Shipping Rates
This can be done in the Catalog Manager, Catalog > Stores >> Shipping. The following entities are used:
- ShipmentMethod – set up types of shipping available (ie, Ground, Air, Next Day)
- CarrierShipmentMethod – associate a carrier with the various shipping methods. The carrier must be a Party with a PartyRole of CARRIER.
- ProductStoreShipmentMeth – defines the shipment methods for a ProductStore and which carrier would be used to provide the shipment. It also will allow you to set parameters for including or excluding geoIds, whether USPS address (PO Box or RR) are required or not, and special product features such as HAZMAT or over-size are allowed or not. If you want to use a service to get shipping estimates, you can define the service in serviceName and in configProps fields.
- ShipmentCostEstimate – used to define shipping cost estimates for the carriers.
You can add a surcharge for COD payments by setting ProductStoreShipmentMeth.codSurcharge. This is a surcharge for your customers and is different than the surcharge you instruct the carrier to collect from the customer, which is configured in UPS COD surcharge.
If you want to get the actual carrier’s rate estimate rather than rely on a table, then follow the instructions for setting up shipping keys.
