Sample of use

Why do I need a plugin?

Not all online stores sell products that can fit into standard box sizes, say, S, M or XL that are shipped by express delivery services.

Some stores, who often target both B2B and B2C clients, sell larger items, exceeding the size of 50*30*20cm and a weight of 30 kilograms, as well as involving cross-border trade, not just domestic delivery.

In such cases one needs a much more powerful tool to enable their clients an impeccable shopping experience allowing them to book freight right in the cart of the store. Otherwise, without knowing the total cost of the purchase, the clients may not be able to make a prompt purchase decision.

Then either the store, or the clients, will have to look for shipping cost options. To do so, they would need to clarify the origin, dimensions, weight, etc. of the product and approach logistics providers to quote them for the cost of delivery in each individual case. This process will more than likely take several days and may involve stress and frustration born out of the lack of logistics knowledge.

The e-Commerce shipping module from Agora Freight will help your clients to navigate the cost of delivery as soon as the product is added to the cart and the purchase is completed.

It is known that buyers are more willing to pay for an order online when they immediately see the full cost of the order, including shipping cost.
Thus, the delivery calculation module will increase sales of your online store even if you work with bulky items and ship orders worldwide.

Satisfied clients’ needs are the key to the success of any business. Agora Freight shipping module for e-commerce will allow you to meet the needs of your customers. You will be spared of all the tasks related to the delivery of your goods to the recipient.
