  • Disable by setting to False if required or click on the item in the list and click Remove Module to remove/uninstall it if required.
  • Change the value for Shipping Cost as required.
  • Choose your Tax Class from the drop down list below Tax Class to charge your Tax Rate on the shipping cost otherwise leave as --none--
  • Apply this shipping module to a specific Tax Zone by choosing it in the drop down menu below Shipping Zone or leave as --none-- to apply the shipping cost to all Tax Zones.
  • Enter a Sort Order value. Do not leave 0 as the Sort Order on modules as it can cause problems. You can give it any number, in this case enter 10 so if you decide to install another module it leaves the option of entering a lesser value for the next if required.
