By Shipping Method

This setup allows you to calculate shipping costs based on the shipping method selected. You can choose to apply the rule either at the order level or for specific products, giving you flexibility in how shipping charges are applied.

1. Set Rule by Order

Step 1 - Create a Shipping Zone

To start, you need to create a shipping zone that defines the countries this zone will cover.

• Go to Cost Settings > Shipping.

You can either:

• Create a new shipping zone and select the countries you want to include.

• Select an existing shipping zone if you’ve already added one.

Note: A country cannot belong to more than one shipping zone. If you try to add a country that is already part of another zone.

Step 2 - Create Shipping Cost Rules

• Select “Set Rule by Order” to calculate shipping costs at the order level.

• Select your desired Shipping Method to apply the rule across all shipping methods.

Step 3 - Set your Shipping Rates

Once your shipping rule is selected, define how shipping costs are calculated. You can choose from the following methods:

1. Fixed Rate for All Products

Apply a flat shipping fee regardless of weight, quantity, or order value.

2. Rate Based on Order Weight

Set shipping costs according to weight ranges. For example:

• 1–1000 g → shipping = 2

• 2000–5000 g → shipping = 0.5

• 5000 g–∞ → shipping = 0.7

Shipping charges are cumulative across ranges. For instance:

• An order weighing 3000 g = 2 + 0.5

• An order weighing 6000 g = 2 + 0.5 + 0.7

3. Rate Based on Item Quantity

Set shipping costs depending on the number of items in the order. Charges are cumulative across quantity ranges, similar to weight-based rates.

4. Rate Based on Order Value

Set shipping costs based on the total value of the order. Rates can be defined in value ranges, and the shipping charges are applied cumulatively across those ranges.

2. Set Rule by Product

Step 1 - Create a Shipping Zone

To start, you need to create a shipping zone that defines the countries this zone will cover.

• Go to Cost Settings > Shipping.

You can either:

• Create a new shipping zone and select the countries you want to include.

• Select an existing shipping zone if you’ve already added one.

Note: A country cannot belong to more than one shipping zone. If you try to add a country that is already part of another zone.

Step 2 – Create Shipping Cost Rules (By Products)

• Select “Set Rule by Product” to calculate shipping costs based on product groups.

• Create a product group – you can create multiple product groups for different sets of products. Note: The same product cannot be added to more than one group.

• Select the Shipping Method from the dropdown menu.

Step 3 – Add Shipping Rates (By Products)

After creating your product groups, define how shipping costs are calculated. You can choose from the following methods:

1. Fixed Rate for All Products

Apply a flat shipping fee to all products in the group, regardless of quantity.

2. Rate Based on Item Quantity

Set shipping costs depending on the number of items in the product group. Charges are cumulative across quantity ranges.

Example:

• 1–2 units → shipping = 1.5

• 3–5 units → shipping = 2

• 6 units and above → shipping = 2.5

Cumulative Charges:

• An order with 4 items = 1.5 + 2 = 3.5

• An order with 7 items = 1.5 + 2 + 2.5 = 6
