Weight-Based Shipping Rates

If your shipping costs vary by weight, Astrocart's weight-based shipping lets you set accurate rates with tiered pricing brackets. Charge fairly based on what the customer orders, and protect your margins on heavier shipments. Create unlimited weight tiers per shipping method — for example, 0-1kg at 3.99 pounds, 1-5kg at 5.99 pounds, 5-10kg at 9.99 pounds. The system automatically calculates the correct rate based on the total order weight. Combine with shipping zones so rates vary by destination and weight. Set different weight tiers for UK, EU, and international zones.
