Flat-rate delivery
How to set up a flat delivery price, without price bands based on, for example, the weight of each product.
Flat-rate delivery costs the same whatever the total weight of the order.
It’s typically used for delivery to the customer’s own address – whether it goes with GLS, PostNord or another carrier altogether.
You’ll find the delivery methods under Settings > Shipping and delivery > Delivery methods
