Calculate shipping by product as a fixed amount or as a
percentage of the product's cost AND by the method of
shipping AND by the "ship to" State Zone. Each and every products'
shipping cost is summed to arrive at the order's shipping
cost. This module provides flexibility to combine flat
rate and percentage of subtotal calculations on a product
by product basis.
Easy admin configuration of per product shipping charges.
The store owner initially sets up the available storewide
shipping methods and rates for the store. You can have multiple
methods for as many State Zones as you establish. You
establish which states belong to which State Zone. You
can then let the storewide methods and rates apply to each and every product in the store or you can establish "Shipping Override"
by product or by category. If you desire every product in
a category to have a shipping cost different from the
storewide costs, you set up that category's "Shipping Override"
methods from the Category tab. You can even use some storewide
and some category specific. Then if you have specific shipping costs
for specific products, you can select the "Shipping Override"
tab in the product edit screen. You can use the storewide
methods and rates or override with the product specific
rate. The product specific rates take precedence over the
category specific rates and the category specific rates take
precedence over the storewide rates. All products in the store are included in the calculation. You cannot use this module to only run shipping costs for an isolated product because the customer can only select one shipping method. Hence, identify the cost, either storewide or override, for all products in the store.
Fixed cost or percentage of item price.
The "Shipping Override" costs can be set as percentage or fixed
amount and need not use the same calculation formula as the
storewide calculation for the same method. The "Shipping
Override" charges can even be zero so that shipping can be
free for certain products or categories. As an example,
the store might charge $4.00 for each item for priority mail.
However, they may charge 2% of the item's cost in the jewelry
category. As the shipping module summed the costs, it would
apply the $4.00 to each item that did not have a "Shipping
Override". Then it would multiply the 2% times each
purchased item's cost in the jewelry category and add it to
the sum.
Handling charge option.
The module even provides an input for a handling or base
charge. That amount can be different for each method of
shipping and is added after all of the individual product
shipping charges are summed.
Display this module's shipping methods based on destination.
Like our other State Zone shipping modules, you can have
different methods and rates for different areas of the country.
When the customer enters their "ship to" address during
checkout, the module determines which shipping methods will
be available to that customer. Only methods established for
their "ship to" state will be visible in the shipping and
payment selection screen.
This module is compatible with the MMUI and OpenUI look and feel
user interfaces. It is licensed per domain which means if you
have multiple stores under one domain, there are no additional
license fees for this module within that one domain/mall.
