11.2.8 Store: Change Shipping This section describes how to use the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator to add shipping charges to orders. Using the Accelerator, you can create shipping charges based on the weight of the order or the number of items in the order, or use fixed-rate charges. You can apply any combination of the three types of charges to an order. Shipping charges are based on the following factors: Jurisdiction to which you are shipping the order. Jurisdictions are geographical regions or zones representing a country, region, province, territory, or zip code range, to which you sell goods. Ship mode you are using to ship the order. A shipping mode is the combination of the shipping carrier (the company that provides shipping services) and the shipping service offered by that carrier. For example, "XYZ Courier, Overnight service" is a shipping mode. Ship code used to calculate the shipping charge. A shipping code indicates which shipping charges are applied to which products in the order. Shipping codes are assigned to products or categories. When a customer purchases a product, the codes assigned to it determine the shipping charges that are added to the order. Before you set up shipping charges using the Shipping notebook in the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator you should have the following company-specific data available: Country or region in which the store is located The names of all countries or regions to which the store provides shipping The names of all supported shipping providers The names of all shipping services offered by each shipping provider, such as Overnight, 3-day, or 7-day.
