Title: PayPal help - setting one flat-rate shipping charge
Post by: snarlpill on June 22, 2014, 04:57:38 PM
Hey guys, I'm finishing up the website I re-did for my friend's business, but am having problems with PayPal. Specifically- my friend charges one flat-rate of $5.95 per order for shipping, no matter how many different products or quantities are ordered. PayPal seems to only want to let me set a shipping & handling charge for every single product, rather than letting me set one flat-rate per order. Does anybody know how to do this? I've searched in many different ways online already, but everything I find seems to be a few years old and the options have changed since then. Appreciate any and all help.

Are you using a shipping cart or just paypal buttons? I set my website up using wordpress with the woocommerce plugin. All the product prices and shipping fees are done on my end. I don't have to set anything in paypal.

At the moment just using the PayPal buttons which link to my friend's PayPal account's payment page. I would love to integrate a shopping cart, though there is still so much stuff to do that will have to wait.

Does anybody else have experience with this and could offer some advice?

Have you tried switching to the "add to cart" paypal buttons and setting up a checkout page with the paypal checkout button? Honestly, setting all of that up will take longer than upgrading the site with a shopping cart.
