How to Create A Custom Shipping Method
This article will illustrate how to create a Free Shipping Custom Shipping Method that is applied to all orders over $50.
Here are the steps:
1. Login to your Administration Console. Once in navigate to Custom Shipping Methods, located under Global Settings.
2. Next click New Method and then enter your desired name and description and click Add Shipping Method.
3. You need to make sure that you set the method to active. Select your newly created shipping method from within the [Select Method] dropdown. Then click the Edit Method button. Make sure that the Active checkbox is selected, and then click the Update Method button.
4. Now we need to add a shipping rule to the method. This rule is what sets the limitations for the method. In our case it will limit the method to orders over $50. You can assign multiple rules to a single method if you would like. To add a rule, start by clicking the New Rule button. Then assign the appropriate values to each of the fields. In our case we are using a starting value of $50 and an upper value of $9999999 to include all orders over $50. If you would like to limit the method to orders coming from a specific region or warehouse you can do that by specify a specific value in the corresponding fields, or you can simply leave them as every to include all orders.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When selecting a region for a shipping method rule, the rule will only match to one region and the more specific region. You may need to include a rule for each specific region as well as a general region. For example: If you have a United States region and a Texas region and you wanted to include a shipping rate of $10 for all the United States including Texas, you would have to created two rules; one for United States and one for Texas.
5. Click the Add Rule button. You should now have a Free Shipping Custom Shipping Method.
