Add Flat Rate Shipping to a Category

How to set a flat shipping rate on a product category — choose per-order or per-item pricing, and optionally set a customs value for international orders.

Overview

This article walks through setting a flat rate on a category. Flat rate shipping is configured per category, not store wide. For how flat rates work and combine with other shipping, see Flat Rate Shipping.

Steps

  1. 1

    In the Foxy admin, open the Categories section.

  2. 2

    Select the category you want to configure (or create a new one).

  3. 3

    In Category details, scroll to Delivery Options.

  4. 4

    Set Delivery type to Shipped using a flat rate.

  5. 5

    Enter the Shipping rate amount.

  6. 6

    Set Flat rate applies to either:

    • Per order — the rate is charged once for the category, regardless of quantity.

    • Per item — the rate is multiplied by the quantity of items from this category.

  7. 7

    (Optional) Enter a Customs value for international shipments. If left blank, the item's sale price is used.

  8. 8

    Save the category (the checkmark button at the top).

Test it

Add a product from this category to your cart and proceed to checkout. The flat rate should be included in the shipping total (combined with any other shipping costs in the cart).
