How do I set up my shipping tables?
Now that you've selected the way you'd like to calculate your shipping, let's take a look at how we configure these.
1. Login to the admin area
2. Select Configuration > Domestic Shipping Tables from the left menu
As you can see you can turn on up to 18 shipping tables for your store. This enables you to have multiple options for the different locations you are shipping to. All the options have the same settings in the top area of this page. Let's run through them:
3. Select the Activate Table tickbox to turn the table on for the Webstore. If you wish to hide the table, ensure this is unticked.
4. Give your shipping option a Title for your customers (this displays on the site)
5. Give you shipping a Description so your customer can understand what this shipping method means. If you have free shipping above a certain amount, here is a good spot to advertise that fact ie 'Free shipping for orders over $100'
6. If you would like to restrict this form to certain Postcodes enter comma separated individual postcodes or a range ie 4218,4220-4230,4500-4600,4901 etc
Once you've set up the top half of the table, you must set up the breaks for working out the shipping cost.
Price
1. If you would like to set up a base rate/handling fee only, you can set this here. Enter your dollar amount. If you don't want to charge anything more, ensure the first Break is set up as below:
If you would like to set up breaks, set them up allowing a line for each breakpoint you'd like to charge it. The left column shows the cart total, the right-hand column represents the shipping charge:
