How to Determine the Right Shipping Charges for Your Online Store

Setting the right shipping rates is a challenge for many eCommerce entrepreneurs. 

Since we provide online store solutions, we frequently get asked, “How much should I charge for shipping?” 

The answer depends on several factors, including shipping methods, product weight, and customer expectations.

A common approach is to charge shipping based on weight, such as a fixed rate for every 500g. 

However, manually determining these rates across different courier services can be tedious and time-consuming.

Simplifying Shipping Rate Calculations

To make shipping easier for online sellers, we have integrated EasyParcel into EasyStore. 

This integration allows merchants to fulfill orders efficiently and provides access to the EasyParcel Shipping Rates App. 

With this tool, you no longer need to manually calculate shipping charges for weight-based shipping.

How It Works

The EasyParcel Shipping Rates App displays real-time shipping rates from multiple courier services at checkout. 

The rates are calculated based on the items in the customer’s cart, ensuring accurate shipping costs. 

Customers can select their preferred courier, and the shipping fee is automatically added to their order total. 

Merchants also have the option to apply a surcharge to cover processing costs.

Benefits of Using EasyParcel’s Real-Time Shipping Rates

• Customers pay accurate shipping fees based on their order, leading to better pricing transparency.

• Merchants avoid undercharging or overcharging for shipping.

• Buyers can choose their preferred courier service, improving their shopping experience.
