6.4 Shipping Rates
Shipping costs are calculated based on the total weight of the items in the Checkout. For this the
administrator can define a unit weight per template and needs to setup Shipping Rate Profiles. Shipping
charge calculation can be enabled per company and multiple shipping rate profiles can be assigned to that
company.
In PrintShop Mail Web customers can add one or multiple documents to a shipping basket or checkout. The
documents in the checkout will be part of the same order. In previous versions of PrintShop Mail Web each
order had one document. By grouping documents into a single order, the ordering process is shortened as the
customer has to state shipping and billing only once. Shipping charges are calculated based on the total
weight of the orders in the checkout, resulting in a more accurate price calculation. In the ordering process
the customer will be able to select the desired shipping method (if available).
Shipping Rate Profiles
Shipping Rate Profiles can be defined for specific shipping methods/carriers and for different levels of shipping
services. Shipping rate profiles are assigned to companies allowing the end user to select one of the profiles
available for that customer in the ordering process (Checkout).
The Shipping Rate Profiles overview
Shipping rate profiles allow the administrator to define an initial parcel weight cost and a weights rate table. If
no rates table is defined the initial parcel weight cost will be charged as the shipping costs (flat fee) otherwise
the costs are calculated based on the approximate weight of the ordered document(s) and the initial parcel
weight cost is added (if defined). When using the rates table a weight per unit needs to be defined per
template.
