Admin Interface:

The interface is designed to allow quick editing.  You can edit any or all of your shipping rates simultaneously.  You can also clone any of your shipping zones or shipping rates. Many features can be enabled or disabled to hide any functionality that is not needed. Inline help is provided for quick access to info.

Functionality:

1. Shipping Zones (optional)

   Any number of shipping zones can optionally be setup, based on countries and states/provinces.

2. Shipping Methods

   Any number of different shipping methods can be setup.
   Examples: Regular, Express, Cash On Delivery, Pick Up, Next Day Delivery, etc...

3. Shipping Rates

   Shipping rates can be calculated in four different ways (or any combination of these).

   • Flat Rate charge (e.g. Handling fee)
     
   • Weight charge
     
   • Per Item charge
     
   • Percent (of subtotal) charge

   Example (showing zones, methods and a variety of rates):
   Within Zone A (local country):
   For Method "Pick Up" ...... Shipping rate = FREE
   For Method "Regular" ...... Shipping rate = $4.00
   For Method "Express" ...... Shipping rate = $6.00 + ($0.50 per kg)
   Within Zone B (international):
   For Method "Regular with insurance" ...... Shipping rate = $8.00 + (5% of subtotal)

4. Ranges (Optional)

   You can also configure different shipping rates depending on the weight or subtotal of the basket.
   Example 1:
   For orders under $100 ...... Shipping rate = $5.00
   For orders $100 or over ...... Shipping rate = FREE
   Example 2:
   For orders up to 0.5kg ...... Shipping rate = A
   For orders 0.5kg to 3kg ...... Shipping rate = B
   For orders 3kg to 20kg ...... Shipping rate = C
   (Orders over 20kg not permitted)
   

Advanced Functionality:

Warning Log (Optional):  If you have complicated shipping zones or weight/subtotal ranges, you can enable the warning log, which logs any cases where a customer doesn't qualify for any shipping options.  You can then use this information to correct any problems in your zones/rates/ranges, or to contact the customer, etc.
