# Scaling Weight-Based Shipping Costs

> Mapping the shipping price across multiple weight tiers

Goal: The shipping price should increase with the weight of the order, for example in several tiers.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create one shipping option per tier">
    Create multiple [shipping options](/docs/en/bc-shipping-costs/user-guide/versandoptionen) and delimit them using **Weight from** and **Weight to**, for example:

    * up to and including 5 kg
    * over 5 up to and including 20 kg
    * over 20 kg
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign prices">
    Enter the appropriate price in the **Shipping Costs** field for each tier.

    <Warning>
      Make sure the weight ranges connect seamlessly to one another and do not overlap at the boundary values. Otherwise, no shipping option or more than one shipping option will be valid for individual orders.
    </Warning>

    <Check>
      Depending on the order weight, the appropriate tier applies automatically.
    </Check>
  </Step>
</Steps>
