Defining Shipping Charges by Price

Price-based shipping calculations are calculated at the line level based on the percentage of price and are NOT prorated like the other calculation methods.

To define shipping charges by price:

1.    On the Shipping Charges Maintenance screen, from Define Shipping Charges task category, click Simple By Price.
The Shipping Charges Maintenance – Simple by Price screen displays, as shown below.

2.    From the Define Simple Charges by Percent of Price section, click Add.

3.    Select the effective begin date for the shipping charges defined from the Begin Date drop-down.
This shipping method will be charged if the order date is on or after the begin date.

4.    In Base Ship Amount field, enter the minimum shipping amount that will be charged regardless of product weight per order per ship-via.
For example, if an order has three line items, two being shipped via FedEx and one being shipped via UPS, then the Base Ship Amount defined for the FedEx will be split between the two lines, AND the Base Ship Amount for UPS will be applied to the third line.

5.    In Percentage of Price for Shipping field, enter the percentage of the order total applied to shipping the product per ship-via.

6.    In the Amount Charged per Unit Weight field, enter the amount of money charged to every order per unit weight.

7.    Select the effective End Date for the shipping charges defined from the drop-down.
This shipping method will be charged if the order date is before the End Date.

8.    Click Save.
