Shipping question #2

Hi,

My boss and I are trying all types of shipping options, but we aren't getting the correct combination apparently to get it to work the way we need it to. What we really want is a base shipping of $9.99, and then 3 percent of each product on top of that. It seems like whatever we try, it doesn't work, any suggestions?

Hi there Chris,

There is no way to add Percentage based shipping within the application unfortunately. I know this feature has been requested in the past. Hopefully it will show up in future release of there application.

Here's a workaround.

1. Increase your product prices by 3%.
2. In the shipping section, put in a flat rate of $9.99.
3. Advertise "Flat Rate Shipping no matter how much you order!"

It could turn out to drive extra sales for you.

I know you can't do a percentage, but you "can" do a set amount per each added item. Not quite the same I know, but it's closer to what you're after than a straight flat rate for all. Just come up with a decent extra amount to be sure you're getting enough without gouging your customers and it should work fine. Otherwise you might be better off going with weight based shipping instead which you have much more control with. :)
