Title: Setting up flat rate
Post by: matencio on June 22, 2017, 11:49:51 AM

I can't figure out how to set up the flat rate shipping.

I sell coffee and it's $5.00 for up to five pounds
$10.00 for up to 10 pounds and
$15.00 there after
How the heck do I set this up? with multiple rates?
I can't launch until I get this so a walk through would really help. Thanks

You can check weight based shipping

You can set the range for the weight and set fixed shipping cost.

Should it look like this? 1:5.00,2:5.00,3:5.00,4:5.00,5:5.00,6:10,7:10,8:10.00,9:10.00,10:10.00,11:15.00,12:15.00,13:15.00,14:15.00,15:15.00,
It seems to be working but wasn't sure I was supposed to add the weight:cost also. I didn't add it and it's working
Thanks

The guide is confusing. Here's the simple explanation:  For future reference of new people like me: 1:5.00,2:5.00,3:5.00,4:5.00,5:5.00  means: 1 pound = $5.00 written like: 1:5.00.... 5:5.00  is 5 pounds = $5.00   6:10.00 = 6 pounds = $10.00 shipping fee.
