Meanings of 4 Add-on Shipping Fee Setting Methods

PledgeBox supports add-on shipping by item, SKU weight, order amount or package weight. Choose the scope first: product-level shipping or order-level shipping.

1. Based on Item

Configure this in Products → PledgeBox Add-on Setting → Add-on Shipping Fees. The charge depends on the item quantity and destination.

Example: a configured rate of $5 per item gives 2 × $5 = $10 for two items. This is an example, not a default rate.

2. Based on SKU Weight

Configure this in the same add-on shipping section. Enter accurate product weights and choose destination weight bands.

Example: two items at 0.5 kg each total 1 kg. The configured band for that destination determines the fee. Check the final open-ended band as well as the lower bands.

3. Based on Total Amount

Open Survey Setting → Shipping Setting (survey orders only). Order-level amount bands calculate shipping for the order. This can affect reward and add-on shipping together.

4. Based on Package Weight

Use the same project-level shipping section for order-weight calculation. Check product quantities, package weights and the selected unit. Configure destination bands that cover the orders you accept.

Check the scope and destinations

  • Product-level add-on zones do not set reward-level shipping.
  • Order-level amount or weight settings can change the combined order calculation.
  • Everywhere Else covers countries outside explicitly configured zones. Keep it only when you intend to offer those destinations.
  • When shipping is required, the current screen states that add-ons are available only for countries with configured fees.

Preview representative orders with different quantities, rewards and destinations before sending surveys. Include a boundary weight or amount and the final band in your check.

Review order-level scope

  1. Open Survey Setting → Shipping Setting (survey orders only).
  2. Enable the order-level calculation and choose Based on Total Amount or Based on Package Weight.
  3. For a shipping zone, click Configure under Rewards & Add-ons.
  4. Review the Add-on(s) and Reward(s) tabs. Check only the items that should use this rule.
  5. Confirm the selection, then review destination bands and click Save Shipping Setting.
  6. Preview representative orders and check the resulting shipping fee and balance.

The current screen disables Maximal Shipping Fee while order-level shipping calculation is enabled. Review the calculation method before changing either setting.
