As I mentioned in the writing how to add weight-based manual rates, there are two types of the manual shipping rate which are weight-based manual and price-based manual. From that, you would know how to add weight-based manual rates. In this one, I will take you through how to add price-based manual rates.

Before going the main part of this post, I suppose to compare between price-based manual rates and weight-based rates so that you can choose the best way suitable for yours.

Different from adding the weight-based rates, adding price-based rates will save your time to carry out. Because when you add the manual shipping rates based on weight, you have to enter individual item weights. Hence, you will find it much easier to add price-based rates without taking many steps.

However, everything has two sides of it. Price-based rates also have the negative side which is that basing on the total price of the order can be inaccurate sometimes. If the goods are heavy, you might be suffered from additional costs.

After considering carefully, here is the detailed instruction if you choose price-based rates.
