Shipping Providers

If you sell shippable products, you will need to set up shipping methods for your store to deliver orders to customers. You can either define your own shipping methods or use the pre-defined shipping methods provided by popular carriers, such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx. There are a variety of preinstalled shipment plugins connecting the platform with leading shipping providers, in addition to inbuilt tools for complex shipping calculations, such as shipping by weight and fixed rate shipping.

If you decide to define and use your own shipping methods, the shipping rates for these methods should be entered manually. If you decide to use the shipping methods provided by the carrier companies like USPS, UPS or FedEx, the shipping rates for these methods will need to be obtained from the respective carrier companies.

Manual (Fixed or By Weight and By Total) shipping allows setting fixed fees or calculating fees by weight and by total to all predefined shipping methods.

Define Manual (Fixed or By Weight and By Total) shipping

Go to Configuration → Shipping → Shipping Providers. The Shipping providers window is displayed:

Enable manual shipping rate computation method, as follows:

In the Manual (Fixed or By Weight and By Total) row, click the Edit button
In the Is active column, check the checkmark
Click Update. The false option becomes true

Click Configure beside the Manual (Fixed or By Weight and By Total) option in the list.

You can switch Fixed rate shipping fee calculation to Shipping by weight and by total calculation by clicking button at the top of the page.

Fixed Rate

Click Edit beside a shipping method and enter the fixed rate for it.

By weight/Total

The shipping by weight and by total option allows setting different shipping fees based on a shipment weight and total. The ability to charge different fees depending on the weight and total of the shipment helps to keep the company's shipping costs down when heavy items are shipped, yet offer reasonable shipping costs to customers who purchase light products.

Use formula [additional fixed cost] + ([order total weight] - [lower weight limit]) × [rate per weight unit] + [order subtotal] × [charge percentage] to calculate the fees, where:

additional fixed cost - is the cost of shipment in case the weight is under a certain level (lower weight limit)
rate per weight unit - is the cost of each weight unit above the lower weight limit
order subtotal and charge percentage - are parameters for calculating the extra cost based on the order subtotal

For example, if you have the following shipping conditions:

from weight 0 to 1 pounds and order subtotal from 1$ and order subtotal to 10$ the cost is 10$. You should create the following shipping rules:

Order weight from: 0
Order weight to: 1
Order subtotal from: 1
Order subtotal to: 10
Additional fixed cost: 10
Lower weight limit: 0
Rate per weight unit: 0

from weight 1.1 pounds to 2 pounds and order subtotal from 11$ and order subtotal to 1000000$ the cost is 15$. You should create the following shipping rules:

Order weight from: 1.000
Order weight to: 2
Order subtotal from: 11
Order subtotal to: 1000000
Additional fixed cost: 15
Lower weight limit: 0
Rate per weight unit: 0

over 2 pounds the cost is 3$ per each additional 0.5 pounds.You should create the following shipping rules:

If your fixed cost is $15 and $6 per pounds over 2 pounds.
Order weight from: 2.0001
Order weight to: 99999
Additional fixed cost: 15
Lower weight limit: 2
Rate per weight unit: 3
