Shippings costs

Shipping Costs Configuration​

By default, all communes (comunas) have a shipping cost of 0 in APIO.
Merchants can configure shipping prices by uploading pricing rules that override this default behavior.

CSV Upload by Commune​

To set shipping costs per commune, merchants must upload a CSV file with the following format:

Comuna;Price Santiago;4990 Providencia;3990 Ñuñoa;4500

  • Comuna: Name of the commune (as defined in APIO)
  • Price: Shipping cost expressed as an integer amount (e.g. CLP)

Only the communes included in the CSV file will have their shipping cost updated.

Tier-Based (Range) Shipping Prices​

APIO also supports shipping cost ranges (tramos) based on the order total.

This allows merchants to define rules such as:

  • Orders between 0 and 29,990 CLP → Shipping cost: 4,990 CLP
  • Orders above 29,990 CLP → Shipping cost: 0 CLP (free shipping)

These tiers are evaluated at checkout time and applied automatically based on the cart total.

Combining Commune and Tier Rules​

  • Commune-based pricing defines where the order is shipped
  • Tier-based pricing defines how much shipping costs based on order value

APIO evaluates these rules during checkout to determine the final shipping cost.

Key Notes​

  • Default shipping cost for all communes is 0
  • CSV uploads allow bulk configuration by commune
  • Tier-based shipping enables free-shipping thresholds
  • All calculations happen at checkout time

This flexible configuration allows businesses to adapt shipping costs to both geography and order value.
