Free Shipping for Category/Subcategory: you can now automatically specify free shipping for selected product categories and subcategories with this Rating Rule action. With product categories and subcategories, rule creation is simplified; you do not have to enter specific SKUs that qualify for free shipping.
Set External Shipments Fields: you can now define a Shipping Policy rule action to automate the selection of the External Shipment checkbox and related fields. This provides improved automation for customers using External Shipments while reducing shipment processing time and the possibility of mistakes related to manual entry. Note that multiple rules might be needed for some fields (such as Markup).
Round-Up Rates To The Nearest Dollars: you can use this Rating Rule action to automatically round up shipping rates to the nearest dollar or other increment, improving the aesthetics and usability of in-cart rate display. For example, when the Round Up Rates is enabled, a rate of $6.17 or $6.89 will automatically round up to $7.00. Alternatively, you can round to the nearest value, so $6.17 rounds to $6.00 and $6.89 rounds to $7.00.
NOTE: Currently, when specifying the Value field for Round Up Rates, ShipHawk recommends a value of $1.00 (the default) or $0.50. If Be aware that if you use a value such as $0.99, the actual rating amount might not end with .99 each time because $0.99 is added each time: you could get amounts of , starting from $1.99, then $2.98, then 3.97, and so on. For example, if the rate is $7.77, the rule would round up the rate to $7.92.Set Packing Markup Based on Estimated Material and Labor Cost: with this Rating Rule action, you can markup shipping rates based on estimated labor and material costs for the shipment based on the size of the shipping container. This is useful especially if you are constructing shipping crates or other custom packaging, and therefore need a variable markup based on estimated cost. In the definition, you can specify Packing Material Cost per Sq/Ft Material Surface Area, Packing Labor Time per Sq/Ft Surface Area for Material, and Labor Rate Per Hour.
