How can I add calculated shipping on my form?
### Payments

With Custom Pricing Rules you can add calculated shipping to the total of your form based on the user's answers. To get started, follow these steps:

 1. Add questions to your form which will trigger the custom pricing rule, this includes [Price](https://paperform.co/help/articles/price-field/#:~:text=%22Price%20fields%22%20are%20the%20most,often%20used%20for%20donation%20forms).), [Products](https://paperform.co/help/articles/add-and-configure-products/), and [Subscription](https://paperform.co/help/articles/stripe-braintree-recurring-payments/) fields. For this example, we will add a $5 shipping charge to all orders under $20.

 1. Select the question you will use to trigger the custom pricing rule and create a rule to modify the total as required. In this example, a $5 fee is added when the total price is less than 20.

 1. (Optional) Add any other required pricing rules. For example, we might also need to add a 10% tax when the billing country is Australia. To apply the tax to the shipping as well as the price the tax rule should be positioned below the shipping rule.

### **Gotchas**

 - Custom pricing rules are applied in order so if two rules are in effect at the same time the lower one will affect the rules above it.
