Standard Freight 

Info

Standard Freight 

Does your business handle and set delivery costs based on a set of factors such as order total, weight, postcode, or a combination of these? For example, your business uses Australia Post options for non-bulky items and a road freight courrier for overweight/volume items? Standard freight options are configured and controlled on your Commerce Vision website. You can set a range of carrier options and add surcharges for things such as for dangerous or bulky goods. 


  • Allow for unlimited carriers to be defined

...

  • For each carrier, unlimited charging zones can be set up. A charging zone contains a start and end postcode within a country.

...

  • Set up minimum and maximum weights allowed
  • Set up maximum volume allowed
  • Define Order Limit for no charge -

...

  • the value the customer needs to buy before they get free freight
  • Use Start and End Order Value range -

...

  • useful when

...

  • different freight amounts based on dollar value are needed (handy where weight is not defined on products)

...

  • Use volume to weight conversion
  • Use Track and Trace URL

...

  • Calculate freight

...


See Standard Freight for more extensive information.

Universal Freight API

Info

Do you partner with an external freight provider and want your Commerce Vision ecommerce platform integrated with their freight software? This solution allows your website to communicate directly with freight provider's software and automatically log delivery info with them when your customer places a delivery order.  Our universal freight API has been developed for this scenario.

 

  • Extend capabilities to connect to external custom freight providers such as Sendle, Couriers and Freight, Machship, Sherpa.
