Freight setting in product details
When the Free Shipping and Shipping Freights add-on is active in your X-Cart store, the product details of all products that require shipping (Requires shipping=On) include a Freight setting:
This setting can be used as follows:
Freight
| Specify a fixed shipping fee for the product (Shipping freight) |
Configuring a shipping method for freight fees
For the cases when a customer's shopping cart contains only products with a defined shipping freight and no other shipping methods are available, your store will need a shipping method selectable at checkout.
This method applies if you set the "Shipping cost for products with a defined shipping freight value should be calculated as" setting to "shipping freight only."
See Configuring the Free Shipping and Shipping Freights Add-on for details.
We provide a unique shipping method for this purpose -"Fixed rate shipping".
You can view this method as follows:
X-Cart 5.6.x
Navigate to Store > Shipping and switch to the Carriers & Special Methods tab.
Scroll down to the Special Shipping Methods section. The method named "Fixed rate shipping" will be there.
X-Cart 5.5.x
Navigate to the Shipping page (Store > Shipping).
Scroll down to the Flat Shipping Rates section. The method named "Fixed rate shipping" will be there.
Note that you can edit the name and description of the "Fixed rate shipping" method, but cannot remove or disable it.
