The Problem

- ✔ Automatically adjust shipping costs as cart values change during checkout
- ✔ Support flexible percentage settings and thresholds to match your business pricing strategy
- ✔ Improve checkout transparency while optimizing shipping recovery and profit margins
How It works
See It In Action
Unlike default Magento shipping options, which don’t allow percentage-based rules, this module introduces a simple yet powerful way to align shipping costs with your business model. For example, if you set a 5% shipping rule, an order of $100 will generate a $5 shipping fee, while a $500 order will automatically calculate $25.
Key Features:
-
✅ Set shipping costs as a percentage of the order subtotal
-
✅ Flexible configuration — define minimum and maximum shipping charges
-
✅ Apply to specific customer groups or store views
-
✅ Combine with free shipping rules for large orders
-
✅ Works seamlessly with discounts and tax-inclusive orders
-
✅ Compatible with Magento 2.4.x and PHP 8.2+
Why Use Percentage-Based Shipping?
Flat rate shipping isn’t always profitable — especially for high-value or low-margin items. By using percentage-based shipping, you ensure that larger orders contribute fairly to logistics costs, while smaller orders remain affordable to customers. This approach creates a balanced strategy that protects your margins without discouraging buyers.
Use Cases:
-
Luxury Goods – align shipping costs with higher-value orders.
-
Wholesale Stores – charge proportionally for bulk orders.
-
Specialty Retailers – provide fair, scalable shipping charges across varying product lines.
Compatibility & Support:
-
Works with Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce.
-
Supports latest Magento 2.4.7+ versions and upcoming releases.
