From the first rule to the finished tier table: set the values, check the preview, write it into the shipping method - and understand how tax behaves with mixed carts.
Shopware 6.7, PHP 8.2 or newer. There are no migrations and no code running during installation - the table it needs is created when the module is first opened.
Upload the ZIP in the admin under Extensions, My Extensions, Upload extension, then install and activate it. SSH access is not required.
The module lives under Administration, Plugin Suite, Shipping calculator. There you see the overview of all rule sets you have created.
"New rule" opens the dialog. In order:
These values define how the tiers come about:
The preview in the dialog shows the generated steps immediately with net and gross price. All steps are visible, not just the first few.
The calculation basis decides which weight within a tier is used. For a tier from 5 to 10 kilograms that gives three possible results.
The upper bound is the cautious choice: it covers even the heaviest parcel in the tier. The lower bound is the customer-friendly variant but can fall below your cost on heavy shipments. The average balances both across volume.
Writing happens through "Save and write" in the dialog or "Write to shipping method" in the overview.
If "Remove existing prices" is active, the existing prices of the shipping method for the selected rule are deleted first. Without that option they stay and the new ones are added.
The calculator writes a gross and a net amount per tier. Which tax rate the customer is actually charged is decided by the shipping method through its tax calculation setting:
The module shows this setting directly in the shipping method picker. With a fixed rate the value is adopted into the tax rate field automatically and locked, so gross and net cannot drift apart.
The plugin only changes the prices of the chosen shipping method, not the method itself. Delivery times, availability and rules stay untouched.
Rules can be duplicated to build variants quickly.
Prices already written stay in place when a rule set is deleted. Deleting a rule therefore removes nothing from the running shop.
Questions and requests come straight to us - support is from the developer, not from a queue. You can also request a feature through the Plugin Suite in the admin.
Every setting of the plugin with its default value and explanation, in the same order as in the administration. The texts come straight from the plugin (version 1.2.0).
Name of the rule in the overview, such as parcel shipping Germany.
Marks the rule as active. Inactive rules stay stored and can be switched on again later.
The shipping method the calculated tiers are written into as shipping costs.
Writes the tiers only for this Shopware rule, for example a particular country. Without a selection they always apply.
Currency of the tier prices. Without a selection the shop's default currency is used.
Removes the existing prices of this shipping method for the selected rule before writing, so old and new tiers do not overlap.
Base price of every tier. The weight-based surcharge is added to it.
How the surcharge is calculated: as a fixed amount per kilogram or as a percentage of the base price per kilogram.
Surcharge for every kilogram above the included weight. Applies with the absolute amount surcharge type.
Percent of the base price per kilogram above the included weight. Applies with the percentage surcharge type.
Up to this weight only the base price is charged; the surcharge only applies above it.
Weight at which the first tier starts.
Width of each weight tier. With 1 kg the tiers run from 0 to 1, 1 to 2 kilograms and so on.
Weight up to which tiers are generated.
Which weight of a tier counts for the price: the upper limit, the midpoint or the lower limit. With the upper limit the 1 to 2 kg tier costs as much as 2 kg.
Which steps prices are rounded to: no rounding, 0.05, 0.10, 0.50 or 1.00.
How prices are rounded: up, down or to the nearest step. Only applies when a rounding step is chosen.
No tier price falls below this amount. Empty means no lower limit. Applied before rounding.
No tier price rises above this amount. Empty means no upper limit. Applied before rounding.
Tax rate used to convert between gross and net prices.
Whether the amounts entered are gross or net prices. The other value is calculated using the tax rate.
The last tier also covers all weights above the maximum weight instead of ending there.
All prices net, plus VAT.
