How to Configure Table Rate Shipping Options

Configuring the table rate shipping option

For the table rate shipping options LemonStand displays the Rates tab with the rates table on the shipping option configuration form. The Rates table has a number of columns, allowing you to specify shipping rates for specific countries and states depending on the package weight, volume or the order totals.

The list of countries and states should be defined on the System/Settings/Countries and States page. You can use the wildcard (*) character to specify the “any country” or “any state” value in the in the Country, State and ZIP/Postal Code columns of the table. When you need to refer to a specific country or state, use its 2-character code (US, CA for countries or TX, BC for states). LemonStand will show a list of existing country or state codes if you make a mistake.

You can create more than one table-rate based shipping option, for example one for ground and and one for air delivery.

LemonStand reads shipping rates from top downward and stops as soon as  it finds a matching row. When you define shipping rates, you should specify more specific rates locations (state- or ZIP-specific rates) first, and general locations (country-wide rates) after.

For example, if you want to create a common shipping rate for USA and a special shipping rate for California, the row defining the California shipping rate should be placed above the row defining USA-wide shipping rate.

Canada Post shipping method

Canada Post shipping method requires outgoing TCP port 30000 to be not blocked by any firewall or proxy software. If you experience issues with this shipping method, please contact your server support team and ask them to unblock the port.

USPS shipping method

Although USPS documentation suggests to test the integration in the test mode (with USPS test server) before applying for a production account, we found that USPS test server do not work properly and always returns the authorization error. Please use a production USPS user ID and the production server for testing.
