Defining Shipping Charges by Price
Priced based shipping
calculations are calculated at the line level based upon the percentage of
price and are NOT prorated like other calculated methods. See the example
below. The price for shipping in the order below is 5% of the line price.
Therefore each item is assessed its own shipping cost based upon the price of
the individual item.
