Custom Method Names
Method naming allows you to change the name of the shipping method shown in checkout and cart. For example, you can rename FedEx Ground to "Standard Shipping" using Custom Method Naming. 😊 Learn more about enabling and configuring Custom Method Naming.
Rate Shopping
ShipperHQ's Rate Shopping feature lets merchants compare rates between different carriers' shipping methods and display only the most cost-effective option to customers. This feature gives merchants the flexibility to select which methods to rate shop and merges them into a single result at checkout. 💡 Explore our step-by-step guide for setting up Rate Shopping for further information.
Carrier Prioritization
While Carrier Prioritization isn't directly tied to Rate Shopping and Custom Method Names, it may suit some merchants better based on their shipping needs. This function enables merchants to set which carriers are prioritized and shown to customers at checkout. When enabled, a secondary carrier can appear if a primary carrier doesn't serve a specific region.
