Challenge
To effectively manage your shipping process and easily calculate the shipping prices you need to build a highly flexible system of shipping methods and rates. However it’s hard to add custom shipping methods and rates having only out-of-the-box Magento 2 settings and features — special skills are required.
Solution
Magento 2 Shipping Suite is here to provide you with Table Rates tool that allows to generate an unlimited number of shipping methods with flat and percent rates based on delivery address, cart weight and products quantity. Apply any shipping method you create to a specific product or to a group of products.
Key settings that available for every Method you create:
Specify countries to which your shipping method is applied to
Activate free shipping for the particular shipping types
Add comment and custom image for the method
Specify the method name for all your Store Views
Set a min/max rate or sum up rates for mixed-type cart
Make your method available to specific stores and customer groups
Key settings that available for every Rate you create:
Assign rate to specific products and product groups
Set rates based on shipping parameters
Set different type of rates: percent, flat or rates combination
Specify and display the estimated delivery time in days
Create rates combinations to adjust them to any specific requirements
Use shipping types to set specific rates for different product groups
Custom shipping methods and rates: use cases
- Create a new method "In-store pick up" with 2 days of estimated delivery;
- Set Free shipping for your “Winter collection” or any specific group of products using shipping types;
- Charge $3 per order and 1% of a product price simultaneously;
- Assign higher rates to toxic or fragile products, extremely large items or items located in distant storehouses;
- Set a $5 flat rate (or percentage) for orders with total weight from 5 to 10 pounds and price between $15 and $75 when 5 or fewer items are added to cart;
- Offer free or very cheap shipping when customer purchases 10 or more items from a specific warehouse.
Challenge
Setting rules and conditions as well as offering specific shipping options is a key functionality that you need to demonstrate individual approach to the customers and to make your shipping profitable. However Magento 2 has very poor possibilities to create rules and there is no complex conditions support.
Solution
Once you have created your custom shipping method you can apply custom shipping rules to it or to any of default shipping methods using Shipping Rules tool. Rules can be based on a variety of product conditions (including complex ones) and shopping cart attributes. Apply additional delivery options surcharge, discount or replace shipping rates according to your business needs and shipping strategy.
Sometimes it’s necessary to set the list of restrictions for your shipping methods to meet legal requirements or tune cost-efficiency. Default Magento 2 functionality allows you to restrict shipping methods only for the whole catalog, but it can badly affect your business.
With Shipping Restrictions tool you can create and apply any number of restrictions to your custom shipping methods or to any of default ones. Restrict shipping methods using various product, cart and customer attributes and conditions (including complex ones). Inform your customers about the restrictions and make your shipping process both legal and cost-effective.
Create a Shipping Rule or Restriction based on:
Certain carrier or shipping methods
Attributes and conditions including postcode and shipping address line
Coupons or shopping cart rules
Customer groups or store views
Days and time
Key settings that available for the Rules
and Restrictions you create:
Modify rates per individual products or whole orders
Allow free shipping for specific products
Surcharge, discount or replace rates preset by carriers and methods
Apply mass actions for your rules and restrictions using a grid
Manage tax and discounts inclusion
Shipping rules and restrictions: use cases
- Increase UPS shipping cost from $10 to $15 or get it down to $2 to create a discount;
- Add $25 shipping surcharge for the whole order and $5 + 10% of the each individual product price;
- Set no shipping discount for the whole order, however 5% discount from each individual item price;
- Your carrier (DHL) proposes several shipping methods such as land, air, sea shipments, etc. You want to restrict only unnecessary shipping method (‘DHL ground’) of the carrier instead of blocking them all;
- Block a delivery method for a very heavy or very small orders;
- Restrict ground mail methods of a specific carrier for the perishable products as it usually takes about a week to deliver them;
- Exclude ground mail from delivery methods in case the order contains some premium brands;
- Remove next day delivery shipping method for the items that are temporarily out of stock;
- You have launched an advertising campaign with discount coupons. Offer or remove free shipping if the customer uses a coupon;
- Give an access to your free shipping method only to wholesale users;
- You’re working worldwide and have several online shops. You want to choose shipping methods for a particular store view or a website;
- You have set your shop to automatically give free shipping when someone's subtotal is over $149, but if a customer uses a coupon that drops the order value below $149, free shipping wouldn’t be applied due to the discounted subtotal;
- Restrict delivery method on weekends or on holidays;
- Hide a shipping method from particular region or customer group;
- Restrict the shipping of particular products to some countries;
- Restrict delivery to distant regions such as Hawaii and Alaska.
Challenge
By default, complex shipping conditions in Magento 2 are unavailable, therefore you have very limited possibilities to set shipping rules and restrictions. However this functionality is necessary to offer specific shipping options to your customers nad to demonstrate individual approach.
Solution
With Magento 2 Shipping Suite extension you will be able to create individual and highly customized shipping rules and restrictions. Your shipping cost might be changed via substitution, surcharging or discounts, as well as separately or simultaneously based on product and order attributes, location, customer attributes.
The accuracy of geo conditions and settings is critical for your package delivery, shipping optimization & cost calculation. However the level of this accuracy in Magento 2 is not that deep.
With Amasty Shipping Suite you have an access to smart geo settings such as address line condition attribute and support of postcode validation. Shipping Table Rates has two modes of processing postal codes: when you set postcode ranges, you can configure the extension to treat them either as strings or as numbers. Learn more from our blog.
The shipping cost can be affected not only by the actual weight, but also by the amount of space a package occupies. By default, Magento 2 shipping settings doesn’t take into account such features.
Magento 2 Shipping Suite supports Volumetric or Dimensional weight as a pricing method where an estimated weight is calculated from the length, width and height of a package. Thus, a carrier can optimize the usage of the cargo space while you will make your shipping cost-efficient.
