Default Estimated Shipping Costs

The default estimated shipping cost is used to inform customers in the shopping cart that the total price they see is not final because the shipping cost will be finalized during checkout based on the selected delivery method. You can set up the default estimated shipping costs to calculate the approximate shipping cost for the customers in the shopping cart and inform them about the extra charge and that it will be recalculated and finalized during checkout based on the selected delivery method.

When a customer gets to the checkout process and selects the appropriate delivery method, the shipping cost will be recalculated.

The default shipping cost is not shown in the shopping cart, if:

• Shipping methods are not configured.
• If all shipping methods are disabled.
