Delivery methods¶

Based on rules¶
To calculate the price of shipping based on pricing rules, set the Provider field to the Based on Rules option. Optionally, adjust Margin on Rate and Additional margin to include additional shipping costs.
Create pricing rules¶
Navigate to the Pricing tab and click Add a line. Doing so opens the Create Pricing Rules window, where the Condition related to the product weight, volume, price, or quantity is compared to a defined amount to calculate the Delivery Cost.
Once finished, click either Save & New to add another rule, or Save & Close.
Example
To charge customers $20 in shipping for orders with five or fewer products, set the
Condition to Quantity <= 5.00, and the Delivery Cost to $20.
To restrict shipping to specific destinations on the eCommerce website, in the shipping method form, navigate to the Destination Availability tab and define the Countries, States, and Zip Prefixes. Leave these fields empty if all locations apply.
Calculate delivery cost¶
Shipping cost is the Delivery cost specified in the rule that satisfies the Condition, plus any extra charges from the Margin on rate and Additional margin.
Example
With the two following rules set up:
If the order contains five or fewer products, shipping is $20
If the order contains more than five products, shipping is $50.
Margin on Rate is 10% and Additional margin is $9.00.
When the first rule is applied, the delivery cost is $31 (20 + (0.1 * 20) + 9). When the second rule is applied, the delivery cost is $64 (50 + (0.1 * 50) + 9).
Afhaling in de winkel¶
To configure in-store pickup, select Pickup in store in the Provider field and specify the pickup location in Warehouse.
To invoice the customer for the shipping cost to the pickup location, choose the Get Rate and Create Shipment option in the Integration Level field. Then, pick either the Estimated cost or Real cost radio options in the Invoicing Policy field to decide whether the added shipping charge on the sales order is the precise cost from the shipping carrier.
