Configuration

This page explains the practical setup flow for Flex Shipping.

Step 1: Create shipping methods

For each website, create the required shipping methods and set:

• title
• active status
• sort order
• active time window (if needed)

Step 2: Define attribute mapping

Map weight, volume, and dimension attributes per method. Define how missing values should be handled.

Step 3: Configure package behavior

Choose package splitting strategy and packing mode to match your product and logistics model.

Step 4: Build rate matrix

Define rates with country, postcode, weight, and volume ranges. Use priorities for clear resolution.

Step 5: Set pricing mode and scope

Choose fixed, per kilogram, or per package pricing. Decide whether calculation runs on shipment scope or package scope.

Step 6: Add method rules

Apply Magento conditions and stop-processing logic to keep method behavior deterministic.

Step 7: Validate with simulator

Run simulation for realistic quotes and verify returned methods and calculated amounts before go-live.
