Build The Best Shipping experience for an E-commerce business using Magento module

Amazon is one of the world’s e commerce leaders. According to statistics from Walker Sands, on average, two out of five US consumers (41%) receive 1-2 parcels from Amazon per week.

These numbers are awe-inspiring, aren't they?

The company is actively using methods of digital transformation. Most recently, Amazon has patented the delivery of small goods using drones. And now, humanity is waiting for their new brilliant ideas about improving the parcel delivery service in general.

Do you want to become the best in e commerce sales?

Take an example from the leaders. A smart delivery service should be a priority of your online store.

We suggest you use the Magento module Shipping matrix rates. It will be your first step towards advancement.

With this module, you can increase your average purchase value.

For example, if a customer purchases goods worth more than $ 50, then delivery will be free. Using this module, you can set any minimum order amount to increase the average purchase value. In this case, the number of sales and the amount of income of your business could increase significantly. And along with free shipping, your client is happy. After such cherry on top, 90% of buyers return for the purchase to the same store again.

The condition for the minimum order value in the shopping cart may vary depending on your desire and needs. This scheme will work successfully for any online store, regardless of what you sell (detergents, household appliances, clothing, or food products).

The module will help you implement many delivery options. When placing an order, the customer will immediately see the cost of delivery, depending on the set parameters, such as distance, carrier, package weight, country, etc.
