Ship smarter with our easy to use Smart Shipping Rules. The Smart Shipping Rules are part of our SendCloud subscriptions and enable you to ship faster and smarter. Never make mistakes in choosing the right shipping method anymore. This quick guide shows you can benefit from Smart Shipping Rules and how to set them up.
Step 1. Activate your SendCloud subscription
SendCloud offers 3 subscriptions with which you are able to use your own transport contract: Small shop, Large shop and the Business plan.
Would you like to use your own transport contract and are you curious about which subscription fits your shop best? Then contact our Customer Service via contact@sendcloud.sc
Step 2. Set up your shipping rule
When you are logged in to SendCloud, go to 'Settings' -> 'Shipping defaults'
Click on 'Create new' to set up a shipping rule. By installing the correct rules you can automate your entire shipping process. For example, it is possible to link a certain shipping method to a 'checkout shipping method' name. Or you can add an insured value to shipments that are above a certain value.
Examples of Smart Shipping Rules:
In order to give you an idea of what smart shipping rules can do for you, here are some examples.
- Match a shipping method to a check-out shipping method name: When shop checkout shipping method is letter post AND to country is Netherlands > Ship with PostNL Mailbox Parcel Extra 0-2kg
- When shipping an expensive product: If item name contains Macbook > insure shipment by €1000,-.
- When shipping an extra large product: If item name contains carpet AND to country is Netherlands > Ship with DHL Europlus
- Shipping to foreign countries: If to country is United Kingdom AND weight is less or equal than 5kg > Ship with UPS standard 3-6kg
Depending on which SendCloud subscription you have activated, you can set a certain number of shipping rules.
