The available shipping methods for the order are automatically selected based on certain criteria.
The visibility of the shipping method at the online store's checkout depends on the following criteria:
- Product package sizes: The package sizes of all products included in the order must be allowed in the shipping method settings.
- Total weight of the order: The total weight of the order must not exceed the highest maximum weight limit set when determining shipping costs. If a minimum weight limit has also been set in the shipping method settings, the total weight of the order must not be less than that.
- Shipping country: The shipping method must allow the shipping country selected by the customer at checkout.
- Customer Group: If the shipping method is restricted to certain customer groups, the customer must log in to the online store before they can see the available shipping methods for their customer group at checkout.
All shipping methods that meet these criteria for the order are visible at checkout when the customer places an order.
Shipping methods cannot be specified on a product or product-group basis; instead, the applicable shipping methods for the order are always selected automatically.
If there are multiple shipping methods that meet the criteria, the default selection is the first shipping method on the page list. Based on that, the system also calculates the shipping costs, as long as the customer has not selected another shipping method at checkout.
