Magento Shipping Rates - ProductRate

ShipperHQ ProductRate for Magento 2

The ProductRate shipping extension is the original Magento solution developed by ShipperHQ that enables you to charge per‑product shipping fees. Set a shipping fee on each product in your catalog and ProductRate will total the charges at checkout.

For businesses seeking even greater shipping customization, real‑time carrier rates, multi‑origin shipping, delivery dates, and more, consider upgrading to ShipperHQ.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How are fees calculated when customers buy multiple quantities?

The per‑product Shipping Fee is applied, and if configured, a flat or percentage surcharge is added when multiple units of the same product are in the cart. If several products have ProductRate fees, those fees are summed.

2. Can I set free shipping for a product?

Yes. Set the product’s Shipping Fee to 0.00. You can still offer other carrier methods alongside ProductRate if desired.

3. Why doesn’t the ProductRate method appear at checkout?

• Ensure the method is enabled and the product has a Shipping Fee set.
• Confirm the product is shippable (not virtual) and you are viewing the correct website/store scope.
• Check Magento logs: var/log/system.log and var/log/exception.log.
