Quantity based pricing means that the shipping cost is calculated based on a base rate with an additional charge for each subsequent product added to the order.

To supply your shipping charges via a quantity based pricing type (either for all countries or a selection) requires the completion of 6 fields. These are as follows:

Field Specification

Country - The Country field should be populated with the two digit ISO country code (Upper Case) of the country(s) which that shipping charge applies too. For a full list of the country codes for the 46 supported countries on Fruugo please see here

If the same shipping charge relates to multiple countries these should be separated by spaces. For example: IE FR DE.

Per Item Price - The 'Per Item Price' field should be populated with the price increase for every additional item added to an order for this specific shipping selection / row. This value will be added to the Delivery Price. The price should be supplied excluding VAT.

Delivery Price - The Delivery Price field should be populated with the delivery price for this specific shipping selection / row and should be supplied excluding VAT. If your shipping is free of charge then this field should be populated with 0 rather than left blank.

Currency - The Currency field should be populated with the three letter ISO currency code (Upper Case) within which the delivery price for this specific shipping selection is supplied. You should supply the charges in your own currency (e.g. EUR). For a full list of the currency codes for the 46 supported countries on Fruugo please see here

Delivery Type - The Delivery Type field should be populated with either 'Standard' or 'Express' depending on the type of delivery offered. The delivery types are outlined on the Shipping > Shipping Specification article.

Courier - The 'Courier' field should be used to select the name of the courier you will typically use to ship orders to the specified country in that shipping method.

Additional Courier - The 'Additional Courier' fields should be used to select the name of an additional courier you may use to ship orders to the specified country in that shipping method. Note: Up to 4 additional fields.

Once all your charges are added for the countries you wish to ship too. Please send the template back to the Fruugo Integration Team. If your courier is not listed please let know.

Please note: In order to use quantity based shipping you must provide a default weight value of 1000 in the 'PackageWeight' field of your product feed for each of your products. It also means you can not use weight based shipping for any other country.
