Carrier Shipping Rates allow live shipping rates to be calculated during customer checkout based on your XPS account. For more information on XPS, please refer to the XPS Ship - CoreBridge's Integrated Shipping Provider article.


This article contains the following topics:


Shipping will be calculated using the weight of shipping boxes and the shipping address. To ensure that shipping will be calculated correctly, carrier rules must be set under Shipping Methods, shipping boxes must be created, and individual products must be enabled to use carrier rates. 


In order to use carrier rate shipping, you must have an active integration with XPS. If you have more than one location in CoreBridge, you must have an XPS integration for each location.
