you plan to charge shipping for has a Ship Cost set, and that the product is not marked to be<br />

2. Under Shipping Methods, select Product Based Rates.<br />

3. Click Submit to apply the new shipping method.<br />

Using Value Based Rates<br />

The Value Based Rates shipping method will calculate the cost of an order based on the total<br />

cost of the items ordered by a customer. An unlimited number of value based shipping levels<br />

can be created to accommodate shipping calculation. The use of Value Based Rates might be<br />

most appropriate for a web store selling merchandise that doesn’t incur heavy shipping costs.<br />

Before you begin configuring your value-based rates, make sure that every product you want to<br />

charge shipping for is not set to be exempt from shipping charges. You can verify this under<br />

Product Management, page 200.<br />

1. Open the Merchant Tools in your browser. Click the link for Shipping Configuration.<br />

2. Under Shipping Methods, select Value Based Rates.<br />

3. Set your shipping rates. Under Value Based Shipping Setup, enter the first level of<br />

the Value Based Shipping scheme. Each level should include the upper limit of the<br />

range of order totals that will be affected, and the amount of shipping that will be<br />

charged for orders that fall within that range.<br />

4. After entering the first level of value based charges, click Add Value Based Level.<br />

The screen will reload with a new set of input levels to accommodate the next value<br />

based level. Enter the next level of shipping costs and click Add Value Based Level.<br />

Repeat this step until you have entered as many levels of shipping charges as<br />

necessary. An example of a Value Based Shipping scheme is shown below.<br />
