Shipping cost calculator
Add a shipping cost calculator to your website
Let customers price a shipment before they ask. Destination, weight and speed go in, and a price from your own rate table comes out, with fuel surcharge and insurance.
The sentence to start from
“A shipping cost calculator: destination zone (Domestic, Europe, Rest of world), package weight in kg, service (Standard or Express) and an insurance toggle with the declared value. Use a rate table by zone and weight band, add an 18% fuel surcharge, show the total and a 'Book this shipment' button.”

Questions
Before you ask
- Can I use my carrier's real rates?
- Yes. Paste or describe your rates by zone, weight band or both. They become a table you can edit under Rates and constants.
- Does it connect to carrier APIs?
- No. It prices from the table you set, which is how most small shippers quote. Update the table when your carrier changes prices.
- Can I charge by volume weight?
- Yes. Ask for length, width and height and “charge the higher of actual and volumetric weight (L×W×H / 5000)”.
