Shipping Classes 

Shipping classes won’t apply unless the vendor specifies from Edit Product.

Shipping classes can be used to group products of similar type to provide different rates to different classes of product. It must be added after configuring shipping zones, and then added to a shipping method, like Flat Rate.

The vendor can specify shipping class costs for all the shipping classes that are available. Vendors will be able to access these classes for the Flat Rate method only.

The vendor can specify his own conditional rates for the shipping classes.

 

 

Then select the cost when no shipping class will apply.

You can also select the Calculation Type:

• Per Class: Shipping rates will apply accordingly class-wise.
• Per Order: Shipping rates will apply on the total order cost, and the most expensive shipping class rate will apply.

Configuring Product-wise shipping class

1. Navigate to Store→Vendor Dashboard→Products.
2. Select the product you want to add shipping class to by hovering on the product name and click on Edit.
3. Scroll down to the section that reads Shipping and Tax.

 

 

4. First enable the checkbox “This Product Requires Shipping”.
5. Next, input the details as required for weight, length, width and height.
6. Now select the shipping class you want to apply to this product from the drop-down.
7. Select Tax Status and Tax Class.
8. Click on Save Product.

     Note: Each product can have only one shipping class.

 

The rule is if the Flat Rate and Shipping Class rate both are defined, then both will apply when the customer is checking out.

For example, if you have set Flat Rate at Rs10, and Normal Items Shipping Class Cost at Rs10*[qty], then your shipping cost will be Rs10+Rs10*[1] = Rs20.

Note: You must set the shipping class for this particular product from Vendor Dashboard→Products→Edit→Shipping and Tax so it works.
