Can I base the postage on the total weight of all the products in the basket?

Yes. Follow the steps below to base the postage on total basket weight.

Setting up Postage Rules based on Basket Total Weight

• Select Postage Setup from the Main Menu on the left.
• Select Create New Rule.
• Choose a Rule Name for your rule which WILL be displayed on your webstore checkout. i.e. First Class Recorded Delivery.
• Type in a Rule Description. This is purely for your own benefit and will NOT be displayed on your webstore.
• You can choose to set the postage cost explicity or as a percentage of the total order price.
  • If you choose a Set Price, you must enter it in the Rule Price box below.
  • If you choose a Percent of Order, then enter the desired percentage in the Percentage box below.
• Select your preferred units of weight - either KG (Metric) or Oz (Imperial).
• You must then set a Lower Weight and an Upper Weight for which all orders within the weight range will have this rule applied.
• Repeat this method to create multiple rules covering every possible weight range (Tip: To set the Upper Limit to unlimited, enter -1).
