You will need to setup one or more of the below shipping options if shipping is not included in the cost of your products.

There are four different areas for setting up shipping -  Region, Method, Group & Range.

Please see each section below for descriptions & step-by-step instructions.

1. Login to your administration website

If the shipping cost will be different based on the location that it is shipped to, you will need to create a region for each of these locations. E.g. Interstate or internationally may attract a higher total shipping cost.

Weight Range (kg)

Shipping based on Weight allows you to specify shipping costs for orders based on the total weight of the cart. Your shopping cart will add the total weight of all the products within the customer's cart and provide a shipping cost based on the total weight of the products & the ranges that you allocate in this section.

1. Select Set Ranges
2. Click Add New
3. Insert title
   1. E.g. Orders between 0kg-5kg
4. Select Weight Range (kg) for the type of range from the drop down list
5. Insert the maximum weight value for this range
   1. E.g. 5 (kg)
6. Insert the maximum volume (sqcm) value for this range (if applicable)
   1. This example, volume is not applicable, value is 0
7. Click Save
8. Repeat steps 1-6 until you have all of the weight ranges setup

Every weight variation needs to be setup separately. E.g. orders under 5kg, between 5kg-10kg, between 10kg-20kg etc. If the total order weight exceeds the maximum weight setup in ranges, the shipping cost will default to $0. It is important that you setup costs for weights higher than you expect you will ever sell to ensure the shipping does not default to $0.

Order Value Range

Shipping is calculated based on the total amount ($) your customer spends in the checkout. This range is generally used to offer discounted or free shipping for orders over a nominated value spent in the cart.
