SKU-Level Shipping Rules: Complete Control Over Freight Costs

Every product in your catalogue has unique shipping characteristics. SKU-level shipping rules let you define precisely how freight costs are calculated for each item, giving you unprecedented control over your shipping strategy and margins.

What Are SKU-Level Rules?

SKU-level rules allow you to assign specific shipping behaviours to individual products or product groups. Instead of applying blanket shipping rates across your entire store, you can create granular rules that account for each products weight, dimensions, handling requirements, and profit margins.

Setting Fixed Prices Per Product or Category

Some products benefit from fixed shipping rates that customers can understand at a glance. With Fare Freight, you can set a flat shipping fee for specific SKUs or entire product categories. This is particularly useful for items with predictable shipping costs or when you want to simplify the checkout experience for your customers.

Applying Markups and Discounts Automatically

Protect your margins by automatically applying percentage markups to carrier rates for specific products. Conversely, offer shipping discounts on high-margin items to boost sales. These rules run automatically, ensuring consistent pricing without manual intervention on every order.

Handling Oversized or Fragile Items

Large, heavy, or delicate products often incur additional carrier surcharges. SKU-level rules let you factor these costs into your shipping calculations upfront, preventing nasty surprises at booking time. You can also restrict certain carriers for fragile items to ensure safe delivery.

Take Control of Your Freight Costs

Stop losing money on shipping miscalculations. SKU-level shipping rules in Fare Freight give you the precision tools needed to optimise freight costs across your entire product range, protecting margins while maintaining competitive customer-facing prices.
