Does Vareons support a different shipping cost per product?
Last verified: 2026-09-18
Vareons supports product-level shipping rules, such as free shipping for a specific product or a product-specific price, applied on top of the shipping zone table based on the store cart shipping calculation mode. The available modes are taking the largest line price, summing the prices, or using the table price, and the total is calculated on the server at checkout. This helps stores with products of varying weights and sizes, since the shipping cost mirrors each product nature instead of a flat price that may burden the merchant or the shopper.
Configuration and testing steps
- Open the shipping settings and review the shipping zone table and its base prices first.
- Add a shipping rule for each product needing special treatment such as free or special pricing.
- Pick the store shipping calculation mode among largest price, sum, or table price per policy.
- Trial mixed carts holding products with different rules and review the shipping total at checkout.
- Follow actual shipping costs against collected amounts regularly and adjust rules on price changes.
Grant free shipping to light or promotional products with special prices for heavy ones, review the cart shipping calculation mode regularly, and trial mixed carts before each campaign for a sensible checkout total.
