Here you will learn how to apply shipping markup in the administration panel.

youtu.be

Clicking this button directs you to the shipping options page

You must first select the provider from the drop down

This will only be valid if you have that provider turned on through your shipping manager

Once you have selected the provider a grid will be displayed

This will allow you to enter a price override for a specific shipping method

If you would like to give the contact free shipping you would enter zero

You can also change the floor and ceiling mark-ups for this contact

This affects the shipping mark-up the contact will receive on their orders. 

  1. Shipping Markup

    1. Simple Markup
      1. To do a simple markup (non-sliding scale) set the Floor Percentage, Floor Dollar & Floor + Ceiling Weight to 0. Then set the Ceiling Percentage & Dollar amounts to what you want to use. Below is an example:

    2. Sliding Scale Markup (advanced)

      1. This allows you to edit the shipping mark-up for this contact based on your negotiated rates from UPS or Fedex. 

        1. First select the provider you wish to edit. 

        2. You will the be presented with a grid.

          1. You may enter an override price, so if you want this contact to get free ground shipping you would enter 0.00
          2. Floor Percentage Mark-up, this is the max percent mark-up that will be applied to shipping
          3. Floor Dollar Mark-up, this is the minimum amount added as a mark-up on shipping
          4. Floor Weight, This is the minimum weight meaning no matter what all shipments will be calculated as being at least this weight.  
          5. Ceiling Percentage Markup-This is the percentage applied to shipments that are the ceiling weight or more
          6. Ceiling Dollar Markup-This is the flat dollar mark-up added to shipments that are the ceiling weight or more

          7. Ceiling Weight-This is the max weight for the sliding scale anything over the ceiling caps off at the ceiling percentage and dollar. 

            1. Shipping marks up are a sliding scale. if the floor percentage is set to 35%, with a $2 Floor Dollar and a floor weight of 1 then a 10% ceiling percent, $5 ceiling dollar and 200 ceiling weight. 

              1. Example 1. (We'll use round number, these are not true shipping costs)
                1LB=Negotiated Rate of $5
                $5+2+($5*.35)=$8.75 (Total Mark-up of $3.75)

              2. Example 2. (We'll use round number, these are not true shipping costs)

                 
                200LB=Negotiated Rate of $200 
                $200+$5+($200*.10)=$225 (Total Mark-up of $25) 


Remember to adjust enough you're not losing money on shipments.
