How is the checkout shipping price calculated in Vareons?

The shipping price a customer sees at checkout is neither random nor a browser-sent value: it results from a server-side calculation over your fee table for the order destination. The system searches from most specific to most general: city, then country, then governorate, then the default price, and per-product shipping rules may override that figure under the cart calculation mode set in your store.

Price resolution order

1. The system takes the order destination from the shipping address entered at checkout.
2. It first looks for a city-specific price and adopts it directly when found.
3. With no matching city it moves to the country price, then the governorate price.
4. When every match is missing, the store-wide default price applies.
5. After the table price, per-product shipping rules apply under the cart mode: largest price, sum of prices, or table price with the exception.

Recommended practices

• Fill every table level and never rely on the default alone, so unfair prices never surprise you.
• Pick the cart calculation mode deliberately: largest for simplicity, sum for heavy parcels, exception for promotions.
• Remember that connecting a carrier never changes checkout prices, since they come from your table.
• Test prices with different addresses before any major campaign to confirm fair outcomes.
