Screen: ShopSite > Commerce Setup > Shipping > Shipping by Weight
The Shipping by Weight table lets you define how much your store will charge for shipping based on the weight of the order and the delivery method that the customer chooses. 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.
Each row in the table represents a weight range, and you can display any number of rows between 20 and 200, but you don’t have to use all of the rows. For each weight range and delivery method, enter the shipping charge.
To use Shipping by Weight, you must define your rate table on this screen and you must enter a weight for each product in your store. ShopSite adds up the total weight for all products in an order and charges the shipping amount set here in the table.
Note: |
ShopSite will not add any shipping charges for products that do not have a weight specified.

When you define your table, it is best to include two decimal places in the weight ranges -- such as "0.00 to 3.99" and "4.00 to 5.99" -- to be sure to cover all possibilities. To set a maximum charge, set the "To" value in the last defined range to a large weight, such as 999.99.
