Why this extension was needed
Standard flat rate setup is often too limited for growing stores. Merchants needed multiple shipping options with independent fees based on customer zone, order total, and business rules.
Core capabilities
- Create multiple flat rate methods in one store
- Zone and geo-based shipping rule configuration
- Subtotal and condition-based fee control
- Custom method labels for checkout clarity
- Admin-friendly configuration without custom code
Development approach
We focused on compatibility with typical OpenCart deployments and reliable behavior at checkout. Validation and rule priority logic were built to avoid conflicts when multiple shipping methods are active.
Outcome for merchants
Merchants gain finer control over shipping economics, can map costs closer to real delivery operations, and improve transparency for customers during checkout.
