adding address admin appreciate appropriate books buyer cart charged checked click customers delete disabled edit giving goods grateful item list matter menu next options order orders pdf product products purchase rate repeat require rules saved screen select sell seller settings shipping size submit thank-you view

Trying to set up the shipping rules for my cart is giving me fits. I would sure be grateful for some assistance.

I sell 2 different kinds of products. PDF's, which require no shipping, and printed books, which do.

For the books only, I will be shipping from the US, via flat rate USPS Priority mail. I need to set up 2 different flat rates: a $5 flat shipping rate for US orders and a $14 flat rate for orders from all other countries.

How do I set up my shipping rules so that customers who purchase printed books are charged the appropriate flat shipping rate for their country, but people who only purchase PDF's aren't charged for shipping?

I've read everything I could find in searches but am still confused about how the rules should be set up.

For the PDF, just leave Shipping/Buyer's Address disabled in the settings of that product.

Go to Seller Admin>View/Edit/Delete Products:
# Select an existing shippable product of yours and click Edit;
# On the first screen, if Shipping/Buyer's Address is not checked there, tick that box;
# Click Next until you can Submit to save settings (Shipping Options will not matter);
# Repeat this for all your tangible goods;
# When adding new shippable products, remember to enable Shipping/Buyer's Address.

Go to Seller Admin > Cart Shipping Settings and set up the following:
# Shipping Origin: select United States and enter your zipcode;
# Shipping Destinations: if you will only ship to certain countries, select them in the list, or otherwise select nothing for Worldwide shipping;
# Leave all other settings blank or 0.00;
# Click Next to save settings and proceed to the Shipping Rules screen.

In the Existing Shipping Rules menu, select and Delete any Rules you may have saved there.

Set up your first Shipping Rule for Domestic shipping:
# Shipping Rate Calculator:
- Flat (if this will be a flat rate per entire order, regardless of order size), or
- Price per unit (if this will be a flat rate per item).
# Shipping Amount: 5.00;
# Country: United States;
# Click Submit to save the Rule.

If you will ship Internationally at a different rate:
# Shipping Rate Calculator:
- Flat (if this will be a flat rate per entire order, regardless of order size), or
- Price per unit (if this will be a flat rate per item).
# Shipping Amount: 14.00;
# Country: All Countries (i.e. the rest of your Shipping Destination countries);
# Click Submit to save the Rule.

Click Back to Admin, and you're done!

Oh wow...thank you SO much! I truly appreciate your sharing your time and expertise.
