Delivery choice FAQs
How can retailers offer same-day delivery for online orders?
Same-day delivery works best when stock is close to the shopper and your cut-off times, courier service and store processes are clear. A ship-from-store model ship-from-store can help retailers fulfil online orders from local retail stock. Starshipit supports in-store fulfilment, but same-day availability depends on your carrier and operating setup.
What delivery options can I offer at checkout?
Offer standard, express or same-day services when they are available through your connected carriers. Starshipit displays eligible choices at checkout before payment, allowing shoppers to weigh up speed and cost. The exact options shown depend on the destination, cart details and your checkout-rate configuration.
How do I give customers delivery choices at checkout?
Show delivery choices at checkout by configuring the carrier services, prices and rules that apply to each order. Starshipit uses the cart’s weight, dimensions and destination, then can apply margins, free-shipping thresholds or location-based rules before returning the available rates.
How do live shipping rates work at checkout?
Live shipping rates return the current price from eligible carrier services instead of relying on a single flat estimate. Starshipit calculates the available options from the cart and destination. Keeping product weights and dimensions accurate gives customers a more dependable quote at checkout.
