To configure the extension and specify table rates settings, go to Stores → Configuration → Sales → Shipping Methods.

Here you can configure shipping to specific countries, customize an error message, adapt the price and so on.

To configure shipping methods settings, go to Sales → Shipping Table Rates.

You can both create a new shipping method or correct the existing ones. To edit the already created shipping method, just click on it in the table. Delete, Activate or Inactivate methods in the Actions dropdown menu.

To create a new method, click the Add New button.

Create specific shipping rules according to shopping cart attributes and product conditions. Configure additional delivery options, discounts or override rates provided by carriers to improve your business.

Key settings:

• Create shipping rules depending on purchases history, cart or customer attributes
• Apply individual rules to particular shipping methods and shipping carriers
• Define a selection of shipping carriers, available to your customers, and manage their shipping rates
• Change the rate for the whole cart both by fixed amount and by percent
• Choose specific days or periods of the validity of the rules

To manage shipping rules, go to Sales → Shipping Rules.

You can see the ID of the rules, their Status, Name, shipping Carriers and Methods, Customers Groups, Calculation and Store Views on a handy grid.

Manage all the created shipping rules right on the grid. Edit them or Duplicate in the Action column.

To perform mass actions, select the rules and choose the action needed from the Actions dropdown menu. You can Delete the rules or Change Status to Activate / Inactivate in one click.

Click the Add Rule button to create a new rule.

Use numerous parameters (product, cart, customer attributes) as a base for shipping methods restrictions.

Key settings:

• Specify the area of each shipping method application
• Restrict shipping methods of particular carriers
• Offer to customers different sets of shipping methods according to their purchase history
• Choose the types of orders to which shipping restriction rules should be applied
• Define special shipping methods to specific stores and customer groups

To configure the restrictions, go to Sales → Shipping Restrictions.

On the grid, all the restriction rules are displayed. You can see the ID of the rules, their Status, Name, shipping Carriers and Methods, Customers Groups and Store Views in one place.

Manage all the created shipping restriction rules right on the grid. Edit them or Duplicate in the Action column.

Click the Add Rule button to create a new restriction rule.

To manage all the rules and restrictions efficiently, arrange shipping destinations into areas and apply restriction rules to the whole area at once. Include or exclude from the area different countries, states, regions, cities, zip codes, etc. For example, you can easily block delivery for the distant regions by creating the appropriate shipping area that includes such destinations.

Go to Sales → Shipping Areas.

Create and easily manage all shipping areas on a handy grid, where you can see the Name, Description and Status of each area.

Edit or Delete a rule via Select dropdown menu in the Action column.

To perform mass actions, tick the rules and choose the necessary variant from the Actions dropdown. Delete, Duplicate or Change Status in one click.

To create a new area, hit the Add Shipping Area button.

If the Shipping Table Rates method you’ve created is not displayed:

• Check if the shipping carrier is enabled. To do this, please go to Stores → Configuration → Sales → Shipping Methods → Amasty Shipping Table Rates → Enabled for Checkout → Yes. Also, please check if the method you're willing to see at the Frontend is Active: Sales → Operations → Shipping Table Rates.

• If the shipping carrier is enabled, but the method is still not visible, make sure that the shipping method contains all the rates related to the shipping types of products contained in the cart. To be displayed to customers, the shipping method should contain rates for all shipping types, that are found in the cart. Otherwise, the shipping method will not be visible. If the mentioned issue is a reason, the method will become available after adding a new rate with a Shipping Type “All” to the method.

If the For products with different shipping types field in the shipping methods settings is set to “Sum up rates”, but the rates don't sum up:

1. Check if these rates belong to the same shipping method. If not, the rates will not be summed up as the setting, mentioned above, works only for the rates with different Shipping Types in the selfsame shipping method.

If the shipping rule you’ve created doesn’t work, please, make sure, that:

1. there are no other active rules, that should not be applied: if two or more restrictions are in the active status, they will be applied contemporaneously;
2. the conditions are set correctly.

To avoid undesirable results, make sure there are no active rules that shouldn't be applied. Let’s check the situation: you have several shipping rules and all of them are set as active. Rule 1 has the highest priority, Rule 2 has lower priority and Rule 3 has the lowest one. That’s how it will work when the cart contents meet all active shipping rules conditions:

1. Rule 1 will be applied first. It is set to replace a shipping rate of any one item in the cart with $0.50.
2. Rule 2 will be applied the second. It replaces the cost of shipping for the whole order at $15.
3. Rule 3 will be applied to the last. This rule sets free shipping for all items in the cart. This means, that the shipping rate for the whole order will constitute $0.

Use Conditions tab to restrict the cases of the rule application.
