Accepting credit cards, warehouses, and shipping and fulfilling orders
Hello,
I'm trying to set up calculated shipping rates. I cannot figure out how to set it up so that when a customer buys more than one item (of the same product) the size and weight of the package adjusts accordingly.
Example
1 x product
package size = 19 x 14 x 2cm
package weight = 150g
2 x product = 19 x 14 x 4cm
package weight = 300g
I can set this up for fixed rates, but for calculated i cannot work this out, can anyone help please!
Did you ever figure this out?
Have you had to use an app?
I spoke to Shopify customer service, they told me there is no native functionality for what I need. The only way is to use an app, which requires a monthly subscription AND you have to upgrade the Shopify plan. I think Shopify have dropped the ball on this one big time. Basically without paying a crazy amount you can't use calculated shipping rates in my opinion.
It's such a simple thing to impliment:
cost to ship one product = A
Cost to ship each additional product = B
total cost = A + (XB)
It's really thrown a spanner in the works.
I spoke to support too and although the chap was very helpful, after looking at a potential solution, I discovered that it wouldn't work because I'd effectively be undercharging if the customer ordered one product or overcharging if they ordered more than one.
So, I'm still stumped.
All I want is to be able to input an "each additional item" charge so that it will add up the shipping charges at check-out (like on Etsy).
