Weigt Based shipping have setting for Locations only.
you need to configure required locations separately for your needs. Please read documentation how to create and configure Locations in AbanteCart. Each location can contain one state OR some states from one country OR all states from several countries - configure it for your online business.
Ok
I made a custom Location and named it Deutschland-1
I added 3 zones to Deutschland-1
1. Nordrhein-Westfalen
2. Hamburg
3. Bayern
Then I went to Extensions => Shipping => Default Weight => Edit =>
Additional Settings => Deutschland-1
There I added following Weight Based Shipping settings: 4:8.00,7:10.00
In Catalogue => Products I gave a product a weight of 200 grams.
Question: what do I do next ?
How and where will these settings appear when a client buys a 200 gram product ?

Edit:
Ok I think I finally got it, in locations you group countries, provinces, states or areas together
and give it a location name, this can be a country name but does not have to be.
For example, Europe is not a country name but a Location.
Under the Tab Details then you get Location Name and Description for the grouped countries,
provinces, states or areas. Under the Tab Location Zones you can add states or countries.
In my case I setup 2 different Locations, Europe1 and Europe2 and added countries respectively
to them with different shipping costs that you set up in:
Extensions => Shipping => Weight Based Shipping => Edit => Additional Settings.
Example of weight based shipping setting string: (kilogram KG is set as measurement standard)
0.05:6.00,0.10:7.95,0.50:9.95,1.00:12.95,2.00:22.95,
from 0 until 50 grams 6.00 euro shipping costs
from 50 until 100 grams 7.95 euro shipping costs
from 100 until 500 grams 9.95 euro shipping costs
from 500 until 1000 grams 12.95 euro shipping costs
from 1000 until 2000 grams 22.95 euro shipping costs
You will see estimated shipping costs and final shipping costs show up
in the shopping cart when a client buys something according to the
country or state the client is residing.
