  • Handling Fee — Additional fee. Can be a fixed amount (2.50) or leave blank for no handling fee.

Calculation Type — Tells plugin how to calculate shipping on customer’s cart. Choices are:

  • Per order – calculates shipping for the entire cart. If there are varying shipping classes in the customer’s cart, the class with the highest priority will be used. These can be set in the table that appears underneath the rate table when per order is selected.
  • Calculated rates per item – calculates the rate by checking each item in the customer’s basket against the table of rates.
  • Calculated rates per line – looks at each line in the basket and checks that against the table. Multiple of the same item are on the same line, so the customer will only be charged once for multiples of the same item.
  • Calculated rates per shipping class – each shipping class in your basket is totaled and offered at a final rate.
