1. By the total weight of all the items your customer purchases.
   You define the weight of each item. You even choose the weights such as "Pounds", "Kilos", "Grams" or whatever YOU need. Then you can also set the shipping (and handling) price according to your needs.
   Example:
   Charge $4.95 for the first pound (or whatever units you choose) and then an additional $2.50 for each additional pound of shipping weight.
   Note: If you have an item that requires extra work or special packaging for shipping, you can simply tell the software that this item weighs more than it actually does... thereby increasing the shipping price your customer pays.

2. A flat fee per item.
   A simple shipping system... and simple to use. The Shopping Cart will automatically multiply the number of items your customer is purchasing by your set shipping price.

3. Based upon flat rates at various increments of the subtotal. This is an easy way to set up your shipping charges, but not as accurate as by the pound/kilo.
   Example:
   $5 shipping for orders totaling $100 or less.
   $10 shipping for orders totaling $200 or less.
   $50 shipping totaling $1000 or less.
   Over $1000, free shipping.
   

4. Based upon percentages at various increments of the subtotal.
   This is also an easy way to set up your shipping charges, but not as accurate as by the pound/kilo.
   Example:
   5% shipping for orders totaling $100 or less.
   4% shipping for orders totaling $200 or less.
   3% shipping totaling $1000 or less.
   2% shipping totaling $1000000 or less.
   Free shipping when subtotal is over $1000000.
   You customize the increments and charges of course.
   

5. Custom Database Shipping Tables.
   If your shipping company doesn't have consistent prices for each additional pound, then this is for you.
   Requires extra programming. Ask us, we can help!

6. No shipping.
   You can turn off all shipping calculations in the cart and just say, "Shipping Included" somewhere on your website.
