This field controls whether the amount you specified in the "Shipping Cost" field will be the total shipping for the entire order, OR the shipping cost for 1 item.<br><br>

<b><u>Per Order</u></b><br>
The shipping cost you specify will be the total shipping amount offered for this rule.<br><br>

<b><u>Per Item</u></b><br>
The shipping cost you specify will be multiplied by the number of items in the customer's cart, and that total will be the total shipping amount offered for this rule.
Setting this field to per item is useful if all or most of your products have a set per item shipping cost. If you do set this field to per item, you can override it on a per item basis by setting the shipping cost on an individual product's record in Squirrelcart.
