Clear Shipping Details Matter to Customers
Shipping is a critical factor in the buyer’s decision-making process. If shipping prices are too steep or final shipping charges are unclear, many customers will choose to abandon their cart. In a study from Baynard, 61% of customers said that they had left their shopping cart when extra costs, including shipping, were too high. The study also found that 24% of customers abandoned their cart because they were unable to calculate final costs up front. The shipping time also matters to customers with 16% stating that they abandoned their cart due to slow delivery.
Shipping can be a headache for eCommerce merchants; this is where our partner, ShipperHQ, a Shipping Management System for Magento and eCommerce, can help.

Show Live Shipping Rates for a Wide Range of Carriers
ShipperHQ is carrier agnostic, meaning that merchants can show live rates from a wide range of small package and LTL Freight carriers. With ShipperHQ’s advanced functionality, merchants can merely discount or surcharge live and custom rates, set rules to show special shipping options based on predetermined criteria, and offer free shipping and other shipping based promotions.
The rules engine significantly assists merchants with shipping oversized packages, perishables, or hazardous items. The quality of ShipperHQ’s engine helps to conquer challenges of offering large, complex or time-sensitive items online.
