Why offer upfront rates and delivery dates
Increased sales

Shoppers want options
Reduce shopper frustration by setting clear delivery expectations.
Get real-time costs
Your customers can enter a delivery destination, and see multiple pricing options.
Here's how it works
Merchants and retailers can integrate real-time rates and delivery dates (called Rating) to deliver a better end-to-end shopping experience:
- When a customer places an order, your website will call our shipping and rates database.
- You provide size and weight specs for the parcel and all eligible shipping methods and costs will be provided to the customer.
- You or your customer can select the preferred shipping method based on desired speed or cost.
