Default Shipping Product
You can set up a shipping product that will be the default shipping product used when ordering inventory via Centralized Order Entry or the online shopping cart. This is set up on the inventory profile under the miscellaneous tab. The shipping region child form enables you to specify what shipping carrier you will use to distribute this product upon purchase for each shipping region. If you add multiple shipping products per region, all of them will be applied to the Invoice Detail. The shipping product specified in this child form will be applied to each item ordered. If the customer orders one unit of merchandise, they are charged shipping once; if they order six units of your product, they will be charged six shipping products.
Setup
Use the following steps to set up a default shipping product:
- Set up shipping product.
- Set up shipping region (Shipping Setup).
- Add the shipping regions to the Address Setup in the country set up.
- Add your publication or merchandise.
- Add the default shipping product to the merchandise.
- Go to the product profile.
- From the product profile, go to the miscellaneous tab.
- Select the add (+) button to add the shipping product. Different shipping products can be set up for each region.
You will now have a default shipping product for the shipping region.
Additional Setup Information
If you have a shipping method selected in this child form, it will be applied automatically during checkout online. If you do not want your customer to have to select a second shipping method set the system option ShoppingCartShippingPage to false. Then when a customer is ordering via eweb the shipping will be calculated based on the shipping method that you have specified for that product.
Note: If you have any shippable products that do not have the shipping specified in the child from, then they will not be charged for shipping when ordering via eweb.
