After installing the “dynamic commerce Shipping Costs” extension, a few basic settings must first be configured. In the following, we briefly show you how this setup works and which options are available to you there.
You can also use our setup assistant, which guides you step by step through these settings.

Step 2: Define the posting type

First, you select a posting type there. The posting type determines the form in which the shipping options are to be posted in the individual orders in the future.To select the posting type, click on the drop-down menu labeled “Posting Type Shipping Costs”. This allows you to choose one of the following options:
  • G/L account
  • Resource
  • Item
  • Charge (Item)
In our example, we post the shipping costs as a resource. You can then define the sales number (Sales No.) for the posting in the field below, provided that you have already created sales numbers.

Step 3: Define the total calculation

Using the “Total Calculation Sales Basket” field, you determine how the order total, which is used for the automatic selection of the shipping options, is calculated.By clicking on the corresponding drop-down menu, you can choose whether the entire order or only the total of the items should be used for the calculation.In our example, we select “Total Sum” here.

Step 4: Define the default sorting of the shipping options

Finally, you should define how the shipping options are to be sorted or in which order they are ultimately displayed.
This default sorting only takes effect if more than one valid shipping option was found.
To do so, click on the “Default Sorting Shipping Costs” drop-down menu. There you can then choose between manual sorting or automatic price sorting.In our example, we opt for manual sorting.
