User Guide: Shipping Table Rates

1. Enabling the extensionCopyright © 2012 amasty.com
You can make shipping available
both for all countries and for
specific ones only. From the list of
countries please choose those, for
which you would like to create
shipping methods with the module.
To make the module work
go to Admin panel ->
System -> Configuration ->
‘Sales’ tab -> Shipping
methods.
Set this option to ‘Yes’
to enable the module.
Put to ‘Yes’ if to exclude free
shipping items from the
shipping methods created
with the module.

Set numeric zip to ‘yes’ to
use the intervals. For
example, if you set up zip
code interval from 12346 to
12349, the rate will apply to
the adresses, which include
any zip code from the
interval (12346, 12347,
12348, 12349).
When you set this option to ‘Yes’,
price and quantity of virtual products
won’t be considered for calculation of
shipping rates for orders.
You can indicate that a shipping
rate should apply to price of the
product after discount. Let's say a
product costs $100. If after the
discount it becomes $70, shipping
rate for 70-dollarproducts will
apply to it.
1. Enabling the extension

To create shipping methods please
go to admin panel -> Sales ->
Shipping Table Rates
2. Where to create custom shipping methodsCopyright © 2012 amasty.com
To add a method
please click ‘Add
Method’ button.

At the ‘General’ tab you can activate the
method, specify its name and priority.
With the help of priority you can manage
the order in which methods are displayed
at the Shipping Methods step of checkout.
3. General method informationCopyright © 2012 amasty.com

4. Select store view and customer groupsCopyright © 2012 amasty.com
At the ‘Stores & Customer Groups’
tab you can choose at which store
view and for which customer groups
the method should be available.

5. Import CSV file with shipping ratesCopyright © 2012 amasty.com
At the ‘Import’ tab you can import csv file with the rates
information. You can find sample csv file at the specified
url and within the extension package. Please see the next
pages for explanation on csv structure.
If you set ‘Delete Existing Rates’ option to ‘Yes’, all rates
previously imported for this method, will be deleted.

At the ‘Methods and Rates’ tab you can view the imported rates. You can see address, price, quantity, weight, shipping rate and
shipping type data here.
‘Rate’ column – means base rate for the order which qualifies for the specified address, product price, weight and quantity
parameters. In this case the flat rate of 12 will be applied to order shipped to Arkansas, with total product price between 33 and
880, quantity between 2 and 2000, etc.
‘PPP’ column – percent per price. In this situation shipping will be calculated as 3% of total product price.
‘FRPP’ column – flat rate per product. Flat shipping rate of 7 will be added for each product within the order.
‘FRPUW’ column – flat rate for the unit of weight (kg or lb)
‘Shipping type’ column.
All the rates you defined in ‘Rate’, ‘PPP’,‘FRPP’ and ‘FRPUW’ columns will apply only to the products of the shipping type you
assign in ‘Shipping type’ field. This way you can create unlimited number of rates for one or several products of specific types. The
process of assignment of products to ‘shipping types’ will be described further in this user guide.
6. View imported rates

‘Rate’, ‘PPP’, ‘FRPP’ and ‘FRPUW’ are added to each other, so in our situation shipping will be calculated as 50 per order
plus 3 percent of total product price plus flat rate of 7 plus 0,1 for the unit of weight for each product. If we have in cart 3
products which cost 2000 and weigh 200 lb, with ‘extra large’ shipping type, the price of shipping to Arkansas will be:
151 = 50 (flat rate per order) + 60 (3% of product price) + 21 (7 per product) + 20 (0.1 for each lb of weight)
For extra large products shipped to NY shipping rate is less in our setup. Also, shipping rate differs for the goods, located
in CA storehouse when they are shipped to the other coast (NY), etc.

7. Edit existing rates and add new onesCopyright © 2012 amasty.com
To edit a rate, please
click on the record.
To add a new rate
record, please click
‘Add New Rate’ button.

8. Example of csv file with ratesCopyright © 2012 amasty.com
In the csv file please specify a value for each column of ‘Methods
and Rates’ tab. You can find sample csv file within the extension
package or at http://amasty.com/examples/tablerates.csv
If you use “*” symbol for some column, it means that the rate will
be applied to all values of this parameter. For example if you
specify “*” for zip column, the rates will be applied to order with
any zip code.

9. Shipping typeCopyright © 2012 amasty.com
As it was described before, you can use ‘shipping type’ attribute for a product or a
group of products to make a shipping rate work only for this particular product or
group of products.
To create the options for ‘shipping type’ attribute please go Catalog -> Attributes ->
Manage attributes -> Edit Product Attribute "Shipping Type“-> Manage
Label/Options.
Create the options
you will use for the
shipping rates.

9. Shipping typeCopyright © 2012 amasty.com
After you’vecreated the necessary options, they are availablefor
assignment to any product from your product list. Go to Catalog ->
Manage Products and choose a product.
You can assign any value of the
attribute to the product. Then once
you create a shipping rate for this
shipping type, the rate will apply only
to the products with the shipping type.

10. ExampleCopyright © 2012 amasty.com
Shipping type for the refrigerator is ‘extra
large’. It is shipped to Arkansas. According to
our rates table, the shipping costs $141.20 for
‘extra large’ item of this weight and price.
