Configuring additional item shipping

Hi,
I have a set price for shipping and i would like to be able to configure it to have a lesser shipping price for each additional item. Is there a way to do that? For example each item costs $8.00 to ship each additional item costs $1.00.
Thanks,
Scott

How would i add several prices based on the quantity? Also in regards to price per product if i set the price per product to 22 (since all my products have one of two prices) it will add x shipping rate to all products that are 22? just want to make sure i understand it correctly. Sorry for my ignorance first time setting up an e-commerce site. Thanks for the help!

You can restrict each shipping methods on the product weight (if the weight is the same as Nicolas said) or use the product volume to determine the quantity of products added in cart.

If you set a weight of, for example, 100g for each products so create a shipping methods from 0g to 300g for 0 to 3 products, another one from 301g to 600g for 4 to 6 products with a lower price per product, etc.

Hope this will help you.

Hi,
Thats where i am confused if i want to set the extra shipping for 2 to 4 products i would set that in the volume section? I thought the volume was for m yrds cm etc...

Yes the volume is for m, yrds, cm ... but if you don't use the volume for your products, you can set it and use it for the shipping methods.
It's the easiest way to achieve you request.

But if you were using volumes on your products, so you will need another solution, probably requesting some PHP development.
