Manage Shipping Charge Lists

Create a shipping charge list to calculate freight, duty, handling, and insurance charges for an item.

For example, allow your users to select 2nd day air delivery for a desktop computer at a price of $75 for each computer, or select ground transportation at a price of $25.

Here's your requirements for this example.

  • Allow your users to price shipping for the AS54888 Desktop Computer at $50 USD for Standard Delivery and $100 USD for Express Delivery.

  • Discount shipping charge by 10% if customer orders a quantity of 5 to 10 computers.

  • Discount shipping charge by 25% if customer orders a quantity of more than 10 computers.

You will create a pricing rule. For details, see Pricing Rules.

This topic uses example values. You might need different values, depending on your business requirements.
