Manage Shipping Filters [Migration Draft]

This forthcoming feature will allow merchants to work with multiple shipping providers to provide the best shipping options for your customers. Often the services of the various carriers overlap, for instance both FedEx and UPS offer a shipping option that takes two days to reach the recipient. ProductCart offers a way to combine similar services and show off only the best rate to your customer.

To start using this feature visit the Manage Shipping Filters page in your Control Panel under Shipping and click Add New Filter.

Add Shipping Filter

  • Filter Name
    This is the name that will be shown to customers on the checkout page when they are selecting their shipping option. This name can be something generic such as "2-day Shipping" or something specific to your store that your customers are expecting like "Platinum Shipping".
  • Map to Shipping Methods
    This box will list all the shipping services you have set up (read more about setting up shipping services at https://productcart.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1556900 ). Select the shipping services you want to check for the best rate.
  • Display Type
    You can choose to show off the lowest price shipping option or the highest price shipping option. 
  • Order
    Here you can change the order in which the different shipping filter options will display on the checkout page. Lower numbers will display on the page first.
Make sure to click Save after filling in all the fields. You can have as many shipping filters as you need. Common types of shipping services that can be combined into one filter are: Next Day, 2-Day, Ground, International, and Freight, etc. 

Shipping Settings 

Once you have created all of the desired shipping filters, you can enable the option on the Shipping Settings page. In your Control Panel under Shipping click Shipping Settings. Under the heading Other Settings, check the box for " Filter shipping results into a single listing (no tab groups)" - then click update at the bottom of the page.
