Screen: ShopSite > Commerce Setup > Shipping > Shipping by Currency
The Shipping by Currency table lets you define how much your store will charge for shipping based on the total cost of the order and the delivery method that the customer chooses. By default, three delivery methods are enabled, but you can enable up to 100 or disable any that you don’t need. You can change the names of the delivery methods by editing the text fields above each column.
To use Shipping by Currency, simply define your rate table on this screen. Each row represents a price range, and you can display any number of rows between 20 and 200, but you don’t have to use all of the rows. ShopSite adds up the total price for all products in an order and charges the shipping amount set here in the table.
Note: |
The shipping charge is based on the cost of the order after any discounts are applied but before coupons are applied.

When you define your table, it is best to include two decimal places in the price range -- such as "9.99" and "19.99" -- to be sure to cover all possibilities. To set a maximum charge, set the "Amount Up To" value in the last defined range to a cost beyond what customers will spend on a single order, such as 9999.99.
Note: |
"N/A" can be used for currency amounts for which you don't want to provide a particular shipping option. For example, you may want to ship small value orders only by 2nd Day Air or Next Day, since you can make a little extra on the product by shipping that way. So for orders that are for 5.00 or less you put n/a in the Ground column, but for orders more than that you put a dollar value. 2nd Day Air and Next day would have values in all rows of the table.
