Overview

Freight is normally calculated and displayed at the end of the checkout process, after the customer enters the delivery address. 


The Customer Self Service eCommerce Platform has a wide variety of capabilities when it comes to calculating and charging freight, including custom connections to external freight provider APIs. This page describes at a high level what the application can do. Contact Commerce Vision for more information on any of these functions and options.

  • For each carrier, unlimited charging zones can be set up. A charging zone contains a start and end postcode within a country.
  • Minimum weight allowed
  • Maximum weight allowed
  • Maximum volume allowed
  • Order Limit for no charge - this defines the value the customer needs to buy before they get free freight
  • Start and End Order Value range - this is useful when it is required to have different freight amounts based on dollar value (handy where weight is not defined on products)
  • Volume to weight conversion
  • Track and Trace URL
  • Calculation of freight can be done using (base $ + $ / kg) OR % of Order total
