Intended use: Order Processing pipeline, Shipping stage.

Configuration Values

You can determine how the FixedShipping component applies the shipping cost by setting component properties. Use the following boxes on the Fixed Shipping tab of the Component Properties dialog box to determine this information.

Box Description
Apply when Determines when to apply the shipping charge specified in the Cost box. The values are:

Default. Specifies that the shipping charge is always set to the value of the Cost box.

Equal to method

Specifies that the shipping cost should be applied when the value of the shipping_method key in the Order dictionary is the same as the string specified for the Method box.

Has any value

Specifies that the shipping cost is applied when the shipping_method key of the order has any non-null value.
Method The shipping method to match against the value of the shipping_method key in the Order dictionary. Used when the value in the Apply when box is set to Equal to method.
Cost Specifies the shipping charge.

Values Read

The FixedShipping component reads the following value from the indicated dictionary.
