# Need Assitance with configuration

 * Hi,
 * First off, a step-by-step manual for configuration of the plugin would be very
   helpful, there are a lot of settings and not nearly enough explanation.
 * In each tab “home delivery”, “parcel shop” and “paketomat” is the field “price”,
   if inserted this will probably give a single price for every weight and every
   country. But if you also insert the “max_weight | price” field, is the previos
   mentioned price ignored or are the prices from the weight/price table added to
   the “base price”?
 * How do I set up prices by weight for individual countries?
 * How do I set up free delivery for each country?
 * How do I set a different free delivery amount for “home delivery” and “paketomat”?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fneed-assitance-with-configuration%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hey there, here are the answers below:
    1. **“Price” vs. the “max_weight | price” table, added or ignored?**
 * The flat price is ignored when a weight table is present. They are NOT added 
   together.
 * The calculation runs as an if / else-if chain, so exactly one rule wins:
    1. Free shipping threshold is checked first, if the cart total qualifies, price
       = 0 (this overrides everything).
    2. Else if a weight table is filled in → the matching max_weight|price row is used
       as the entire shipping cost. The flat “Shipping Price” field is completely ignored.
    3. Else → the flat “Shipping Price” is used.
 * So:
    - Flat price only → single price for all weights/countries (as you guessed).
    - Weight table filled in → flat price is bypassed entirely. The table value 
      replaces it, it is not added on top.
 * How the weight table matches: rows are sorted ascending by weight, and the first
   row where cart_weight ≤ max_weight wins. Format is max_weight|price, e.g. 1|100
   = “up to 1 kg costs 100”. If the cart is heavier than every row, the highest/
   last row’s price is used. (Both , and . are accepted as decimal separators.)
    2. **How to set prices by weight for individual countries**
 * There is no per-country column inside a single method. Per-country pricing is
   done through WooCommerce Shipping Zones using the zone-based GLS methods, not
   the global methods:
    1. Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Shipping → Shipping Zones.
    2. Create a separate zone per country (or group of countries).
    3. Add the GLS zone-based method (Home Delivery / Parcel Shop / Parcel Locker) 
       into each zone.
    4. In each zone’s method, fill the Weight Based Rates field with that country’s
       max_weight|price lines.
 *  3. **How to set up free delivery per country**
 * Use the Free Shipping Threshold field. “Cart total above which shipping is free;
   set to 0 to disable.”
 * For per-country free delivery, again use the zone-based methods: set a different
   Free Shipping Threshold in each shipping zone’s GLS method. The threshold is 
   measured against the cart subtotal after discounts (and minus diswn tax-inclusive).
 * If you only need one global free-shipping amount, you can set it
    4. **Different free-delivery amount for “Home Delivery” vs “Paketomat”**
 * Yes, each method has its own Free Shipping Threshold field, just set it there.
 * Best,
 * Goran

 * Thanks,
 * Is there a way to limit max weight of the order for a specific country?
