Premium Matrixrate (Advanced Matrix Rate) - FREE

Premium MatrixRate builds on our MatrixRate extension to give you even more control over your shipping rates. You can still offer multiple shipping options to customers according to their destinations. But Premium MatrixRate's extra features give you the versatility to customize your rates based on any combination of price, quantity and weight rules.

This extension also simplifies your administrative work – making it easier and faster for you to define, maintain and modify your shipping rates.

Product Rate - FREE

The Product Rate extension gives you the ability to set your shipping rates on a product-by-product basis in Magento. Enter shipping rates for each of your products in the control panel and Product Rate will calculate the total shipping charge when your customers go to checkout.

This extension also gives you control of how shipping is calculated on multiple items. For example, you can add a flat or percentage surcharge on the shipping fee when there is more than one of the same product in the cart.

Product Matrix - $329.99 (WebShopApps most popular shipping app!)

Product Matrix enables you to define your rates according to any combination of destination, product, price, quantity, weight and customer group rules.

You can also create 'shipping groups' to categorize your products and define shipping rates. For example, you could assign one rate for books, another for CDs and yet another for DVDs.

Keep things simple, or customize your shipping rates right down to the individual product level. With Product Matrix you can tailor your shipping rules to suit your unique product set and customer base.
