Shipping Settings

LearningCart can be configured to to perform real time rate lookups in order to generate accurate shipping quotes. Our system supports UPS, FedEx and Flat Rates as well as the ability to associate an additional handling charge.

Handling charges will only be applied when UPS or FedEx is selected and a weight is entered on the product.

Configuring UPS Shipping

To configure UPS shipping select the Site Settings link from the Site Content section of the left navigation menu. On the Site Settings page select the Shipping Settings to expand it. From the Shipping Method drop down select UPS. Enter the Zip Code your packages will be sent from as well as any additional handling charge (as a dollar value without a dollar sign, e.g. 4.50). Click Save to save your changes.

Once shipping settings have been added, the Shipping Weight field will display on the product page to allow entry of the appropriate weight. You must edit the applicable products and add Shipping Weight.

If your user profiles do not contain the fields for "shipping address" then the shipping weight field will not be displayed. Without shipping address fields, LearningCart cannot calculate the appropriate shipping cost based on weight. If these fields do not appear on your user profile please open a ticket with support to have them added to your site.
