Using Australia Post Shipping

Spiffy Stores links in with Australia Post to calculate the cost of shipping an item to your customer based on the weight of items in their cart. To add an Australia Post shipping rate, go to the "Preferences >> Shipping & handling" section of your Store Toolbox, and follow the instructions below.

Creating a weight-based shipping rate using Australia Post

1. Click on the "Add a weight-based rate" link under the country that you want to add a shipping rate for.
2. Name your shipping rate. This name appears in your checkout when a customer places an order, so generally you would write the method that it's being shipped by… for instance "DHL Standard Air".

3. Add the weight range. The first box is the starting (lowest) weight that applies for this weight range. The second box is the ending (highest) weight that applies for this weight range.

Note: In order for the weight range to apply to the current contents of the shopping cart, the weight of the cart must be greater than or equal to the lowest value in the range, but less than the highest value in the weight range.

4. Add the price for this shipping rate.

5. Ensure that "None - Use fixed Price" is selected, and click the "Add new Shipping Rate" button.

If you want to adjust the price for different regions in the country (including custom regions that you've created), edit the rate that you've just created, and use the arrows to adjust the rate up or down. You can also disable the rate for any regions as well, so you can create a custom rate that only applies to customers in your local area.
