If shipping amounts are necessary, a Shipping Rate Computation Method must be selected and configured.
Available Shipping Rate Computation methods
Fixed rate shipping – simple, flat-rate shipping with options to increase shipping on specific items as needed |
Shipping by weight – requires product weight to be entered for each product and broad formulas created to calculate price based on weight |
Various carriers provide their own – requires a shipper account and a website URL with appropriate login credentials with one of the major carriers (UPS, USPS, FedEx, Australia Post or Canada Post) |
The default shipping method is Fixed Rate Shipping with average prices set as the default rate. You may check and change these as needed.
