For Instance

Let Suppose that we have two sellers –

Seller(S1) with a product(P1) and the seller(S2) with a product(P2). Now, if the sellers (S1) and (S2) have set up their superset name as “ Standard Delivery” and their product’s (P1) and (P2) price lies between the shipping price range, and when a customer puts these products (P1) and (P2) to the cart and goes to the checkout the customer will see the “Standard Delivery” method displayed then the shipping cost that is reflected would be the sum of the shipping price of sellers products(P1+P2).

Seller S1’s Superset Rates:

Seller S2’s Superset Rates:

Note: Superset method name should be the same either adding as a seller superset or seller shipping rate to show on the shopping cart page.

For Instance

Let Suppose a below situation:

Like Seller(S1) with a product(P1) and the seller(S2) with a product(P2). Now, if seller (S1) set up their table rate shipping name as “Fixed Rate” and cost (C1) and (S2) set up their table rate shipping name as “Fixed Rate” and cost (C2) and superset shipping name as “Fixed Rate” and cost (C3), then at shopping cart page customer will see the “Fixed Rate” shipping method and price will be (C1+C3) because Superset has the highest priority so when the superset is applicable to the cart then shipping rates will not apply.

Prioritize workflow of table rate shipping method name will work as structure below –

Seller superset rates>> Seller shipping rates>>Admin superset rates>> Admin shipping rates
