Utilize Allmoxy to price your shipping costs in real time and organize your shipping schedule! Read below to learn more.
In this article, we will cover:Allmoxy provides integrations with UPS and FedEx to help you calculate shipping costs with these major shipping carriers. Additionally, Allmoxy provides custom shipping methods, allowing you to determine your own costs if you have your own delivery trucks!
Will Call:
Shipping Settings start with dictating your Ship From/Will Call Zip.
Designating this address will provide you with a precise tax calculation for all of your will call orders.
Carrier Integrations:
To utilize the UPS or FedEx, input your account credentials and follow the instructions in Allmoxy to provide the necessary information to complete the integration. These integrations send a total order weight to the carrier, which then determines a shipping price based on that weight and the method: Ground, Express, Overnight, etc.
The shipping_price variable is the variable that should be used to pull a calculated price from UPS or FedEx.
Allmoxy only sends the total order weight to the carrier. Carriers typically use weight, height, width, and depth to calculate a price accurately. Take this into consideration when customizing your carrier pricing.
Custom Shipping Methods:
If you have your own delivery trucks or prefer not to use the shipping integrations, you can create your own custom shipping methods! There are several variables available for you to customize a shipping formula, including:
- quantity (total number of items on the order)
- distance (this uses Google Maps to route between your ship from address and the customer's delivery address)
- price (total order price)
- weight (total order weight)
Additionally, you can use round, floor, or ceiling to even off the price calculation.
If you need assistance configuring your shipping price formulas, contact your Customer Success Manager! If you have complex shipping price calculations, our integration team can write these formulas for you.
Whitelist and Blacklist Shipping Methods:
Filter which customers can view or not view specific shipping methods. This option is great if you need to filter by certain delivery zones or regions. Use tags to determine which customers have visibility on shipping methods.
