Shipping (SaaS)
You can find the shipping methods in the Shopware 6 Administration under Settings > Shop > Shipping.
The shipping module allows you to configure any desired shipping method. The shipping integration is not done by creating specific shipping method, but rather by manually assigning carriers to an order in the order module. So the shipping module only serves to inform the customer about the shipping methods you offer, how much these costs and which delivery countries are allowed or blocked.
Overview
In the overview of shipping types, all created shipping types are listed by name, description and active status (1).
List settings (2): Here you can show or hide individual columns from the overview.
Kontextmenü (3): Hier kannst Du die entsprechende Versandart bearbeiten, duplizieren oder löschen.
Create shipping method (4): You can create a new shipping method with this button.
Language selection (5) : Here you set the language for which you want the shipping methods to be displayed.
Create shipping method
Basic information
Name (1): Here you enter the name of the shipping method. This is used both internally in the overview and externally in the sales channel.
Technical name (2): The technical name is used to uniquely identify the shipping method. A subsequent change to the technical name can cause shipping integrations that rely on it to no longer work.
Position (3): Here you can set the display order of the shipping methods in the checkout. A "1" therefore stands for the first / top position, a "2" for the second postion and so on.
Active (4): Here you decide whether this shipping method should be active and thus be available.
Description (5): Here you can insert a more detailed description. This will be displayed in the overview as well as in the sales channel.
Upload Logo (6): In this section you can choose your own logo for this shipping method. You can either upload a file from your computer, upload a file from a URL or use a logo that you have already uploaded in the media.
Delivery time (7): Here you can enter a delivery time. This will then be displayed when you select the shipping method.
Tracking URL (8): Here you can enter the tracking URL of the shipping service provider. Instead of the actual tracking number, please use '%s' as placeholder. Shopware will then automatically insert the correct code for each order at this place if it is maintained in the order details.
Tags (9): Here you can enter keywords for the shipping method, so that it can be found more easily later.
Availability rule
With an availability rule you decide when shipping is possible with this shipping method. The rules of the rule builder are used for this. If no suitable rule has been created yet, you can also add a new rule directly at this point.
Price matrix
Under price matrix you can now determine the shipping costs for this shipping method. A price matrix is available for this purpose, in which you can define several price rules.
This matrix can be provided with a restriction (1). Here you can select a rule from the Rule Builder or create a new one and the price matrix will only be used if this condition is met. If you do not select a rule here, this price matrix is always used for this shipping method.
To create the price matrix you can choose whether it should be based on predefined properties (4) or on rules from the Rule Builder (5).
As soon as you have created a price matrix, you can add another rule to the price matrix with the button Add new price rule (2). Using the context menu (3) you can remove or duplicate the complete price matrix.
Price matrix according to properties
If you create the price matrix according to a property, the properties number of items, shopping cart value, weight and volume are available.
Using the example shopping cart value, such a price matrix would look like this:
Here you can then fill the price matrix with as many price rules and current prices as you like. In this case the first price rule is:
Shopping cart value from 0 to 45 = Price: 4,99€
The second price rule is:
Shopping cart value from 45.01 to any = Price: 0,00€
Price matrix according to rules
You can also build the price matrix according to a self-defined rule from the Rule Builder instead of one of the predefined properties.
In this example the price rule is
Delivery country is Germany = Price: 5.99€
Assign shipping method to a sales channel
For a shipping method to be used by the customer, it must be assigned to the respective sales channel.
In the basic settings of your sales channel you will find the item shipping methods. Here you can enter all available shipping methods as well as a standard shipping method.
