14. At the ‘Methods and Rates’ tab you can view the imported rates. You can see address, price, quantity, weight, shipping rate and
shipping type data here.
‘Rate’ column – means base rate for the order which qualifies for the specified address, product price, weight and quantity
parameters. In this case the flat rate of 12 will be applied to order shipped to Arkansas, with total product price between 33 and
880, quantity between 2 and 2000, etc.
‘PPP’ column – percent per product. In this situation shipping will be calculated as 3% of total product price.
‘FRPP’ column – flat rate per product. Flat shipping rate of 7 will be added for each product within the order.
‘FRPUW’ column – flat rate for the unit of weight (kg or lb)
‘Shipping type’ column.
All the rates you defined in ‘Rate’, ‘PPP’, ‘FRPP’ and ‘FRPUW’ columns will apply only to the products of the shipping type you
assign in ‘Shipping type’ field. This way you can create unlimited number of rates for one or several products of specific types. The
process of assignment of products to ‘shipping types’ will be described further in this user guide.

User Guide: Shipping Table Rates

15. ‘Rate’, ‘PPP’, ‘FRPP’ and ‘FRPUW’ are added to each other, so in our situation shipping will be calculated as 50 per order
plus 3 percent of total product price plus flat rate of 7 plus 0,1 for the unit of weight for each product. If we have in cart 7
products which cost 2000 and weigh 200 lb, with ‘extra large’ shipping type, the price of shipping to Arkansas will be:
151 = 50 (flat rate per order) + 60 (3% of product price) + 49 (7 per product) + 20 (0.1 for each lb of weight)
For extra large products shipped to NY shipping rate is less in our setup. Also, shipping rate differs for the goods, located
in CA storehouse when they are shipped to the other coast (NY), etc.

17. 8. Example of csv file with rates
In the csv file you can specify a value for each column of
‘Methods and Rates’ tab. You can find sample csv file within the
extension package.
If you use “*” symbol for some column, it means that the rate will
be applied to all values of this parameter. For example if you
specify “*” for zip column, the rates will be applied to order with
any zip code.

18. 9. Shipping type

group of products to make a shipping rate work only for this particular product or
group of products.

Manage attributes -> Edit Product Attribute "Shipping Type“-> Manage
Label/Options.
