You can setup the system to allow your customers to select from multiple shipping types. If you as a seller ships only by one certain type of shipping then setup the system to allow only that shipping type and your front-end store will pull only that shipping type. You can setup your site to calculate only the specific shipping services that you use. Be it Ground, Express or Priority only or all of them.
Not only can you send multiple shipping types from UPS, FEDEX and USPS - You can even customize the shipping captions that will appear on your front-end store. This way, your shipping methods will be transparent (or hidden) from your customers. In some instances, this ability is crucial for sellers. As a seller, you just want the customer to know that you can ship either by overnight, 2 days or 3 days but they don't necessarily need to know what shipping company you are going to use. This way, you as a seller/shipper will have more flexibility in shipping your products. Since the customer does not know (and usually does not care) what courier you will use, you can change the courier anytime you want. You don't get stuck to it. This happens when you realize later that one shipper costs less than the others and changing courier can save you a lot of money by doing so. INIFINICART also fully supports international shipping.
Remember: The ability to make profits is not just by selling more products, but also in how efficient you operate your business behind the scenes. INFINICART gives you efficient tools in selling your products, and also gives you tremendous amount of flexibility in operating the behind-the-scenes operations. Shipping is a major part of doing your business, so tackle it seriously. |
