The Table Rate shipping method refers to a table of data to calculate shipping costs based on a combination of conditions, including:

Weight vs. Destination
Price vs. Destination
Number of Items vs. Destination

This table rate works independently of the standard table rate in Magento 2 and can therefore be used side by side. The prices for the table rate can only be imported via a CSV file. This file can be created with Excel and looks like this:

Example 2

The above example is used with Price versus Destination. If you want to know the structure of all three conditions, you can export them.

Note: The imported prices are always excluding VAT.

Export

Go to Stores > Configuration > Sales > Delivery methods > Sendcloud Service point
Change the condition Fixed fee shipping price
Then select a website in the scope on the top left corner
At Condition, select the condition you want to export and then click Export Sendcloud CSV.
You now get an empty CSV file or the last set table rate with the column names in the first row.

After you have modified the CSV file, you can import this file again and do as follows:

Import

Go to Stores > Configuration > Sales > Delivery Methods > Sendcloud Service point
Then select a website in the scope on the top left corner
At Condition, select the condition you want to import and then click Choose file.
Select your CSV file and click Save Config.

Turning off the table rate is as follows:

Go to Stores > Configuration > Sales > Shipping Methods > Sendcloud Service point
Then select a website in the scope on the top left corner
Select the following value at Condition: Fixed fee shipping price
After saving with Save Config, the Sendcloud service point uses the price under Price again as a fixed price as shipping costs.
