Type of calculation
FixedA fixed shipping fee will be applied to all orders

## Maximum/Minimum rate If a rate drops below, or rises above specified amount, it will be set to maximum/minimum rate. ## Charge maximum rate If you have several table rate shippings, and multiple are valid, only the one with highest shipping fee will be shown, others will be hidden. This will apply, if **any** of the valid table rates has this parameter enabled. ### Show multiple options This parameter **overrides** **Charge maximum rate** setting. So, even if another table rate has checked Charge maximum rate, and it has higher rate, table rate with Show multiple options parameter checked will be shown. i.e. table rates with Show multiple options checked can not be hidden, if charge maximum rate is enabled elsewhere. # Products section You can require certain products to be purchased The table rate will be valid only if **at least one** of the products in this section is in customer's cart. If left empty, this check will not be performed. # Requirements section Advanced requirements ## Overview This section allows to build advanced logical expressions based on values of the order.
