The Rate action automatically runs rating or rate-shopping for your transactions based on your own criteria. It is central to cost optimization and service selection.
Purpose
Use a Rate automation when you want Pacejet to proactively calculate shipping options and costs without waiting for a user to click Rate or step through each shipment manually.
Common scenarios include:
Automatically rate-shopping shipments above certain weight or value thresholds.
Pre-rating orders when they are created so you can expose shipping costs earlier in your process.
Running rating only for specific customers, regions, or service levels to control spend.
By automating rating, you get more consistent carrier selection, better visibility into costs, and faster order processing.
Key Settings and Configuration
In the Rate action configuration, you will:
Choose whether to rate or rate-shop, and which carriers/services to include.
Configure parameters like carrier lists, service filters, and rating modes.
Define when rating should run, based on triggers and conditions.
