Understanding Live Shipping Rates
Live shipping rates allow you to offer your customers real-time shipping options at checkout, calculated directly from carrier services like UPS, FedEx, or USPS. This gives your customers up-to-date pricing based on their delivery location and selected shipping method.
You can create multiple shipping options such as Standard Shipping, Expedited Shipping, or Overnight Shipping. Within each shipping option, you can select several carrier services, and the most affordable rate for each option will automatically be shown to the customer at checkout.
When setting up live rates, be sure to choose both domestic and international services if you ship to multiple regions. Offering a range of shipping options lets your customers choose their preferred delivery speed and cost, enhancing their overall checkout experience.
