About order proportional costing
In this article, we'll cover:
Shipping, and Discount amounts are automatically proportioned to each product order line item in the Order depending on their relative cost.
For example, suppose you have created an order containing 3 products:
| Product | Quantity | Total Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Hat | 1 | $10 |
| Red Hat | 1 | $30 |
| Green Hat | 1 | $100 |
| Total | $140 |
Shipping calculation
Shipping Allocation:
- Blue Hat:
- Percentage of $ in relation to the total cost (**): approximately **%
- Calculated shipping for Blue Hat: approximately $.**
- Fully landed cost for Blue Hat: approximately $.**
- Red Hat:
- Percentage of $ in relation to the total cost ($**): approximately **%
- Calculated shipping for Red Hat: approximately $**
- Fully landed cost for Red Hat: approximately $**
- Green Hat:
- Percentage of $ in relation to the total cost ($**): approximately **%
- Calculated shipping for Green Hat: approximately $**
- Fully landed cost for Green Hat: approximately $**
The total Shipping applied to the Order is $10.
As the Green Hat’s total price represents 71% of the total item price of the order, the proportional shipping amount is calculated as 71% of $10, which is $7.14.
This amount is added to the individual totals of the order line items and then factored into the product or variation profitability calculations.
| Material | Quantity | Total Cost | Shipping* | Landed Cost* |
| Blue Hat | 1 | $10 (7.14%) | ~$0.71 | ~$10.71 |
| Red Hat | 1 | $30 (21.43%) | ~$2.14 | ~$32.14 |
| Green Hat | 1 | $100 (71.43%) | ~$7.14 | ~$107.14 |
| Total | $140 | $10 | $150 |
Discount calculation
Craftybase also accounts for discounts proportionally when calculating the fully landed cost. For example, if a total discount of $5 is applied to the purchase, here's how the discounts are broken down:
| Material | Quantity | Total Cost | Shipping* | Discount* | Landed Cost* |
| Blue Hat | 1 | $10 (7.14%) | ~$0.71 | ~$0.36 | ~$10.35 |
| Red Hat | 1 | $30 (21.43%) | ~$2.14 | ~$1.05 | ~$31.09 |
| Green Hat | 1 | $100 (71.43%) | ~$7.14 | ~$3.55 | ~$103.59 |
| Total | $140 | $10 | $5 | $145 |
