Custom Shipping Calculations

Implement your own calculation algorithms. Use custom Flat Rates, Free Shipping, Table Rates (Shipping Matrix), and in-Store Pickup for maximum flexibility. Tailor exact shipping methods that suit your store perfectly.
What are Custom Shipping Calculations?
Custom Shipping calculation is a specific self-made shipping scenario and rate calculation algorithm that can be easily configured in Calcurates with zero-coding. While typically all the calculations are made on the carrier's side, Calcurates allows you to configure a custom algorithm and calculate the shipping costs within the extension. Use one of four variants of Custom Shipping Options depending on the scenario: Flat Rates, Free Shipping, Table Rates (Shipping Matrix Rates), and in-Store Pickup.
