8. Optionally, enter a dollar amount in the Minimum Price to charge this amount at minimum. If the calculated shipping costs by weight, size and/or price are less than this amount, then this minimum amount will be charged.
9. Optionally, enter a dollar amount in the By Weight Price to charge shipping fees by weight of the item.
   • The Product Weight Multiple can be calculated in any weight measurement (ounces, pounds, grams, kilograms, factor, etc). However, you must use the same weight measurement consistently across all products and all shipping methods.
   • The Product Weight Multiple can also be calculated in factors. For example: Assign a "1" to items weighing 30 grams or less. Assign a "2" to items weighing between 30 - 60 grams. Assign a "3" to items weighing more than 60 grams.
   • To calculate this component of the shipping fee, this amount will be multiplied by the Product Weight Multiple, as well as, by the quantity of this item included in the order.
   • For example, if the cost of shipping an item is $0.50 per ounce, enter $0.50 in the By Weight Price, and seperately enter the weight of the item in ounces in the Product Setupsuch as 8 oz). When a customer purchases 2 of these items, the shipping fee will be calculated as follows:

     [$0.50 x 8 oz x 2 items purchased = $8.00] + the Base Price entered above + any additional shipping fees by size or by price.

   • If this amount is less than the Minimum Price specified above, then the minimum amount will be charged.
10. Optionally, enter a dollar amount in the By Size Price to charge shipping fees by the size of the item.
    • The Product Size Multiple can be calculated in any size or volume measurement (inches, centimeters, fluid ounces, liters, factor, etc). However, you must use the same size measurement consistently across all products and all shipping methods.
    • The Product Size Multiple can also be calculated in factors. For example, assign a "1" to items with a size of 10 x 10 x 10 inches or less. Assign a "2" to items between 20 x 10 x 10 to 30 x 10 x 10 inches. Assign a "3" to items with a size of more than 30 x 10 x 10 inches.
    • To calculate this component of the shipping fee, this amount will be multiplied by the Product Size Multiple, as well as, by the quantity of this item included in the order.
    • For example, if the cost of shipping an item is $0.25 per cubic centimeter, enter $0.25 in the By Size Price, and seperately enter the dimensions of the item in cubic centimeters in the Product Setup(such as 10 cubic centimeters). When a customer purchases 3 of these items, the shipping fee will be calculated as follows:

      [$0.25 x 10 cubic centimeters x 3 items purchased = $8.00] + the Base Price entered above + any additional shipping fees by weight or by price.

    • If this amount is less than the Minimum Price specified above, then the minimum amount will be charged.
11. Optionally, enter a dollar amount in the By Price Price to charge shipping fees by the price of the item.
    • To calculate this component of the shipping fee, this amount will be multiplied by the Product Price Multiple, as well as, by the quantity of this item included in the order.
    • For example, if the cost of shipping an item is 8% of the $20.00 value of the item, enter $0.08 in the By Price Price, and seperately enter "1" in the Product Setup. When a customer purchases 5 of these items, the shipping fee will be calculated as follows:

      [$0.08 x 1 factor x 5 items purchased x $20.00 item price = $8.00] + the Base Price entered above + any additional shipping fees by size or by weight.

    • If this amount is less than the Minimum Price specified above, then the minimum amount will be charged.
12. Optionally, enter a dollar amount in the By Flat Rate Price to charge a flat shipping fee for the package size chosen.
    • To calculate this component of the shipping fee, this amount will be added as a flat rate to the shipping fees.
    • For example, if the cost of shipping an item is $5 for quantities of 1-9 units; and $10 for quantities of 10+ units, enter $1.00 in the Flat Rate Price, and seperately enter "5" in the Flat Rate Multiple section of Product Setup for quantities 1-9 and enter a "10" in the Flat Rate Multiple section of Product Setupfor quantities 10+. When a customer purchases 5 of these items, the shipping fee will be calculated as follows:

      [$1.00 x 5 factor = $5.00] + the Base Price entered above + any additional shipping fees by size or by weight.

    • If this amount is less than the Minimum Price specified above, then the minimum amount will be charged.
