Setting up custom shipping rates

Spiffy Stores allows you to create custom shipping rates based on either weight or on price.  To add a custom shipping rate, go to the "Preferences >> Shipping & handling" section of your Store Toolbox, and follow the instructions below.

Creating a custom weight-based shipping rate

1. Click on the "Add a weight-based rate" link under the country that you want to add a custom weight-base shipping rate for.
   
   
2. Name your shipping rate. This name appears in your checkout when a customer places an order, so generally you would write the method that it's being shipped by… for instance "Australia Post Air Mail".
   
   
3. Add the weight range. The first box is the starting (lowest) weight that applies for this weight range. The second box is the ending (highest) weight that applies for this weight range.
   
   Note: In order for the weight range to apply to the current contents of the shopping cart, the weight of the cart must be greater than or equal to the lowest value in the range, but less than the highest value in the weight range.
4. Add the price for this shipping rate.
   
   
5. Ensure that "None - Use fixed Price" is selected, and click the "Add new Shipping Rate" button.

If you want to adjust the price for different regions in the country (including custom regions that you've created), edit the rate that you've just created, and use the arrows to adjust the rate up or down. You can also disable the rate for any regions as well, so you can create a custom rate that only applies to customers in your local area.

Creating a custom price-based shipping rate

Click on the "Add a price-based rate" link under the country that you want to add a custom rate for.

1. Name your shipping rate. This name appears in your checkout when a customer places an order, so generally you would write the method that it's being shipped by... for instance "DHL Standard Air".
   
   
2. Add the cart value range.  This value box is the lowest value of items in your customers' shopping cart that applies for this shipping rate.
   
   
3. Add the price for this shipping rate.
   
   
4. Click the "Save Rate" button.

If you want to adjust the price for different regions in the country (including custom regions that you've created), edit the rate that you've just created, and use the arrows to adjust the rate up or down.   You can also disable the rate for any regions as well, so you can create a custom rate that only applies to customers in your local area.
