## Set up table rates

Table rates for checkout and returns function the same. You can configure them based on Location and weight range.

#### Table Rates at checkout

You’re based in Sydney and you want to offer a cheaper rate to a customer based in NSW. It’s a large item and you still want the price to increase with weight. 

|  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Location/Rate | 0 to 5kg | 5 to 10kg | 10 to 20kg |
| New South Wales | $5 | $10 | $15 |
| Rest of Australia | $20 | $25 | $30 |

* Navigate to **Settings**> **Checkout Rates**> **Courier Configuration** > **Table Rates**
* **Product Code** and **Product Name** fields are mandatory. Product Code is an internal reference value for use with rules in Starshipit, and Product Name will be displayed on checkout.
* Under Shipping Rates:  
  List the Weight|Price, e.g.:
  + 5|5  
    Up to 5kg = $5.00
  + 10|10  
    Over 5kg to 10kg = $10.00
  + 20|15  
    Over 10kg to 20kg = $15

#### Table Rates for the Returns Portal

You want to charge customers for the price of shipping back a return. You offer both international and domestic returns however international shipments cost 50% more in shipping. 

|  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Location/Rate | 0 to 5kg | 5 to 10kg | 10 to 20kg |
| Australia | $5 | $10 | $15 |
| Rest of World | $7.5 | $15 | $22.50 |

This feature is available as part of the Returns Portal

* Navigate to **Settings**> **Returns** > **Return Charges**
* Return Option has three possible values, Store Credit, Payment Refund and Exchange Product. You can define different costs of returns based on which return type is chosen or use the same costs for all**.**
* Under Return Charges:  
  List the Weight|Price, e.g.:
  + 5|5 > Up to 5kg = $5.00
  + 10|10> Over 5kg to 10kg = $10.00
  + 20|15 > Over 10kg to 20kg = $15
