PAID, Inc. Announces Real-Time Carrier Calculated Shipping Rates for Magento


WESTBOROUGH, MA--(Marketwired - Jan 13, 2015) - PAID, Inc. (OTCQB: PAYD) a leading provider of multi-carrier real-time shipping rates, is proud to announce its plugin module for Magento, an ecommerce platform.

This enhanced shipping calculator integration provides sellers with superior carrier-calculated rate functionality compared to table rate and flat-fee shipping calculations. PAID's shipping rate engine helps sellers maximize their sales by providing the most accurate real-time rates from UPS, USPS, Fedex and DHL.

The advanced rating and packaging algorithms also help sellers and customers take advantage of such capabilities as dimensional rates, flat-rate box qualifications and on-demand services.

"With the new dimensional weight pricing systems rolled out by UPS and FedEx, sellers that are not prepared could be losing as much as 50% by underquoting shipping rates," stated Austin Lewis, PAID's CEO. "Our system has been calculating accurate carrier flat-rate, physical weight and dimensional weight shipping calculations for over a decade."

Along with providing real-time carrier rates, sellers can also take advantage of other features:

  • No need to worry updates, we automatically deliver up-to-date carrier rates
  • Intelligent packaging for multiple items
  • Setting configurations that account for packaging weight
  • Determine dimensional weight, compared to package weight automatically
  • Calculate for USPS and FedEx Flat Rate Boxes & Envelopes
  • Compare flat rate box to the regular carrier-calculated rate
  • Charge handling by a percentage per order, fixed fee per item or per package
  • Accurately calculate insurance based on value
  • Discount shipping or free shipping based on order price or specified shipping service
  • Wide variety of custom configurable options
  • Configure "Local Pickup" and/or "Local Delivery" as shipping options

PAID's shipping calculators are powered by the AuctionInc platform, and the Magento module is our newest plugin added to our growing line of shipping calculator products. Along with providing real-time carrier rates, we offer the ability to configure handling, packaging material weight, insurance, and shipping discounts.
