## Step 1: Open Product Settings

1. Open your form in the Formester builder.
2. Select the **Product Catalogue** element.
3. Open the **Products** tab.
4. Click the **Edit** (✏️) icon next to the product you want to configure.

# Step 3: Choose a Shipping Fee Mode

Choose how shipping should be calculated for this product.

## One Fee for All Items

Charge shipping only **once** for the entire order, regardless of the quantity purchased.

**Example**

* Shipping fee: **$10**
* Quantity: **5**

**Total shipping:** `$10`

---

## Fee Per Item

Charge the same shipping fee for **every item** purchased.

**Example**

* Shipping per item: **$5**
* Quantity: **3**

**Total shipping:** `$15`

---

## First + Additional Item

Charge one shipping fee for the **first item**, and a different fee for each **additional item**.

This is useful when the first item has a higher shipping cost, while additional items can be shipped together at a lower cost.

**Example**

* First item: **$10**
* Additional item: **$3**
* Quantity: **4**

**Shipping calculation**

```
First item + (Additional item × (Quantity - 1))

$10 + ($3 × 3) = $19
```

# Step 4: Configure Shipping Charges

Once you've selected a shipping mode, choose how the shipping fee should be applied.

## Default Shipping

The default shipping price applies to **all variants** and **all locations**, unless overridden.

---

## By Variant

Assign different shipping fees to each product variant.

Use this when different variants have different shipping costs.

**Example**

| Variant | Shipping |
| ---- |
| Red | $5 |
| Blue | $8 |
| Green | $6 |

You can also use **Apply to all** to quickly assign the same shipping fee to every variant.

---

## By Location

Assign different shipping fees based on the customer's selected location.

1. Select the **Location field** from your form.
2. Choose the countries or regions you want to configure.
3. Enter the shipping charges for each location.

Locations that are not explicitly configured will use the **All other locations** shipping rate.

**Example**

| Location | Shipping |
| ---- |
| India | $5 |
| United States | $12 |
| All other locations | $20 |

This setting applies the same shipping fee to **all variants** for each location.

---

## By Location per Variant

Configure shipping based on **both** the selected variant and the customer's location.

This is the most flexible option and allows every variant to have different shipping rates for different destinations.

**Example**

| Variant | India | United States |
| ---- |
| Red | $5 | $10 |
| Blue | $7 | $12 |
| Green | $6 | $11 |
