Build your rate entries

Create/Update the rate entries

Updated over 10 months ago

We're rapidly making improvements and the platform may or may not look the same as shown in the video, but the concepts remain the same.

Objective

This guide demonstrates how to create and manage trade rate cards, both manually and via file upload. Starting with manual entry, you define rates based on weight brackets (e.g., 0–1 kg, 3–5 kg) and specify basic, minimum, and additional per-item or per-kilo charges. For instance, a 1 kg item from Sydney to Sydney may have a $5 flat rate, while 3–5 kg items include a base rate and a per-kilo surcharge.

  • Alternatively, rates can be uploaded using a pre-defined template, mapping entries like routes, weights, and pricing automatically.

  • The process is straightforward and efficient, enabling quick updates to rate cards for various shipping scenarios.
