Setting up shipping methods (RMHSO/RMSSO)

Shipping methods for your webstore are set up in RMS and then configured and enabled in webstore manager. 

In RMS you create and name the shipping method. You also set the base shipping rates here. You create the pick up in store shipping method here too. The shipping description on your web store is a 'shipping carrier name'- 'shipping service name'. 

Within webstore manager you assign the shipping methods created in RMS to the destination addresses. You can also use shipping integration to automatically calculate the shipping rate from your brick and mortar address to the customers address. Shipping Rules may also be used to adjust shipping amounts, remove shipping methods based on certain conditions.

Creating a shipping method in RMS

Open Store Operations Manager, select Database then Shipping Carriers.

Select a Service from the list or Add a new service. 

The Shipping Service window lets you assign shipping charges based off weight or total amount. 

The Service Name set here makes up the second half of the shipping method name for your web store. If you are using this to create a Pick Up - In Store method or will be using Shipping integration you only need to set the weight(up to) to 1000000 and leave the charge at 0.

To set different rates of shipping for different totals or different weights you need only assign the total (up to) or weight (up to) to the value at which you wish to change the shipping charge and assign the charge you require. You need to do this for each charge you wish to employ. 

Please note: it is advised you set a high maximum value to prevent a large order failing to have a shipping method.

Once you you have set your Service to your desire click ok, you may now configure another service should you require it or if finished click ok and close the shipping carriers window. You will need to synchronize the web store to add the new services to your Web Store Manager for assignment.
