Hi Davy

We have fees on the agenda - but not in the firm plan yet. Priority defines when it will be there.

I have other features incoming on the shipping matrix. If you can provide the things you need, I can have a look if something is on our radar.

Hi Nicolai,

This is the breakdown of what needs to happen:

Technical Overview – Transport Cost Calculation Logic

Input Parameters per Shipment

Each shipment is calculated based on the following fields:

📐 Additional Calculation: Volumetric Weight

Volumetric weight is calculated using the following formula:

Volumetric Weight = (Length × Width × Height) / 5000

This value is then compared to the actual weight to determine the transport cost.

 Cost Calculation Logic

1. If Volumetric Weight < Actual Weight

   • Cost is based on Actual Weight × Zone Rate

   • If the total is below €25 → set cost to €25

2. If Volumetric Weight > Actual Weight

   • Cost is based on Volumetric Weight × Zone Rate

3. If Volumetric Weight = Actual Weight

   • Same as above → Volumetric Weight × Zone Rate

The packing fee is added to the final transport cost.

 Zone Rates

There are 3 zones, each with a specific per-kg multiplier:

Final transport cost:

Transport Cost = max(25, max(Weight, Volumetric Weight) × Zone Rate) + Packing Fee

Output Fields

For each shipment, the system should return:

• Final calculated transport cost (including packing)

• A breakdown for transparency (e.g. weight used, zone, multiplier applied)

Technical summary

• - Automatically calculate volumetric weight based on product dimensions

• Determine shipping zone from delivery address (e.g. country or postal code)

• Implement shipping cost logic as a configurable module or service

• Enforce minimum cost rule (€25) when applicable

• Allow admin users to manage:

• • Zone rate multipliers

  • Minimum price

  • Packing fee

Hi Nicolai, 

Any news?
