only one set of shipping charges can be entered, if you normally utilize more than one shipping agency (such as Federal Express, UPS, US Postal Service), it is recommended that you use either the rates for the agency that you utilize most often, or else enter the highest rate from among of the agencies that you utilize.
Methods
The second tab on the "Shipping Charges" screen allows you to specify which method(s) of shipping that you want to designate for your website.
NOTE: The default, method "Regular" cannot be unselected.
Units of Weight
The Units of Weight tab of the Shipping Charges screen is used to designate whether you want to display shipping weight in Pounds (Lbs) or Kilograms. These units will be displayed on your website and on your Internet Orders.
