You can first enable your shipping module. Choose either flat rate price for all or a different module. You enable that in your admin section. Admin/Modules/Shipping.

Perhaps use zone rates and then you would do it by weight and so would do this.

select your zone country using the codes in admin/locations/taxes/zones and zone definitions.

Choose a tax class or none.

Zone shipping rates work out like this.

For example based on weight. these figures would be put directly into your zone 1 shipping table.

0.100:1.83,0.250:2.16,0.750:2.99,1.000:3.45,1.250:5.20,

The above looks complicated but it's not.

first number 0.100:1.83 is simply 0.1 pounds and the price of shipping is $1.83.

second number after that is 0.250:2.16 and that means 0.25 pounds and price is $2.16

And so on and on.

Those above numbers are actually for a UK store and were done in KG so are not accurate for America but it's an example and the stock Zen cart is configured for pounds not Kilograms.

You can specify a handling charge in there and it will get added directly onto the shipping costs. It will not say handling charge.
