ECommerce-Shipping by weight

 

Shipping by weight is another option but would require you to enter the weight of each product. The shipping amount would automatically be calculated based on a formula and values that you supply.

The formula to calculate the rate is: [additional fixed cost] + ([order total weight] - [lower weight limit]) * [rate per weight unit] + [order subtotal] * [charge percentage]

To provide values for the formula for calculating shipping by weight

1.	Click eCommerce in the left-hand menu.

2.	Click Configuration in the upper drop-down menu.

3.	Click Shipping.

4.	Click Shipping Rate Computation Methods.

5.	Click Configure in the row that is titled Shipping by Weight.

6.	Click Add record to populate the values for the formula. The formula to calculate the rate is: [additional fixed cost] + ([order total weight] - [lower weight limit]) * [rate per weight unit] + [order subtotal] * [charge percentage]

7.	Enter the desired values and click Save.

8.	Continue creating records here until all scenarios have a formula that will apply.
