Meanings of 4 Add-on Shipping Fee Setting Methods
When Creator needs to charge shipping fee for KS add-on or Backers purchase additional PB add-on during Survey, PledgeBox allows you to charge shipping fees according to the following four methods. (Methods 1 and 2 can be used in combination.)
Based on Item
Based on SKU weight
Based on Total Amount
Based on Package Weight
Tips
Please refer to How to set up shipping fees for Add-ons? to set up add-ons shipping prices.
Backers will pay for shipping fees based on the quantity of Add-on items they purchase. You can set the Shipping Countries/Regions, backers outside the selected countries/regions won't be able to buy the Add-ons.
Example:
Shipping fees setting such as:
Assume a backer orders two products
PledgeBox calculates the total shipping fees as follows:
USA: $25.00 x 2 items = $50.00;
UK: $30.00 x 2 items = $60.00;
Other Countries: $40 x 2 items = $80.00.
PS: DELETE EVERYWHERE ELSE when you only ship to backers from the USA and UK.
Before you can use this method, please set the product weight for each add-on you want to sell. The backer will pay for shipping based on the total weight of the add-on products.
Example:
Create weight band for a product weighing 10 kg, such as:
Assume a backer orders two products.
PledgeBox calculates the total shipping fees as follows:
US: 10kg x 2 items = 20kg = $45.00;
UK: 10kg x 2 items = 20kg = $45.00;
Other Countries: 10kg x 2 items = 20kg = $50.00.
PS: DELETE EVERYWHERE ELSE when you only ship to backers from the US and UK.
The system will calculate the shipping fee based on the country you select and the amount band you set. Unlike the previous setting, please go to Tools -> Survey Setting to use this method.
Example: A Backer from the US with an order totaling USD $200 will pay USD $20 for shipping.
Method 3 will also be applied directly to the reward shipping calculation.
The system will automatically calculate the total weight of all products in each order based on the country you select and the weight band/weight range you set to charge for shipping.
Freely choose the weight unit.
Set the weight band.
When you click save, the system will check whether all products have weight.
If not, you can quickly set/update the product weight in batches.
Example: A backer from Europe whose order weighs 20kg will be charged USD$20 for shipping.
Method 4 will also be applied directly to the reward shipping calculation.
Batch Update: Quickly modify countries price information in batch;
Copy Shipping Fees: You can copy the shipping fees from another product and reward;
Add Everywhere Else: Add shipping fees to other countries other than your selected countries;
Quickly Update: Quickly modify product essential information like weight in batch.
