Shipping
LiveCart provides a very flexible set of shipping cost calculation methods - you can either use real-time shipping rate calculation or define rates table yourself.
Shipping locations can be separated into zones, which are highly configurable. You may set different shipping rates for different delivery zones.
Shipping weight can be defined for each product separately. Individual products (fragile, over-sized, etc.) can be marked as requiring a separate shipment. Additional per-item shipping surcharges can be defined for products with special shipping requirements.
Real-time Rates
LiveCart is currently integrated with USPS. More real-time shipping rate calculator integrations are coming soon.
Manual Definition of Shipping Rates
Manual definition of the shipping rates based on shipment weight or order total is also supported. It is also possible to provide multiple shipping choices for the customer to choose from.
You can also you both real-time and custom defined rates together, if you wish to provide more shipping choices for your customers.
Taxes
LiveCart provides very flexible options for managing taxes. You can charge different tax rates for different delivery locations. For example you can add a state sales tax for orders being delivered within your state and do not add a tax for other locations. If necessary, you can define multiple taxes as well.
Applicable taxes are automatically applied to order total on checkout.
