Shipping

As a Default, there are 5 available shipping options: Free, Flat Rate, Price Based, Pickup In Store and Local Delivery.
To navigatte to your shipping options you will go to the Online Drop Down > Configure Checkout > Order Notices & Shipping

• Free Shipping - Set a minimum order amount and when the users cart total is equal or greater than that amount they will be offered free shipping. Select which states this offer is applicable in.

• Flat Rate - Regardless of the cart total or how many items are in the cart set a flat rate that will alway charge users the same amount for shipping

• Price Based - Use the cart total to determine the shipping price. Setup your own priced based shipping formula by using “Cart Total” + “:” + “Shipping Amount.” Use a comma to add additional values. Important note: The system will set shipping costs to $0.00 whenever the cart total is greater than the largest value specified.

• Ex. 50:10.99, 100:19.99, 1000:29.99

• This example can interpreted as: when the cart total is less than $50 than shipping will cost $10.99. When the cart total is less than $100 but greater than $50 than shipping will cost $19.99. And when the cart total is less than $1000 but greater than $100 than shipping will cost $29.99. When the cart total is greater than $1000 will charge $0.00 for shipping costs.
