# How is shipping calculated for orders of multiple rewards?

**Introducing... Add-On and Single-Shipping for multiple reward orders!**

These are your two options for shipping out orders with multiple reward items. We'll go through set up and the best use cases for each option

1. [Single-shipping cost for multiple units](#part1)
2. [Add-on shipping](#part2)

## Part 1: Single-shipping cost for multiple units

If you have an item with shipping available for a set price (for example, $5), and someone orders more than one of **that same item**, you can choose only to charge for shipping ONE of the items (in this case, $5).

You’ll check the box for ‘Apply single shipping cost for multiple units’ in your [Reward-creation menu](https://connectionpoint.com/help/docs/rewards-creation-guide-types-set-up-editing-deleting-discontinuing/) shipping tab to ensure you only charge for shipping once:

**Why should I choose this option?**

If your item is small - like a sticker or a thin comic book - then shipping more than one of the same item is not likely to set your costs off by much (if at all). So you may want to consider a single shipping cost. However, combining might not be cost-conscious if you have larger and heavier items, and you’d want to **uncheck this box** and consider your next option: **Add-on shipping.**

## Part 2: Add-on shipping

In response to our creators' requests for easier shipping calculation, we've created an 'Add-on' shipping option for multiple orders. We're as excited about this as you are!

Under the shipping tab in your [Rewards-creation menu](https://connectionpoint.com/help/docs/rewards-creation-guide-types-set-up-editing-deleting-discontinuing/), you'll find the option to 'Enable add-on shipping costs.'

If enabled, add-on shipping costs will be applied when more than one reward (multiples of one reward or a mixture of different rewards) is purchased in a single transaction. **The regular shipping cost for the reward with the highest shipping cost + the add-on shipping cost for each additional reward added to the same order.**

To set this up:

1. Select 'Enable add-on shipping costs' in the 'Shipping & fulfillment' tab of any shippable reward.
2. Enter the desired add-on shipping cost in the 'Add-on cost' column of the shipping table below the setting.
3. Select 'Add.'
4. Select 'Apply changes' or 'Add reward'
5. Save! Always be saving!

**Why should I choose this option?**

If you expect supporters to choose more than one reward option, and/or if your reward items are big enough to warrant extra shipping for multiples of one item, this is the way to go!
