How Do Delivery Thresholds Work?

By default, Shipping Fees charge per item. Delivery Thresholds let you create more complex Shipping Fee scenarios. Here's how Delivery Thresholds work:

• • Each product has a Shipping Factor (set when the Delivery Method is checked for that product).
  • When the sum of all Shipping Factors in the cart meet a Delivery Threshold, UltraCamp assigns the designated Shipping Fee.

There are several things to keep in mind when building Delivery Thresholds:

• • Different products can have different Shipping Factors so they can count differently towards a Delivery Threshold.
  • Only products with the same selected Delivery Method are compared against that method's Delivery Threshold.
  • Shipping Factors must be set on the individual Product. Learn more about Products here.

Example Delivery Option Usage

There are many ways to combine questions and thresholds to set up a delivery option, here is an example that may provide insight:

Delivery Option: ACME Postal Package

• • Delivery Threshold: 1 Cost: $7.00
  • Delivery Threshold: 3 Cost: $10.00
  • Delivery Threshold: 5 Cost: $15.00
  • Custom Question: Mailing Address (Multiple Line Textbox)

Item 1: T-shirt

• • Quantity 2
  • Shipping Factor 1
  • Cost $10.00 per item
  • Selected Delivery Method: ACME Postal Package

Item 2: Logo Mug

• • Quantity 1
  • Shipping Factor 2
  • Cost $8.00 per item
  • Selected Delivery Method: ACME Postal Package

 Shopping Cart:

• • $20.00 for 2 T-shirts
  • $8.00 for 1 Logo Mug
  • $10.00 for ACME Postal Package Delivery Option
  • Total Cost: $38.00

The Postal Package Delivery Option fee is calculated based on the Shipping Factor for each of the items. The two T-shirts each have a Shipping Factor of 1. When this combines with the Shipping Factor of 2 from the Logo Mug, we have a total Shipping Factor of 4. This puts us over the Delivery Threshold of 3 but under the Threshold of 5. Therefore UltraCamp calculates a $10.00 fee for the ACME Postal Package.
