Shipping
With the help of the shipping cost records, you are able to define shipping costs based on weight and delivery country.
The logic in detail:
- Each product has a field in which its weight can be specified and a checkbox that can be used to indicate whether a product is bulky or not (i.e. additional costs may apply for delivery).
- The weights of all products contained in the basket order are now added up - this is the total weight.
- If at least one product in the shopping cart is marked as bulky, the bulky flat rate will be added to the shipping costs.
- Now several shipping cost data sets can be created, for example up to 2 kg -> 2 €, up to 10 kg -> 10 €, etc.
- The shipping cost data set that comes closest to the weight of the shopping cart (next higher!) is now determined in the checkout.
- If you need different shipping costs in a specific delivery country, simply create an overlay with the country code. The values in your main data set are only used if the delivery country has not yet been determined. For example, in the shopping cart before the visitor has entered their address details.
- If a delivery country is specified in the checkout for which there is no overlay, an order is not possible and a corresponding message is displayed.
