Delivery costs
In the above example, picking the order at shop does not lead to delivery costs ; for mail orders, on the other hand (as for any undefined-type delivery method with costs), delivery costs have to be defined.
Blue Chameleon provides the handling of delivery costs, whenever these depend or do not depend on the total price of what has been ordered. While on the delivery method creation page, clicking on 'Delivery costs:' 
leads to a page where a number of conditions can be given for this aim.
For instance, the illustration below shows the process if we simply wish to define a delivery method that costs 3 whatever the total price of the order is. Just one condition is added, then, on the appearing line Condition is set to 'None' and Cost is set to 3. Taxes are defined for this delivery method cost, featuring as many tax categories and the corresponding tax codes as previously defined.
Now, we want for example to define a delivery method that :
- has a basis price of 3 ;
- costs 8 if order price is below 10 ;
- 16 if order price is between 10 and 20 ;
- 24 if order price is above 20.
As the following illustration shows :
- four conditions are
'ed ;
- the first (fixed cost) is set as above, i.e. with the condition menu set to 'None' while the three other menus are set to 'Total price' ;
- for these three other conditions, Min and Max fields set accordingly to the price limits defined above ;
- for the last line, Max is set to 0 to mean that there is no upper limit ;
- finally, the Cost fields are filled with the 8, 16 and 24 costs.
The details of this method then appear clearly when it is viewed :
