From admin go to Configuration => Shipping/Packaging
The options here will affect the shipping charges applied in checkout depending on your own business model and the charges set by your shipping provider presuming your shipping charges are based on weight (charging by weight is also optional
Click on any item in the list and click Edit to change the value.
- Country of Origin - change to your country.
- Postal Code - change to your postal code if applicable.
- Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship - the number is a weight unit, whatever you choose to use throughout the shop. This option is set as required or set a high value if not required e.g. 100000.
- Package Tare Weight - this weight unit will be added to the weight of the products when calculating the shipping charge - set as required or set to 0 if not required.
- Larger packages - percentage increase - this will increase the shipping charge for order weights over Maximum Package Weight - set as required or set as 0 if not required.
Using the default values to give an example of how this works: Maximum Package Weight = 50 and Package Tare Weight = 3.
If the weight of products in order = 10, then shipping will be charged for product weight(10) + tare weight(3) = 13
- Allow Orders Not Matching Defined Shipping Zones - change to true if required.
