For example, you can create shipping charges based on the weight of the order or the number of items in the order and charges independent of weight or quantity (fixed-rate charges). You can apply any combination of the three types of charges to an order.
        Example of shipping calculations
        Use the Shipping notebook to calculate shipping charges by using any of the following methods individually, or by adding the results of several of these methods together.
        Example: Configuring fixed amount shipping charges
        When shipping charges are based on weight ranges, the item weight is multiplied by the shipping charge for the range under which the weight falls. This is because the default setup in Commerce Lab is to use a per unit amount calculation range as opposed to a fixed amount calculation range.
