How to setup shipping charges?

Shipping charges in your store are calculated according to the formula:

SHIPPING = Rate + TOTAL_WEIGHT*Weight_Rate + ITEMS*Item_Rate + SUM*Percent_Rate/100<

You can define shipping charges based on order weight by specifying a non-empty value in Range column in Weight field.

Example:

if you set up Weight to 5 lbs and Flat to 10 and leave all other fields untouched you will get the shipping cost of $10 for orders which weigh from 0 to 5 lbs, i.e.

SHIPPING = 10 (Flat) + 1 (Weight of order, for example) * 0 (Per lbs) + 1 (Number of items in cart, for example) * 0 (Per item) + 10.99 (Order cost, for example) * 0 (%) /100 = 10.

If you set up Order Total to 100 and % to 10 you will get shipping cost equal to 10% from order total if order total is from 0 to $100.

SHIPPING = 0 (Flat) + 1 (Weight) * 0 (Per lbs) + 1 (Number of items in cart, for example) * 0 (Per item) + 10.99 (Order cost, for example) * 10 (%) /100 = 10.
