A popular option for configuring shipping is to set up a shipping table based on the order total.
Let's use the following as an example:
| Order Total |
Shipping Cost |
| $0.01 - $30 | $7.00 |
| $30.01 - $80 | $10.00 |
| $80.01 - $130 | $14.00 |
| $130.01 - $300 | $20.00 |
| $300.00 and up | $25.00 |
Of course, you can set up the bands where you want them. Keep in mind that if you have the Free Mal's account, and not the Premium you are limited to only 5 bands.
To set up this shipping table, follow these instructions:
- Log into Mal's, click "Cart Setup", then "Shipping".
- Choose Option #7 and check the checkbox for price (shipping by order total)
- Then scroll down to the shipping tables.- Choose "1" from the drop down for the number of zones.
- Then enter this:
Up to: 30 Cost: 7
The Next: 50 Cost: 3 (adding $3 from the band before it)
The Next: 50 Cost: 4 (adding $4 from the band before it)
The Next: 170 Cost: 6 (adding $6 from the band before it)
The Rest (over $300) Cost: 5 (adding $5 from the band before it)
It should look like this:
"Update Shipping" and you're done!
You can also set more than one table by choosing a different number of zones from the drop down box. For example, you can create a special table for US, International, AK/HI. The customer at checkout will have to select which applies to them, and that shipping table will be applied to their order.
