< All Topics

To set up a shipping cost that depends on order total and weight:

1.In the Administration panel, go to Administration → Shipping & taxes → Shipping methods.

2. Add a new shipping method with manual rate calculation, or choose one of the existing methods to configure it.

3. The shipping method editing page will open. Switch to the Shipping time and rates tab.

4. Decide where your shipping method will be offered. To do this, choose rate areas from the dropdown list. If there is a rate area in the store which you did not include in the shipping method, orders will not be delivered in this area.

5. Leave the Rate field empty.

6. Configure the Price condition section as follows:

FromToSurcharge / Discount
$00.00$1000.00$50.00
$1000.00and up (leave the field empty)$20.00

7. Configure the Weight condition section as follows:

FromToSurcharge / Discount
0 kgs100kgs$10.00
100kgsand up (leave the field empty)$15.00

8. Click Save.

In this case, the shipping rates from the Price condition and Weight condition sections will apply together. Here are some examples of how the shipping cost will be calculated:

  • The order total is below $1000, and the order weight is less than 100 kgs: $50 + $10.
  • The order total is below $1000, and the order weight exceeds 100 kgs: $50 + $15.
  • The order total exceeds $1000, and the order weight is less than 100 kgs: $20 + $10.
  • The order total exceeds $1000, and the order weight exceeds 100 kgs: $20 + $15.
