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 the package will not be applied to any package option groups or package options.

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.
