Shipping Rules - Overview
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

Shipping rules are manually created shipping rates that will only be offered to the customer when certain conditions are met. These conditions are based on properties of the order as a whole. If more than one condition is met, Squirrelcart will only offer the rates for the rules with the highest (largest) priority number. 

 

Here is an example scenario:

 

Assume that these 3 rules have conditions that are met for an order, and all have a priority of 1:

 

- Offer free shipping for orders over $30 via USPS Priority

- Offer USPS OverNight for $15.00

- Offer FedEx Ground for $8.00

 

Assume that these 2 rules have conditions that are met for an order, and all have a priority of 2:

 

- Offer USPS Global for $25.00

- Offer FedEx International for $32.00

 

In the example, all conditions for the rules were met for this order. Squirrelcart will offer the 2 Priority 2 rules, because they have a larger priority.
