Shipping Methods

of shipping charges for the company (or department). When the customer has access to multiple
companies or departments the entries of the shipping method list is defined by the selected company
or department in the Shipping Address section.
The Shipping Options page
When a shipping rates table is available, the shipping rate is calculated based on the total weight of the
items in the cart. If no rates table is specified the base fee of the shipping rate profile is used as a flat
fee for all items in the cart. In case both a base rate and a rates table are available, the base rate will
be added to the price that is calculated based on the total weight.
The actual shipping rate is shown on the Order Summary page.
