Shipping Charges
Shipping costs are calculated based on the total weight of the items in the Checkout. For this the
administrator can define a unit weight per template and needs to setup Shipping Charge Profiles.
Shipping charge calculation can be enabled per company and multiple shipping charge profiles can be
assigned to that company.
With the introduction of PSW 2.2 customers can add one or multiple documents to a shipping basket or
checkout. The documents in the checkout will be part of the same order. In previous versions of PSW
each order had one document. By grouping documents into a single order, the ordering process is
shortened as the customer has to state shipping and billing only once. Shipping charges are calculated
based on the total weight of the orders in the checkout, resulting in a more accurate price calculation.
In the ordering process the customer will be able to select the desired shipping method (if available).
Shipping Charge Profiles
Shipping Charge Profiles can be defined for specific shipping methods/carriers and for different levels
of shipping services. Shipping profiles are assigned to companies allowing the end user to select one
of the profiles available for that customer in the ordering process (Checkout).
The Shipping Charge Profiles overview
Shipping profiles allow the administrator to define an initial parcel weight cost and a weights rate table.
If no rates table is defined the initial parcel weight cost will be charged as the shipping costs (flat fee)
otherwise the costs are calculated based on the approximate weight of the ordered document(s) and
the initial parcel weight cost is added (if defined). When using the rates table a weight per unit needs to
be defined per template.
