Shipping Options Issue
-
Hi –
I have a few questions around shipping. So I have set up a shipping zone for the U.S., and within that zone I have set up a Flat Rate shipping method – $5 for every order. However, I have a particular product that I would like to charge a different shipping charge; it’s a pretty small item so I don’t want to charge people $5 for shipping it. I’d like to charge $2.50. I’ve tried to create a shipping class for this and have assigned the product to this shipping class, but am seeing that the shipping charge comes out to the $2.50 plus the $5 flat rate – so $7.50. Is there a way I can charge $5 for all orders, but charge only $2.50 for a specific product ONLY IF A CUSTOMER JUST ORDERS THAT PRODUCT?
So if a customer orders Product A, they get charged the flat rate of 5$; if they order Product A and B (and B happens to be the small item), they get charged $5; if they ONLY order Product B, they get charged $2.50 rather than the flat rate of $5.
Is this possible?

Hi @jcostas81,
With Flat Rate I believe you’ll want to remove the base cost and only use shipping classes to setup rates.

You could make this simpler as well and just set the base cost to $2.50 and then use one shipping class for all your normal products. That class charges another $2.50. That way if they order normal products they’d get a $5 total charge, then if they order the small item it’s only $2.50. Doing it that way just uses one class instead of two.
Just to be sure to set the last option, Calculation type, appropriately as well for your store.
