How do you set up Combined Shipping in Magento 1.9?
I would like to set up combined shipping in Magento 1.9 but I can't figure it out. I want a fixed rate of $2.99 for the initial product and then .25 cents for each additional. I would like that to be a rule set for domestic orders and I would also like to set international rates to $8.99 fixed rate for teh initial purchase, then $.99 for each additional. Is this possible? I can't really find anything like I'm trying to do on google. This is pretty standard on venues like ebay and the like.

Re: How do you set up Combined Shipping in Magento 1.9?
Hi @falken76,
I think you should use the tablerates shipping rate, and then choose rate-setting based on qty ?
Then setup the rates in a .csv file for Magento to use when calculating the shipping costs.
Please have a look at this for reference and ideas to your setup:

Re: How do you set up Combined Shipping in Magento 1.9?
Thank you so much. I just saw a video on youtube explaining table rates. I'm very confused. I am selling on sites like ebay and etsy where you just put the numbers in a field. Doing this myself is overwhelming. I exported the CSV for table rates, but I have no idea what I'm doing.
I want to set shipping for domestic and for international.
I want the flat rate of $2.99 for the first shipment and $.25 for each additional for domestic
I want a flat rate of $6.99 for the first shipment and $.99 for each additional for international.
I don't understand how to convey this in the spreadsheet. Here are the tabs:
Country: The video shows him entering USA, but other references say there's a number system to identify countries, and do I have to have entries for every single country if I'm selling world wide? Is there not a wildcard I could use to apply the same rule to all countries but the US?
Region: I planned on using the * wildcard here
Zip/postal: same wildcard
# of Items (and above): This one confuses me, would this be 0-1 if I want the first item to be set to $2.99? I want anything above 1 to charge .25 cents.
Shipping price: I know to put $2.99 here, but I'm confused about where to put the additional .25 cents. Would that be on the next line? For instance, I would have to set country, region and zip again, then for # of items, would I put 2-* ? and THEN put .25 in the second shipping field?
Finally
If the above is correct, does that mean I have to have two entries for every single country?
I must be wrong, there has to be an easier way. Thank you very much for the help, I'm just not even close to you guys ability wise, I know nothing about code, I rarely use spreadsheets and I have only set my things up on venues via GUIs that are probably idiot proofed. Thank you for being so patient with me, I feel like a fool trying to figure this all out.

Hi @falken76,
Yes - there will be 2 lines (one for the original price + one for add. products).
Please check this link:
https://elgentos.nl/tablerates/
Input your default price
There you will be able to choose "#items vs. destination" in the dropdown: Table rates condition
Insert rest and press "Generate csv tables".
Let me know if this helps

Re: How do you set up Combined Shipping in Magento 1.9?
Thank you. I found that utility on google, but it was in pounds not US dollars, does that matter? Can I just change the field on the CSV once it is generated and it will still work when currency is set to USD?

Re: How do you set up Combined Shipping in Magento 1.9?
Try simple "Search and replace" when the .csv file is done and downloaded on your pc.
The replace € with USD and save it.
Remember to use OpenOffice calc or similar when working with .csv files.. Microsoft products sucks.
And check saving format is UTF-8
Then try to upload the edited .csv file to Magento, empty all caches, and test your frontend
