It’s important that when you sell online, you have a suitable shipping system built in that allows you to charge the correct shipping amount when a customer orders, but also to ensure its a seamless process for the customer.
A good ecommerce
website will:
Charge a simple flat cost for any order to customers throughout the country. Great if you sell products of a similar weight and/or volume. Give customers confidence and knowledge of shipping costs upfront, making it easier for them to make a purchased decision.
If you’re enticing users to buy more / spend more, you can offer simple ‘free shipping’ thresholds on your website. So orders $99 or over for instance get free shipping. Otherwise they pay a flat-rate charge.
If you have products of variable volume and weight, then you can consider using our weight based shipping calculations. Our websites automatically take the customers order and calculates the total volume and weight - before running these values against an array of regions / locations. The relevant price is determined based on the order value.
Easily charge shipping rates that vary based on the quantity of product purchased. Great if you sell products of similar size and/or volume. This is a less popular module compared with the weight base option, but great for bulk product.
RAZOR Web Design can integrate with third party shipping systems so that shipping information and charges are automatically generated based on destination, weight & volume of orders. We can even fully automate the process so courier labels are generated and booked for pickup.
Some options include:
If you have a retail store, the click & collect feature allows your customers to request to collect their order from your store, rather than have it shipped to their door.
This will simply skip any payment charges and notify you of their desire to collect the order when it is ready.
At RAZOR Web Design we are constantly creating and tailoring shipping modules for clients so they can have their new website correctly charge-out shipping costs. If you don’t see the option you were looking for above, please contact us so we can help get your new website integrating with your preferred shipping process.
Please note, third party and custom shipping modules incur additional setup fees depending on the specific requirements.
