Advanced Options
| Function | Definition |
|---|---|
| Filter on subtotal price & weight | In the csv file where you have shipping groups defined you can choose to filter based on the weight/price of the products in cart for that shipping group or the total weight/price of cart. E.g.: If there are $30 of products assigned to the BOOKS shipping group and $20 of CDS then this will use a cart price of $50 when using price-based filters. |
| Use Base Currency Prices | Use the price of the base currency as opposed to store currency when calculating rules to match |
| Use Discounted Prices | Use the discounted prices (after promotions applied) when calculating rules to match |
| Use Pattern Matching | By default this extension will match based on the shipping method output by the carrier e.g. Next Day Air. There are scenarios where this value changes e.g. if a date is at end. In that scenario set this switch to YES and put a .* at end e.g. Courier.* will match on all shipping methods that start with Courier |
| Use Custom Option SKU as Shipping Group | Allow shipping groups to be used in products’ custom options. |
| Use Tax Inclusive Prices | In Magento shipping is calculated based on excl tax price. There are a very few scenarios where the incl tax price is needed |
| Use Text based Shipping Group | If the attribute entered in the “Shipping group attribute” field is a textual attribute this option will need to be selected. The default attribute, special_shipping_group, uses a drop-down field so this should not be selected if using the default shipping group attribute |
| Use with Dropship Warehouse | Adds warehouse ID column filter for use in conjunction with the Dropship extension. |
