Hi I have tried everything but can get shipping to simply be a percentage of the total order. Any help appreciated.

Thanks, Frank

Hiya Amainayar,

It's not a "problem" just a feature that is not included as of yet. I know they are working on some updates for the program, but I really don't know if that is part of the update or not. Right now though, there are no %ages of order shipping choices. Basically it's based on the per item or the weight based setup at this time. Hopefully the future will bring us more features in the shipping system. :)

When you put your inventory into your shop just set each item with it's own shipping price.

For example:

Item 1 price 10.00 shipping 1.00 for 10% shipping
Item 2 price 18.00 shipping 1.80
Item 3 price 12.50 shipping 1.25
Total order 40.50 shipping 4.05

Item 1 price 10.00 shipping 0.50 for 5% shipping
Item 2 price 18.00 shipping 0.90
Item 3 price 12.50 shipping 0.63 <- Notice this is 1/2 a penny too much.
Total order 40.50 shipping 2.03

If the half penny bothers you just alter your selling price by 2 cents either way and it will come out dead on. It's only a problem with items ending in .10, .30, .50, .70, .90 or any item ending in an odd amount, which you could go up or down a penny.
