Shipping Price Levels

The Shipping Price Levels app lets you configure different price breakdowns for specific product types for each of your shipping methods. For example, apparel may use a different shipping price level to mugs. To configure different price breakdown levels, you must first define the price level categories for each of the product types that will have different shipping price levels. You can create an unlimited number of price levels to suit your shipping structures.
