Can ShipStation automatically choose the cheapest shipping option? No. However, using the Station Plus tool, it can!
Automatically select the cheapest carrier for orders in ShipStation using the Station Plus Tool to further automate your warehouse workflow. By using our software or extension to pick the cheapest carrier and service with ShipStation, you can ensure that your staff is always optimizing for the cheapest shipping cost. In the Station Plus tool, you are able to set rules for which services and package types you would like to rate shop between, and then the Station Plus tool will automatically apply the cheapest service and package type. Station Plus will also allow you to set delivery times as criteria to ensure your customers receive their packages when you promise them (coming soon).
Station+'s Carrier Rate Shopping Tool automates that rate shopping process in Shipstation so you don't have to waste time checking the rate for each carrier. Let us do the heavy lifting instead. Compatible with all workflows, see below.
