Hi, I'm banging my head against a wall trying to figure this out:



I sell light-weight items in small quantities, what I need is for any order with a cart total of $59.99 or less to be charged for shipping at a flat weight calculation of 6oz and any order with a cart total of $60 or more to have free shipping (regardless of weight).



The problem I'm having is that shipping is strictly calculated by weight and adding variables relating to the cart total have no effect on the calculated shipping costs. In other words, if I sell an item that weighs 1oz and costs $15 each, I can set it up so that if someone orders 1 to 3 of the items they are charged the same amount of shipping regardless, but I can't set it up so that when they add the 4th item that pushes the cart total over $60 the shipping is then completely removed. Instead, it retains the 6oz shipping calculation when the cart total goes over $60, what I need it to do is remove all shipping as soon as the cart total hits $60.



Any help????

This help page explains our shipping calculation settings in detail:

In a nutshell, you will need to add 2 shipping rules:

- One rule for your 6 oz. rate that applies to orders up to a Max. Item Total of 59.99;

- Another rule for a Flat rate per order of 0.00 that applies to orders with a Min. Item Total of 60.00.



When you go to Seller Admin > Shipping Calculation to add your shipping rules, you will need to tick the box for "Order-size requirements", which will reveal settings to define min./max. thresholds that determine when each rule applies. You can ignore the thresholds you don't need and simply enter the Max. Item Total for your first rule, and the Min. Item Total for your second rule.

Bingo! The rule including the flat rate of 0.00 with a min. total of $60 was the piece of the puzzle I was missing.



Works perfectly now, thank you so much!
