The shipping type “Shipping Grouping” groups or combines multiple flat rate shipping methodsand can become a very powerful tool. Examples that can be achieved with this shipping method:
| Setting | Default setting | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Shipping types | - | All other shipping methods are listed here. Here you can determine from which shipping types you want to make a grouping. Furthermore you can sort them, which can have an influence on "group calculation".
You can therefore also group shipping types and thus configure arbitrarily complex and powerful shipping types. |
| Setting | Default setting | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Group calculation | Price of first available method | Here you can determine the price calculation method.
|
The prerequisite for this is that you record the weight of each of your products. In the shipping types, you first create a separate entry of the type flat-rate shipping for each parcel size:
To group the corresponding shipping types for the calculation, use a shipping group method. Here you add all previously created shipping methods and select “Price of the first available method” in “Group calculation”.
Now add this shipping group in the checkout module. This will calculate the shipping costs based on the weight. Currently, the problem would be that a shopping cart weighing more than 10 kg would not have a shipping method and thus could not be shipped.
