Shipping based on order total?

[recneps]

Forgive me if this is a simple question; but is it possible to charge a shipping amount that's based on the order total? We're converting from OScommerce and we had a mod that would base the shipping on one of a series of values based on the overall order total. For example, $10 for orders less that $100, $20 for orders between $100 and $200, and so forth. How would I accomplish this in VM? Thank you for your kind assistance!

The easiest is probably my (free) "Shipping by Rules" plugin:

But it can also be done with the standard "By Weight, ZIP and country" plugin, which is included in VM. With that plugin you'll have to set up multiple methods (one for each weight range), while with my plugin you set up one method and distinguish the weight ranges in the rules...

Thank you. I'll take a look. I currently don't have any item weight on my items - most are quite light anyway. (We're talking caps, DVDs, pins and such.) The determining factor that the store uses is dollar amount of the sale. So I'll check that out - thank you!

Ah, sorry, of course I meant amount ranges (both plugins allow conditions on the order total and the weight)...
