Flat rate shipping fees

Madsen, Amanda

The Flat Rate Per Order shipping method charges the same fee for every order, regardless of the number, price, weight, or type of products in the cart. It does not perform calculations. It charges shipping as long as there are "shippable" products in the shopping cart. In most cases, you will create more than one flat rate option to give your customers a choice of price and delivery type; e.g., Standard, Priority, Overnight, International, etc.

Any Shipping Option that is free (costs $0) will not be displayed upon checkout. This will prevent your customers from placing their order if shipping is required. To offer free shipping, you will need to use Shipping Discounts.
