Configuring Shipping

Now we can display products and add them to the basket, we must configure our shipping rates before setting up the checkout process.

Per Country Rates

Shipping rates are set on a per-country basis via the Shipping page in the wagtail admin. Initially, no countries will be available - Longclaw comes with a set of country data which can be loaded into the database using the loadcountries command:

.. code-block:: bash

python manage.py loadcountries

In the image below, we set a standard rate for the UK. It is possible to select multiple countries for a rate to apply to. We can also create more than one shipping rate for the same country.

Default Shipping Rate

We can configure a default shipping rate to apply to all countries we have not explicitly specified.

.. note:: By enabling default shipping, you imply that you ship to all countries. If you do not wish this you should not enable default shipping.

To enable default shipping:

• Select settings from the wagtail admin menu

• Select Longclaw Settings

• Fill in Default Shipping Rate and Default Shipping Carrier

• Ensure Enable Default Shipping is checked.

Currency

---

You can also define the currency in Longclaw Settings. This applies site wide. It is mostly semantic - Longclaw assumes all calculations & prices are in the same currency - however some payment gateways require the currency to be specified.
