Key Features:

• ORIGIN ZIP CODE FOR EACH ITEM: When working with dropshippers and wholesalers your products may be shipping from numerous locations. This feature allows you to designate the zip code from which the item ships from and allows you to create shipping rules for each zip code. With this feature you can designate the courier, the rate, markups and even free shipping.
• DIMENSIONS: With the introduction of dimensional weight from shipping couriers, shipping cost based on items weight alone doesn't always return accurate rates. With Advanced Shipping Manager you can set the dimensions of any item in order to properly calculate shipping costs.
• BLOCK SHIPPING METHODS: Block any shipping method(s) from being used when it is not compatible with specific item(s) that have been added to the shopping cart. The ability to block shipping methods in your store saves your customer service department time and makes it clear to your customers what shipping options are available.
• SHIP INDIVIDUAL ITEMS ALONE: Do you have specific products that must be shipped alone? With this feature you can designate specific products as Ship Alone and use your existing shipping rules to calculate shipping or you can override those rates with a specific flat rate.
• MULTI-BOX ITEMS: With this feature you can set the weight and dimensions (dimensions are optional) of your products that ship in multiple boxes eliminating any miscalculations due to not being able to specify your items multiple boxes. For example: your online store ships furniture and one of your products is a large unassembled couch that ships in 3 separate boxes. With this feature you can set the number of boxes to 3 and set the weight and dimensions of each box.
• SHIPPING TABLES: Create a shipping rule table that calculates shipping as designated in your own shipping table based on weight, order total or a flat rate. You can assign a dollar charge or a real time rate to any range allowing you to dial in your rates perfectly!
• REAL-TIME SHIPPING RATES: Offer real-time rates for UPS, FedEx, USPS, and Canada Post for domestic and international orders. Choose to use either your negotiated / discounted rates or the published rates to give your customers the most up-to-date shipping rates available.
• DROPSHIPPER MARKUPS: Set markups for items that come from dropshippers. You can even specify individual markups for each of your dropshippers locations, when customers check out with items from multiple dropshippers, the dropshipper markup feature will add all the markups together to simplify this potentially complex shipping scenario in your store.
• MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SHIPPING RATE SETTINGS: Every shipping method you create can be assigned a minimum or a maximum shipping rate. With one simple rule you can create a $5 shipping minimum that will automatically increase when the courier calculated rates are higher and you can set a maximum for that same method to never charge more than $50.
• MARKUPS AND MARKDOWNS ON SHIPPING RATES: Set a markup or markdown for any shipping method available in your store. You can use a flat dollar amount and/or a percentage. This feature is particularly useful for adding handling charges.
• MARKUPS AND MARKDOWNS FOR INDIVIDUAL ITEMS: Set a markup or markdown as a flat dollar amount for any individual item you sell in your store. This feature is particularly useful for adding handling charges or to cover the cost of special packing materials for specific items.
• MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM ORDER VALUE SETTINGS:This function allows you to create create complex rules that mix and match flat rates and courier calculated rates depending on order value.
• DIVIDE OVERWEIGHT SHIPMENTS:Set a maximum weight for your shipping calculations, automatically splitting the order into multiple packages, keeping the weight of the shipment under your defined maximum weight. This feature is useful for merchants that have special pricing on specific box weights allowing you to always keep your package weight in the optimum range.
• FLAT SHIP RATES WITH QUANTITY DISCOUNT OPTION: Set a flat fee for specific item(s) to override shipping rates. Optionally, you can set the rates to automatically discount based on the quantity of the items ordered. Flat fee shipping rates can also be applied to groups of items.
• GROUP FLAT RATE SHIPPING: Override real time rates in your store by setting a flat rate for specific groups of items, this allows you to offer a flat rate on a single group of items regardless of how many are ordered.
• GLOBAL FREE SHIPPING WITH EXCLUSIONS:Advanced Shipping Manager allows you to have better control and more options for your Global Free Shipping settings. With this feature you can even set a specific order value that turns on free shipping. You can also prevent free shipping from being applied for overweight items and exclude certain items from free shipping on an item by item basis.
• BLOCK P.O. BOX DELIVERY: Stop the problem before it starts and prevent customers from entering a P.O. Box as a shipping address. Shipments to P.O. Boxes can cost your business valuable time and money.
• SATURDAY DELIVERY: Offer Saturday delivery for UPS Next Day Air, FedEx Priority Overnight and FedEx First Overnight and choose which days to allow your customers to select this method. This gives your customers the option of receiving their order when they need it, without the constraints of the typical Monday-Friday delivery schedule.
• WEIGHT SURCHARGES - ADD EXTRA POUNDS TO BOX WEIGHT: Set a number of pounds to be automatically added to every package to account for packaging materials.
• SHIPPING COURIER BACKUP: The Shipping Courier Backup feature adds a level of protection to your store by allowing UPS and FedEx to backup each other in the event of their API going down, this means Advanced Shipping Manager will always return rates.
• SHOPPING CART SIMULATOR: Quickly and easily test Shipping Rates for your store with the Shopping Cart Simulator feature. No need to place a test order!
