How does ZonaCart calculate shipping charges?
For Domestic S&H Charges ZonaCart computes the weight for the shipment as described above, then adds any minimum (floor) charge you specified when creating the program. ZonaCart then uses the built-in ZonalyZer zone calculator to determine the ‘zone’ of the customer’s zip code, and locates the correct charge within the rate table you specified in setup.
