- Use Lab 50
- Store Management > Shipping & Handling Charges
- Click the “add” button at the bottom of the “Weight-based shipping tiers” window. In this example, the base price here is $1.99. For any orders that exceed 3 ounces an additional dollar is added. The chart goes all the way up to 204 ounces with a maximum shipping cost of $28.99.
- To calculate shipping by weight, each product in your product catalog needs to have a weight value entered. This can be done in myLab or Lab 50. For instance, 4x6 is assigned a weight of 0.30 ounces. In this case up to 10 4x6 prints would ship for $1.99 and once 10 were ordered the shipping price would jump to $2.99 as it would exceed 3 ounces total.
FAQ
Question: What are options for customers outside of my country?
Answer: You can add a new shipping method for that country and have separate prices for that. You rely on the customer to select the right choice, so they could pick US when they are in Canada, but in practice we have seen this infrequently. For example: a US company could have:
- UPS Ground Shipping within US
- UPS 2-day Shipping within US
- UPS Overnight Shipping within US
- UPS Ground Shipping to Canada
Alternatively, we can limit shipments to just your country. There is a setting we can enable in the database which will hide the "country" field on the checkout page, limiting it to just the dealer's country. Let our support desk know if you would like to set it up this way.
Question: How can I set up ZIP code or zone-based shipping?
Answer: The system doesn't not automatically calculate shipping based on delivery, but you can offer choice for the customer. You do rely on the customer to pick the choice that corresponds to their location, so staff should be trained to double check. For example: A Canadian retailer may offer:
- Canada Post to BC, AB, SK, MB: $7.95
- Canada Post to ON, QC, NC, NS, PE, NL: $9.95
- Canada Post to YT: $11.95
- Canada Post to NT, NU: $29.95
