Using E-junkie Cart Shipping Calculation

Enable Shipping Calculation/Buyer's Address for your product(s):

When adding or editing a product in Seller Admin:

1. Enable Shipping/Buyer's Address to trigger collection of a street address during checkout and (if configured) apply your shipping charges, when this product is added to a buyer's cart order.
2. Click Submit or Next to reach the Shipping Options screen:

   Weight

   This should normally be the weight of each unit of the product, including any packing/padding material that would normally accompany it. If you are enabling Shipping to obtain a Buyer's Address without adding shipping charges, set product Weight to 0.00.

   Packaging Type

   Select which type of container the product will be shipped in.

   Packaging Capacity

   State how many units of this product will fit in the selected Packaging Type.

   Different products configured to ship in the same Packaging Type will share any unoccupied Capacity in the same container (e.g., if Product A and B both ship in a Regular Box with Capacity of 2, then an order for 1 unit each of A and B would ship together in just 1 Regular Box).

   Tubes can also consolidate different product units from smaller Tubes into larger Tubes (e.g., if Product A ships in a Small Tube, and Product B ships in a Large Tube with a Capacity of 2, then an order for 1 unit each of A and B would ship together in just 1 Large Tube, as 1 unit of A can occupy the vacancy in B's Large Tube).

3. Click Next until you can click Submit to save settings;
4. If you haven't already, copy the product's Add to Cart button codes to paste into your product page (E-junkie Shipping settings will not work with Buy Now buttons nor with PayPal Cart buttons).

Configure Shipping Calculation for your cart:

Go to Seller Admin > Cart Shipping Settings:

Shipping Origin

Select your country, and US Merchants will also need to enter a ZIP code.

Shipping Destinations

If you will ship to any country worldwide, leave this alone (no countries selected = will ship to all countries); otherwise, select specific countries you will ship to (to select more than one destination country, hold down Ctrl on a PC or Command on a Mac while clicking countries).

Weight Unit Preference

Select Ounces or Grams (and remember to specify all other Weight settings on this basis!).

Handling

This is added just once to the total Shipping amount calculated for each order, can be a flat surcharge amount or a percentage boost (e.g., 10% Handling would multiply the calculated Shipping amount by a factor of 1.10 to arrive at the final Shipping charges applied to the order).

Define Packaging

Here you would define the Cost and Weight of various containers:

Weight

Normally the empty weight of the container itself, including any general packing/padding materials that would normally go inside/around it (not counting any packing/padding that is used for each product unit, which should be included in that product's Weight).

Cost

Can be a charge to pay for the empty container itself, or you can use this to define flat-rate shipping according to package type.

Packaging Types (Large Box, Small Envelope, etc.)

Note these are just arbitrary names and do not affect how rates are determined or what type of packaging you're actually using -- i.e., the mere fact that a product ships in an "Envelope" rather than a "Box" does not affect the rate obtained (assuming all other factors/settings are equal), as we always query USPS/UPS for a generic Package rate (rather than any Envelope/Oversize/Freight/etc. rates).

Click Next to save settings and proceed to the Shipping Rules screen:

Existing Shipping Rules

This menu shows Shipping Rules you have already defined (if any). You can select a Rule and click Delete to remove it.

Create New Shipping Rule

Select a Shipping Method for this new Rule:

• USPS - Cheapest Available (excluding Media Mail, Parcel Post): Queries USPS.com for the First Class and Priority Mail rates and applies whichever is cheaper;
• USPS Priority: Queries USPS.com for the Priority Mail rate;
• USPS Express: Queries USPS.com for the Express Mail rate;
• USPS Media Mail: Queries USPS.com for the Media Mail rate;
• USPS Parcel Post: Queries USPS.com for the Parcel Post rate;
• UPS Ground: Queries UPS.com for the UPS Ground rate;
• Price per unit weight: Lets you set a custom per-ounce/-gram weight (see Weight Unit Preference above);
• Price per unit: Lets you set a custom flat rate per item ordered;
• Percentage of order total of shippable items: Shipping will be a percentage of the price total for all items with Shipping enabled in a buyer's order;
• Flat: Lets you set a single flat Shipping charge;
• Pickup: Lets you offer buyer a no-ship-no-charge option for local "will call" pickup orders.

Specify conditions in which the above Method will be made available:

Leave this as-is to offer the chosen Method to all buyers for all orders, or select conditions and thresholds that will enable/disable the chosen Method. Orders which match the conditions for more than one Rule will show buyers a choice of Shipping Methods and costs in the cart before checkout.

Click SUBMIT to save a new Rule, which will then be added to your Existing Shipping Rules menu above.
