Fixed Price Shipping charges

Shipping prices can be fixed per order. When using fixed shipping prices, those prices should cover the minimal cost of you handling the order and shipping a small parcel (i.e. a few prints). Your actual shipping prices may be much higher when bulky items like framed prints or coffee mugs are ordered. To account for those higher per-item shipping charges, set the base per-item cost high enough to handle both the physical item cost and the additional cost of shipping each item.

Example: actual product and shipping costs

Line Item	Per-Item Product Cost	Per-Item Shipping Cost	Per-Item Total Cost
6"x4" print	0.19	0.01	0.20
Coffee mug	4.95	1.95	6.90
Wood Frame	29.99	15.00	44.99

Use the final column, Per-Item Total Cost, in your price plan to account for the extra shipping cost associated with bulky items. Using this method prevents the customer receiving a large shipping charge toward the end of an order.
