Overview

When any user-defined shipping method is used for a package, a shipping rule may be applied, which tells the software how to calculate the shipping charges. Shipping rules applied to a package option group will not be applied to the base package, only the group.


An example of a user-defined shipping method and shipping rule at the "finalize checkout" stage

Use this section to view, remove, add, activate, or deactivate custom shipping rules for a package. Shipping rules may be set up for user-defined "custom" shipping methods only. Shipping rules for the package are based on the main package item, and once a shipping rule is applied, any global shipping rules will be deactivated for the package. View, remove, add, activate, or deactivate option group specific shipping rules.

This feature will only be available for package option groups that contain items which have the "Use all shipping methods" option selected.
