Shipping

Shipping methods control how much your customers pay for delivery and where each option is available. Navigate to Settings > Shipping Methods to manage your methods.

​

Shipping methods

Each shipping method has the following core options.

• Name - The name customers see at checkout, such as Standard Delivery
• Description - Optional detail about the method
• Enabled - Whether the method is available at checkout
• Method - The type of method, which determines how the rate is calculated

The Method type can be one of:

• Flat rate - A fixed Amount for every order
• Free shipping - No charge
• Pickup - Collection in person, with no delivery charge
• Custom rate - A rate calculated from bands (see below)

​

Custom rate bands

A Custom rate method works out the charge from bands. First choose how bands are measured:

• Weight based (kg) - Bands are based on the order’s total weight
• Volume based (number of items) - Bands are based on the number of items

Then add rows of From / To / Amount. Set the last row’s To to Unlimited to cover everything above the previous band.

​

Countries and zones

Select the countries a method applies to, and optionally restrict it to specific zones. Rates apply based on the customer’s postcode. Marzipan includes the following built-in zones:

​

Conditions

You can gate when a method is offered.

• Minimum order value - Require a minimum order value for the method to be available. This is measured on the goods total after discounts: the subtotal minus any discount, with no shipping and no tax.
• Cart conditions - Restrict a method to carts that only contain items from certain collections
