 Step 6"Price Table Based Shipping" module will allow you to charge
people based on how much they spend in your store. Again you can enter any text you
want as you name the shipping method. Then you can choose to enter a handling charge
if you wish. Then you get to enter the "Ceiling" which defines to maximum
amount that the shopper can have in his cart and still get charged the rate you enter in
the next box.
Enter the amount you want to charge, which can be a percent
of the order total of you click on the checkbox next to the charge box. Update and
another set of boxes will come up and you can repeat the process. In the final range
simply enter "+" for the ceiling and that will take care of any amount above the
ceiling of the previous range. If you set the charges to be zero, then you can offer
your shoppers free shipping if they exceed a particular dollar amount as we have in our
example.
After you setup the "Price Table Based Shipping"
you can go to the individual products and you will find a new tab that says "Price
Table Shipping Charges".
Click on it and then on the white edit button and you can
add charges specifically for this particular product (the default shows 0.00 as in no
additional charges over what the Price Table Based Shipping rates are). Any amount
you add here will be added to the customer's shipping charges on top of the amount
predetermined by the Price Table Based Shipping setup.
 While the
documentation says that one could setup individual products to charge less than the
preconfigured Price Table Based Shipping, the box will not take negative integers.
This is obviously a bug that Miva will hopefully fix shortly.
Step 7
Weight Table Based shipping is similar to the Price Table
Based Shipping. The only two differences are the fact that the calculation is based
on the product weights you entered in the product screens as you added your products, and
that the shipping charge cannot be a percentage since it is based on weight not shopping
total.
As with the "Price Table Based Shipping", after
you setup the "Weight Table Based Shipping" you can go to the individual products
and you will find a new tab that says "Weight Table Shipping Charges".
Click on it and then on the white edit button and you can add charges specifically for
this particular product (the default shows 0.00 as in no additional charges over what the
Price Table Based Shipping rates are). Any amount you add here will be added to the
customer's shipping charges on top of the amount predetermined by the Price Table Based
Shipping setup. You can also put negative values here and it works,
unlike the "Price Table Based Shipping".
Step 8
The UPS online shipping option utilizes the UPS online
calculator and will be based on the account you have with UPS.
You have to have a registration number issued from
UPS. UPS calculates all weight units as pounds, in the increment of 1 pound, and the
minimum is 2 Lbs. The maximum weight permitted is 150 Lbs.
Needless to say, all
the standard Miva Merchant editing applies to shipping configuration (except for the UPS
module). You can change the rates and wording by clicking on the white
"edit" button next to the given entry, you can add more selections under a given
module by clicking on the yellow button, and you can click on the checkbox and update to
remove.
