Rate Groups
To operate with rate groups, choose the relevant rate group from the carrier selection area dropdown and click RATE. This displays the Rate Shop Results popup that lets you rate pick.
Use the Rate Shop Results popup to select the carrier, service, date, time and type of delivery (guaranteed/non-guaranteed) that is best suited for your shipment. You can choose between the most economic choice and the most appropriate time slot. In detail, you can:
- Specify the ship and the delivery date and time.
- Choose the best-suited carrier and its service.
- Compare shipment prices based on a carrier, service, delivery date and time.
Each rate field displays the carrier's logo, service name, package type, the price with its currency and if the service is guaranteed. The rates returned depend on what's been configured for the selected rate group. This is set up in the Administration App's Carriers page. See Rate Groups for detail.
Automate your rating
Select the Pick Best Rate checkbox, if you want the App to choose the most economic rate automatically. The rate displays in the Shipping Summary screen.
