The Freight Cost Calculator in practice – an international trade example

You're expanding your online store to new markets. Domestic sales are already running smoothly, but new markets bring a new challenge: pricing.

For international shipments, freight costs are affected by weight, dimensions, destination country and applicable surcharges — such as fuel surcharges or remote area surcharges in certain regions. Every market has different pricing, and rates fluctuate. Without automation, you're either guessing at shipping costs at checkout, updating a spreadsheet manually every month, or — worst case — selling at a loss.

Shipit's freight cost calculator solves this automatically:

  • The correct shipping rate is calculated in seconds based on destination country, weight and dimensions

  • Fuel surcharges, remote area surcharges and other current add-ons update in real time — no manual work required

  • You can add your margin on top and be confident in profitability on every order

  • Rates are displayed directly in your online store checkout, ERP or WMS

The result: international expansion without pricing headaches — and without having to check rates by hand.
