Shippings
Shipping rates within the Tamio API delineate the costs associated with delivering physical products to your customers. These costs are collected at the point of order placement and are clearly reflected on customer invoices and in confirmation emails.
Manual shipping methods offer considerable flexibility, allowing you to tailor your shipping parameters to meet your unique business requirements. These can be customized to target distinct regions, states, or even specific postcodes, giving you granular control over where you deliver. Moreover, you can establish bundling rules, enabling discounted shipping costs for customers who place large orders. This could serve as an incentive for customers to purchase more items at once, potentially driving up your average order value.
The shipping API in Tamio offers several notable features, including:
- Geographical Cost Configuration: You can tailor shipping costs according to the customer's country or region. This allows you to accurately cover your shipping expenses on a global scale, ensuring you don't undercharge or overcharge based on the delivery location.
- Multi-Currency Support: The API supports over 50 currencies, allowing you to provide accurate shipping costs to customers across the globe in their preferred currency.
- Postcode Filters: You can create shipping parameters based on specific postcodes. This functionality allows you to control where you ship your products more closely, ensuring that shipping is only available to customers whose postcode matches a defined filter.
- State Filtering: Similar to postcode filtering, you can also restrict shipping availability based on the state. This ensures that shipping is only available to customers located in states that match your specific filter.
- Item Quantity Bundling Rules: With this feature, you can offer discounted shipping costs for bulk orders. For instance, if an order contains more than 10 items, you could choose to offer a reduced, fixed shipping cost.
- Range-Based Bundling Rules: You can implement a tiered shipping pricing model. For example, you might charge $100 shipping for an order containing 1 - 10 items, $80 for 11 - 20 items, and $50 for orders with more than 20 items.
- Charge per Order or Unit: You can decide whether the shipping cost is charged as a fixed cost for the entire order or per individual unit. This allows you to better align your shipping strategy with your business model and cost structure.
By leveraging these features, you can create a flexible and cost-effective shipping solution that suits your business needs while offering your customers clear and fair shipping charges.
