Specific delivery prices
ShopWired's specific delivery pricing feature allows you to set delivery prices individually for products, or set the product to have free delivery.
Where a product has a specific delivery price (or free delivery) and is added to the basket, the visitor does not need to select a delivery rate. Where a visitor's basket only contains products with specific delivery prices (or free delivery) they will never be asked to select a delivery rate. Where a visitor's basket contains a mix of products, some with specific delivery prices (or free delivery) and some without, the visitor will need to select a delivery rate but the calculation of which delivery rates to allow the visitor to select from will exclude any products with a specific delivery price (or free delivery).
The type of specific delivery prices you can configure for products depends on your checkout settings:
(1) Where your visitors are asked to select a delivery rate before entering their address, known as the shipping on basket
configuration, you can configure one specific delivery price that applies to all delivery countries/zones
(2) Where your visitors are asked to select a delivery rate after entering their address, known as the shipping on checkout
configuration, you can configure a specific delivery price separately for each delivery country/zone

Setting a specific delivery price for all delivery countries/zones
If your checkout uses the shipping on basket configuration you can configure a single specific delivery price that applies to
all delivery countries/zones. To do so, navigate to the add/edit product page and in the stock and delivery management section
enter the specific delivery price in the field provided or use the free checkbox to mark the product as having free delivery.
Once you've configured a specific delivery price, an additional checkbox will appear beneath the field, as shown below
When visitors add multiple quantities of the product to the basket, selecting this checkbox will mean they are only charged the specific delivery price once (irrespective of the quantity of the product). This also applies when adding different variations of the same product.
Setting a specific delivery price for each delivery country/zone individually
If your checkout uses the shipping on checkout configuration you can configure specific delivery prices for each delivery
country/zone separately. To do so, navigate to the add/edit product page and in the stock and delivery management section.
Select yes for the setting labelled Do you want to set specific delivery pricing for this product? and then configure your
specific delivery prices as shown in the example below.
You can use the all delivery zones option as a 'catch-all' for any delivery country that you haven't configured separately.
A checkbox appears above the fields, as shown below
When visitors add multiple quantities of the product to the basket, selecting this checkbox will mean they are only charged the specific delivery price once (irrespective of the quantity of the product). This also applies when adding different variations of the same product.
Importing specific delivery prices
You can configure specific delivery prices for products using the product import/export system.
When using the shipping on basket configuration, two columns are available within the product import template:
Delivery Price
Where you can set the delivery price, e.g. enter 1.00 (for £1.00) or Free for free delivery
Single Delivery Cost?
Where you enter 1 for the specific delivery price not to be charged multiple times (irrespective of the quantity added to the basket) or 0 for the specific delivery price to be charged separately for each quantity added to the basket
When using the shipping on checkout configuration, three columns are available:
Delivery Price
Where you can set the delivery price for all delivery zones (as a catch-all), e.g. enter 1.00 (for £1.00) or Free for free delivery
Delivery Price (Per Zone)
When configuring specific delivery prices for multiple zones enter all of the delivery prices into this single column in the
format Country: Price, Country: Price, e.g. United Kingdom: Free, United States: 10.00, France: 3.50.
You must enter the names of the countries correctly, in accordance with the ShopWired country naming convention.
Single Delivery Cost?
Where you enter 1 for the specific delivery price not to be charged multiple times (irrespective of the
quantity added to the basket) or 0 for the specific delivery price to be charged separately for each quantity added to the basket
