Base Plus Shipping

Base Plus Shipping lets you set a base shippng charge and a shipping charge for each product. The customer is charged the total of all the individual shipping charges plus the base shipping charge. You can consider the base shipping charge as a "handling charge."

For example, suppose you have set $3.00 as your base shipping charge. A small item has a shipping charge of $.50 while a larger item has a shipping charge of $4.00. The small item ordered alone would be $3.50 to ship. The larger item would be $7.00.

A shipping charge field for each delivery method (next day, second day, etc) will appear on the Add New Product and Edit Product Info pages (advanced editing). You can also use the Power Edit Pages or Database Upload features to set shipping charges for each product. By default, three delivery methods are enabled, but you can enable up to 10 or disable any that you don’t need. You can change the names of the delivery methods in Preferences > Store Text > Shipping.
