Setting Local Country

Shipping charges are applied through two viewpoints: orders shipped to your local country and orders shipped elsewhere. The two areas are set similarly. You must select your local country under the Local Orders section first. This will automatically set the International Orders section to the same country. If you do not plan to ship outside your country then do not adjust the International Orders section further.

Local Orders

Which method do you want to use to calculate shipping?

Standard Shipping

Standard shipping relies upon the shipping charges specified for individual SKUs. With this option, shipping charges are applied based on the quantity of SKU ordered multiplied by the shipping price represented in the “Shipping Charge (A)” field for the particular SKU in the Product Info tab of the Edit Product panel.

UPS Realtime Shipping

UPS Realtime Shipping makes it possible for your customers to see the most up-to-date shipping costs. You must have an account with UPS in order to activate this option. On the UPS website, you will be asked to give business information and to set the weight and dimensions for your products. Once this is completed, you will then fill in your UPS Account Username and Password in the shopping cart.

Shipping by Order Sub-Total

Selecting this option allows you charge different shipping rates based on the overall order Sub-Total only. When utilizing this method, shipping charges associated with individual Skus through the “Shipping Charge (A)” field will be excluded from the checkout process.

Shipping Charges Using Custom PHP Include

In keeping with Soholaunch’s dedication to flexibility, custom-developed PHP includes can be uploaded and integrated with the Shopping Cart module. Once uploaded, these includes are selected from the dropdown. (See Custom PHP Includes for more information). Make sure you check and configure any third-party includes to confirm operation and that they do not contain malicious code.

International Orders

Shipping Charges are set here for orders to be shipped outside your set local country. The settings are made in the same manner as the settings for Local Orders (see above).
