Does your e-store need a Shipping Cost extension?

Unexpected cost added when a customer checks their total cart value is one of the primary roots that prevent them from completing their checkout process.  

In fact, you will be amazed by how significantly high additional costs can affect your customers’ purchase decisions. According to Baymard, up to 50% of customers decide to abandon their casts because of high extra costs.

To resolve this problem, giving customers all costs upfront will be a great idea, especially the shipping costs and making sure no extra fee is hidden. These details can be displayed on the product detail page by asking the purchasers for their zip code or shipping address. 

That’s why your store needs a Shipping Cost extension that allows you to display all the fees related to the shipment right on the product detail pages in order to:

• Buyers are announced about the shipping fee directly on the product page and more willing to consider the shipping fee without being surprised on the checkout process
• Reduce the cart abandonment rate at the checkout page because of unexpected shipping cost
• Display the available shipping methods and corresponding fees right on the Product Page, thereby enhancing customer’s shopping experience

In essence, the Mageplaza Shipping Cost extension allows Magento 2 store owners to display the shipping cost calculator right on the Product Page. 

With its calculator system, customers can view the estimated shipping fees they have to pay for their “about to buy” items.

After installing the module, all of your Product Pages will go with a list of shipping methods and their corresponding fees. Due to this feature, online shoppers can have a quick view of the fees charged for their shipping address without moving to the checkout page.

From the backend, store admins can even decide the display position of the shipping calculator on the Product Page. 2 available options are:

• Below the product description 
• In the additional tab

Check to find the best shipping address

The greatest thing about the Magento 2 Shipping Cost is that it offers shoppers a powerful shipping fee calculator. 

It means that with the estimated fee functionality, online shoppers can place their order shipping address wherever they get the best deal.
