Once you have logged in please click on the ‘Shipping’ tab.

From the shipping screen click the icon labeled ‘Add New Shipping Method’ to open the Shipping Wizard. The first screen has three sections, as described below.

The shipping method name field is used to create a name for your shipping method. This name will be displayed to customers when the shipping method is available for them to select, so you may want to make it fairly descriptive.

The Tracking URL field. If you will be shipping by a method that will provide tracking numbers, you may want to list that URL in the Tracking URL field as the URL will be included in the shipment confirmation email that can be sent to the customer when the order is marked as shipped.

The options in the Pricing section decide how the cost of your shipping method will be calculated and has three options.

• Free- Will create a shipping method with a base price of ’0.00′. Will show ‘Free’ in the price column at checkout.
• Fixed- Allow you to specify a static flat-fee.
• Price based on delivery country, weight, or order total- Opens more advanced pricing schemes. As the name suggests it can be used to charge a higher shipping fee based on the country the product will be shipped to, how much the products ordered weigh and/or the amount of the order total.

The Countries section is used to specify what countries your shipping method applies to. If you will be using this method to ship internationally select ‘all trusted countries’. If you are only shipping within your home country select ‘home country only’, otherwise you can select ‘custom list’ to select specific countries that your shipping method will be used for.

If you selected a pricing option other then free then you will be presented with the Surcharge Options page. Enter a base price for your shipping method to use. If you selected fixed for your pricing scheme, this will be the flat-rate that is used to calculate shipping, otherwise you will have a chance to add additional surcharges on the next screen. Your base price can be 0.00 but cannot be a negative value.

If you selected price based on delivery country, weight, or order total for pricing then you will also see a Countries section that can be used to further customize the pricing for your method. Select whether you want to customize your shipping method by country, weight, order total or any combination thereof.

The Custom Country List section serves two purposes. It allows you select the applicable countries for your shipping method if you selected the Custom List option and will allow you set country-specific surcharges if you selected price based on delivery country, weight, or order total. You can add countries to your method using the list at the top of the page or remove countries using the list at the bottom. Use the surcharge amount field to enter your desired surcharges for each country if you selected that option earlier in the process, otherwise the field will not be displayed.

The Set Overweight Charge / Add A Weight Surcharge page will be displayed if you chose to add shipping surcharges based on the total weight of the order. The set overweight charge field can be used to specify how much will be added per pound if the order weight goes over your maximum weight division. To create a weight division use the weight max field and specify an amount to be charged if the order weight is under or equal to your weight setting (but above any weight divisions below it). For example, if you create a surcharge for 2 lbs at 2.00 and 4 lbs at 6.00 and the order weighs 1 lb the shipping surcharge will be 2.00 plus your base price. If the order weight is 3 lbs, the surcharge will be 6.00 plus your base price. Another way to think of this process it that the weight of the order is rounded up until it finds the nearest weight max. One thing to keep in mind is that although the weight measurement used throughout the admin area (and, therefor, also in this tutorial) is pounds (lbs), our system doesn’t know the difference between this and any other measurement (ie. ounces or kilograms). Feel free to use your preferred weight measurements so long as you use them globally for your account.

The Add An Order Total Surcharge page is used to specify a total price and how much the surcharge should be if the order total is equal to or below it. This feature works similar to the weight based method in that the order total will be rounded up until the next division is found.

The Confirmation page will give you a quick overview of the options you have selected for your shipping method. Click the ‘Save’ button to complete the shipping wizard or ‘Back’ to return to a previous page and make additional changes.

When you set up your products in our database, you have the option of indicating whether they are tangible (a physical product that will be shipped or otherwise delivered offline) or intangible (a good that will be delivered by download or electronically). If your product(s) are set up as intangible, shipping charges will not be applied because the system thinks that your products won’t be shipped. To check if your products are setup as intangible, please login to the sellers area at the following URL: https://www.2checkout.com/va/

Once you have logged in, please click on the Products tab and then click on the Edit icon listed under the actions column for the product you wish to check. This will open the Edit Product page where you can check whether Yes or No is selected under the Tangible field. If No is selected, please change the selection to Yes and then click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

Now that you have setup the product as tangible you must make sure that you have a shipping method created in your account. If you have not setup any shipping methods and a customer attempts to order a product defined as tangible in our system, they will receive the following error message:

No shipping available to your country

To check whether or not you have shipping methods setup, please login to the sellers area at the following URL: https://www.2checkout.com/va/

Once you have logged in click the Shipping tab and then select the List subcategory. If no shipping methods are listed click the Add New Shipping Method link to rectify this problem. Instructions on creating shipping methods in our new sellers area can be found in the Related Articles section at the bottom of the article.

If you are using a third party shopping cart, the 2CO software does not compute shipping. This function is handled by your shopping cart software. Please check the configuration of your cart to ensure that this is set up correctly.
