Shipping Charge Type - New in Version 4.3+


The "Shipping Charge Type" replaces the free shipping checkbox in earlier versions and works in conjunction with the amount entered in the "Shipping Charge" field.

Surcharge: The amount entered in the Shipping Charge field is added to any regular shipping charges. This amount is cumulative, depending on the quantity ordered.

Flat Rate: The amount entered in the Shipping Charge field is not added to any regular shipping charges, including UPS real-time rates. This amount is cumulative, depending on the quantity ordered.


 

One Time Surcharge: The amount entered in the Shipping Charge field is added to
any regular shipping charges. This amount is added once and is not dependent on
the quantity ordered.

One Time Flat: The amount entered in the Shipping Charge field is not added
to any regular shipping charges, including UPS real-time rates. This amount is added once and is not dependent on
the quantity ordered.


 

Default Method Free: This replaces the previous "free shipping" checkbox. When the item is purchased, no shipping will be charged for that item. This method only applies to the default shipping method.

 

Always Free: When this item is purchased, no shipping will be charged for the item. This method applies to ALL shipping methods.

Require Shipping Quote: This replaces the older "requires shipping quote" checkbox. When this item is purchased, the customer will not be required to enter payment information during checkout. After submitting the order, the site owner would need to contact the customer with a shipping quote and obtain payment.
