Overview
Sellercloud offers advanced shipping cost calculation capabilities that can calculate shipping costs for each order based on the origin, destination, and weight.
The estimated shipping cost serves as a placeholder value, so you can keep track of the P&L for unshipped orders.
Prerequisites
To predict the shipping cost of an order, you will need to configure Shipping Package Types and Product Shipping Preferences for your SKUs.
Estimated Shipping Cost
Sellercloud can automatically calculate an estimated shipping cost for products. This process occurs overnight, which allows the estimate to be applied immediately when orders arrive during the day.
The estimated shipping cost on orders containing Kit Products is calculated based on the kit parent rather than the individual components. The system uses the actual shipping costs of past orders to calculate the shipping cost estimation.
To view the estimated shipping cost, navigate to Orders > Manage Orders > Open an order > Toolbox > Shipping. The Shipping Details Panel will display the estimated shipping cost.
Exclude Channels from Order Cost Prediction
The Estimated Shipping Cost calculation is applied to all channels by default. However, you are able to exclude selected channels from this calculation on the company level:
- Navigate to Settings > Company > Manage Companies.
- Open a Company > Toolbox.
- Predict Order Shipping Cost Exclusion > Click Edit.
- Choose which channels to exclude > Click Save.
