    Shipping Table

    This field is where you set the table rates. For example:   20:5.00, 30:7.00, 10000:10 

    This would mean by price

    $0-$19.99 = $5.00

    $20-$29.99 = $7.00

    &  $30 or more would be = $10.00

    By weight this would be:

    0-19.99lbs = $5.00

    20-29.99lbs = $7.00

    30lbs or more will be = $10.00

    By amount would be:

    0-19 items = $5.00

    20-29 items = $7.00

    30+ items = $10.00

    Table Method Choose if you want the shipping price set by the total price, amount purchased, or weight of the purchased items.
