Allow your customers to calculate order shipping costs to locations within the US and Canada directly in the floating cart. By selecting a country and state/province, entering a zip code, and selecting a shipping method, customers can calculate how much their order will cost to ship without having to exit your store to a checkout page.
Note: Displaying the Shipping Calculator section is optional only when the Free Shipping Offer is disabled in the floating cart. When the Free Shipping Offer is enabled, the Shipping Calculator section will appear and cannot be disabled.
Enable the Shipping Calculator
- Sign in to your My Services page.
- Click the Store link.
- Go to Floating Cart Manager.
- In the Floating Cart Settings section:
- Select the Show radio button next to Shipping Calculator.
- If you wish to add instructions, special notes, or other information below the shipping calculator, you may add this content using the Shipping Calculator Message field.
Note: A message of 100 characters or less (including spaces) is recommended for optimal display, as longer messages will increase the cart size. Line breaks or paragraph tags between lines of text must be inserted using HTML. (See examples of how to format lines and paragraph breaks with HTML.) Breaks inserted using the Enter key will not be recognized or reflected in the floating cart. - Click the Save button or Save & Preview to save and preview your changes.
- Click the Publish button.
Note: By default, the Floating Cart shipping calculator displays only the United States in the pull-down menu unless the store includes Canada in the list of countries it ships to, as defined on the Foreign Orders page in Store Manager.
