The Scenarios section in ShipX is where you set up all your shipping rules. Think of it as a control center that determines when and how each shipping rate is applied.
You can create multiple scenarios to match your different shipping needs, giving you full control over how rates are calculated under various conditions.
Segments of a Scenario
A scenario in ShipX is made up of three main segments:
- Scenario name: Enter the basic details of the scenario, such as name and description.
- Conditions: Define the rules and logic for when this scenario should apply (for example, based on cart value, products, or customer type).
- Shipping Rates: Set the actual shipping rates for your chosen shipping zones.
