Description |
You can add a description to the shipping method. Shipping method description is shown in the Sana webstore on the Delivery method checkout step, where customers can select the shipping method they want their order to be delivered. |

Calculation method |
Select FedEx. The shipping costs are calculated by FedEx in real-time depending on the FedEx service type, customer's shipping address, actual weight, and dimensions of the package. NOTE
The FedEx calculation method is available only when the FedEx add-on is installed. |
|
Service type |
Select the FedEx service type. FedEx gives you choices when you want to ship online. When you create a FedEx shipping method select one of the available FedEx service types. Each FedEx service type calculates prices depending on different aspects, like country of delivery, weight of a package and its dimensions. When a customer places an order in the webstore, availability of FedEx shipping methods also depends on these aspects. For more information about different FedEx services, see FedEx Service Guide. |
|
Charge percentage (%) |
You can set up an extra charge percentage for a shipment. For example, the extra charge is 10% and FedEx returned the shipping cost 100$: 10 (the extra charge %) + 100 (the shipping cost), as a result, the final rate is 110$. |
|
Insured shipping |
FedEx offers insurance to cover costs if a package is lost, stolen or damaged. If you enable this option, FedEx will calculate an additional insurance rate on top of the shipping cost. The first $100 of insurance costs nothing, but if the cost of the package is higher, you can purchase additional insurance to cover possible losses. Insurance rates are available only for standard service types. It does not apply to freight service types. |
|
Use residential rates |
Enable this option to include residential fees in the shipping costs. |
|
Availability per country |
Select countries for which the shipping method should be available. If some country is not selected, the shipping method will not be available to the customers of that country. |
|
Customer segments |
Assign customer segments. Using customer segments, you can filter shipping methods. If you add a customer segment to the shipping method, then this shipping method will be available only to the customers that meet the criteria set in the customer segment. Other customers will not see this shipping method. |
