# Shopware shipping costs by weight: tiers generated automatically > Generates weight-based shipping cost tiers from a base price and a surcharge per kilogram and writes them straight into the shipping method Quelle / Source: https://stoneandwater.online/en/shipping-calculator.html # Shipping costs by weight for Shopware: Shipping tiers, *generated in seconds*. Enter base price and surcharge per kilogram, check the preview, write it into the shipping method. What costs an hour of typing by hand comes out of two values here - including rounding, minimum and maximum price and an open top tier. [Read the manual](https://stoneandwater.online/en/manual-shipping-calculator.html)[Get in touch](https://stoneandwater.online/en/contact.html) What the plugin does ## Shipping cost by weight, *calculated not typed*. A base price and a surcharge per kilogram produce finished price tiers - with a preview before saving. On request the plugin writes them straight into the chosen shipping method, where Shopware keeps them as calculation by weight. Two values suffice ### Base price and surcharge Set the base amount, state the surcharge per kilogram, done. The surcharge is either a fixed amount per kilogram or a percentage added to the base price. Live preview ### See it before it counts The generated tiers appear in the dialog immediately, each with net and gross price. Only once the result fits does anything get written - no saving into the dark. Straight into the method ### No retyping One click writes the tiers into the chosen shipping method. Shopware stores them there as calculation by weight, exactly as if entered by hand. Any number of rule sets ### Variants side by side For every shipping method, currency and Shopware rule you can create a separate set. Rule sets can be duplicated to build variants quickly. Freely defined tiers ### From included weight to an open top Start weight, tier size and maximum weight define the steps. Up to the included weight only the base price applies, and the top tier can be left open ended. Clean amounts ### Round and cap Minimum and maximum price cap the result. Rounding happens to 0.05, 0.10, 0.50 or 1.00 - up, down or commercially. [Image: Shipping tiers, generated in seconds - Screenshot] **By weight**not tables How it looks in the admin - Create a rule with base price and surcharge - Tiers are calculated automatically - Check the preview - Write it straight into the shipping method Ideal for Heavy items Bulky goods Express and standard Several currencies [Read the manual](https://stoneandwater.online/en/manual-shipping-calculator.html) What it is for ## Shipping tiers are *dull work*. Entering a tier table with thirty steps by hand costs an hour and invites mistakes. If the base price changes, you start over. Price changes ### Minutes instead of hours When your carrier raises prices, you change two values and rewrite the table. No clicking through thirty rows, no transcription error. Several methods ### Standard, express, bulky goods A separate rule set per shipping method with its own values. What is structurally alike can be duplicated and adjusted only where it differs. Several countries ### Per rule and currency Linking to a Shopware rule keeps tiers where they belong - by delivery country or customer group, each in the matching currency. Settings ## The calculation *stays traceable*. Every value has a recognisable purpose, and the preview shows immediately what it does. Nothing happens out of sight. Calculation basis ### Lower bound, middle or upper bound You decide which weight within a tier is used. The upper bound is the cautious choice, the lower bound the customer-friendly one, the average the compromise. Gross or net ### Enter the way you think The amounts you enter can be read as gross or net prices. The tax rate then handles the conversion, and the preview shows both values side by side. Tax handling visible ### Right at the shipping method The shipping method picker shows its tax calculation: automatic, highest tax rate or fixed tax rate with a percentage. You know beforehand what the customer will be charged. Fixed rate is adopted ### So nothing drifts apart If the shipping method uses a fixed tax rate, the field adopts that value automatically and is locked. Gross and net cannot drift against each other. Existing prices ### Replace or keep Before writing, the existing prices of the shipping method for the selected rule can be removed. Without that option they stay in place. Cleanup included ### Deleting has no side effect When a rule set is deleted, prices already written to the shipping method remain. The plugin never takes away what you have already published. Technical details ## Clean *Shopware integration*. The plugin only changes the prices of the chosen shipping method, never the method itself. Installed by upload in the admin, without SSH. ### Compatibility Shopware 6.6 & 6.7 PHP 8.2+ Administration Bilingual ### No migrations No code runs during installation and there are no migrations. The table it needs is created when the module is first opened - so an interrupted update cannot leave half a state behind. ### Writes standard prices The tiers are created as regular prices of the shipping method, using calculation by weight. Afterwards they are visible and editable in the Shopware admin as usual. ### Tax logic stays with Shopware Which tax rate the customer is actually charged is decided by the shipping method. With automatic handling the shipping tax is distributed across the tax rates in the cart, weighted by the net share of the line items. ### No config file All settings live in the admin module under the Plugin Suite. There is deliberately no config.xml, so nothing has to be maintained in two places. Frequently asked ## Frequently asked questions about the shipping calculator What prospective customers most often want to know before buying. #### How do I calculate weight-based shipping costs in Shopware 6? Shopware supports weight-based shipping through price tiers on the shipping method, which have to be entered one by one. The shipping calculator generates those tiers from a base price and a surcharge per kilogram instead and writes them straight into the chosen shipping method. #### What does the shipping calculator cost? Buying directly costs 11.99 euros net per month or 122.30 euros net per year. Paying yearly saves 15 percent compared with monthly rental. All prices are net and exclude VAT. #### Can I try the shipping calculator first? Yes, there is a free seven day trial. You start it directly in the Plugin Suite inside the Shopware admin, without payment details. It ends automatically when the period is over and creates no obligation. #### Which tax rate applies with mixed carts? That is decided by the shipping method through its tax calculation setting, not by the plugin. With automatic handling the shipping tax is distributed across the tax rates in the cart, weighted by the net share of the line items. Alternatively the highest rate or a fixed value applies. #### What happens to my prices if I uninstall the plugin? The generated tiers remain. The plugin writes regular prices into the shipping method, and afterwards they belong to Shopware like any other price. Deleting a rule set removes nothing from the running shop either. #### Can I calculate several shipping methods differently? Yes. You create as many rule sets as you need, each with its own shipping method, currency and optional Shopware rule. Rule sets can be duplicated, so standard and express with a similar structure are set up quickly. Availability ## Through the store or *directly from us*.
