I am interested in buying this product and have looked at the demo.
I do not see a shipping charge of any kind. If I had a customer selling tangible products, they would be required to ship.
Will a shipping module be added at some time?
Thanks,

There is a shipping charge by category. So if your category is CDs you can put (say) $2 shipping for this category. If you are selling digital media, you could set the shipping for that category to $0.
But the shipping charge is the amount multiplied by the quantity. So if you are selling 50 CDs the shipping charge would be calculated at $100. I'm not sure everyone would want this.
Perhaps a charge by weight depending on the rates charged by a selected carrier would be the way to go in the future.

We are looking into the possibility of adding weight-based shipping charges.

You have any idea when the weight based shipping charges will be available.

We have a standard rate to 30kg and one for more then 30 kg(EURpallet price)
Sometimes 250 items could be in 30 kg, so if we add the shippingweight to the category then we have a hugh shipping price.
Please advise
