In X-Cart, you can configure flat rates for:
subtotal ranges (the shipping cost will depend on the order subtotal amount);
weight ranges (the shipping cost will depend on the weight of items in the order);
item ranges (the shipping cost will depend on the number of items in the order);
any combination of subtotal, weight, and item ranges (the shipping cost will depend on more than one parameter).
Let us configure a custom rules that will allow offering our customers:
$7 flat rate shipping for orders with a subtotal of up to $50 - if the order weight is up to 10 lb;
free shipping for orders with a subtotal of $50 or more - if the order weight is up to 10 lb;
$10 flat rate shipping for orders weighing over 10 lb.
The "Rate 1" needs to be "$7 flat rate shipping for orders with a subtotal of up to $50 - if the order weight is up to 10 lb". To get this rate, we need to configure the first row in the table as follows:
Subtotal range: $0.00 - $49.99
Weight range: 0 - 10 lb
flat rate: $7
Once we have configured Rate 1, let's add two more rows for the rates" Free shipping for orders with a subtotal of $50 or more - if the order weight is up to 10 lb" and "$10 flat rate shipping for orders weighing over 10 lb".
To add a new row, we will use the [+] button:
Then, we will configure the two new rows as follows:
"Free shipping for orders with a subtotal of $50 or more - if the order weight is up to 10 lb":
Subtotal range: $50 - $ ∞
Weight range: 0 - 10 lb
flat rate: $0
"$10 flat rate shipping for orders weighing over 10 lb":
Subtotal range: $0 - $ ∞
Weight range: 10 lb - ∞
flat rate: $10
We are now ready to save our table.
