This guide explains how to set up and configure shipping methods in Norce Commerce, including pricing rules and method-specific settings.

Required steps

  • Set up applications first (shipping rules are application-specific)
  • Create freight products for pricing

Preparations

Before setting up shipping methods, ensure you have:

  1. Configured applications
  2. Created freight products for pricing
  3. Determined shipping rules for B2B/B2C
  4. Planned pricing tiers based on weight/order value

How-to

Create a new shipping method

  1. Navigate to the shipping methods section Shopping -> Delivery methods
  2. Click "New" to create a method
  3. Configure basic settings:
    • Activate the shipping method
    • Set name, description, and code
    • Select currency for freight charges
    • Optionally set order value limitations (min/max)
    • Optionally set maximum order weight
    • Select target (All/B2B only/B2C only)
    • Allow for dropshipping orders
    • Allow dangerous goods products to use shipping method

Configure shipping fee calculation

  1. Select a saved shipping method
  2. Locate the freight fee section
  3. Add pricing tiers using "Add pricing":
    • Select freight product
    • Set price or use product price
    • Configure VAT
    • Set weight limitations

Manage methods

  • Arrange methods by priority (top = highest)
  • Default method will be the highest priority available for each specific basket.
  • Enable/disable methods for specific customers

Further configuration

  • Configure company-specific shipping methods
  • Set up external provider integrations
  • Enable PSP-specific shipping methods
  • Disable delivery methods or set default method for different categories

Important considerations

  • The order of the methods affects default selection in checkout (first is default)
  • External providers require specific integration setup
  • Methods can be restricted by:
    • Order value
    • Weight
    • Customer target
    • Dangerous goods
