How do I set up custom shipping charges based on the total weight of the order?

All of Pulse Commerce real-time shipping calculations are by weight, so if you use real-time shipping carriers the fees will be calculated by weight automatically. 

Note: The weight of each product is entered in the Product Editor (Products > Product Catalog Manager).

Set up custom shipping fees by weight:

1. Go to Settings  > Ship Methods & Rates.
   
   
2. Click the Custom Shipping tab.
   
   
   
   
3. In the Add New Shipping Option table, enter a Shipping Type. For example, By Weight.
   
   
   
   
4. Ensure that By Price is NOT selected.
   
   
5. Click the Add New button. This new method is added above the Add New Shipping Option header.
   
   
6. Click the Edit Weights link to specify one or more weight ranges.
   
   
   
   
7. Enter your custom weight scheme. Click the help icon on the page for detailed examples and instructions.
