Shipping costs are becoming a major factor in the purchasing of a product. Most stores won’t allow you calculate shipping until you’ve actually added the product to the cart. Now, with the Item Page Shipping Calculator from Solid Cactus your customers can simply enter their zip code on the item page and retrieve real-time rates for UPS, USPS and FedEx without having to load a new page.

For added convenience, zip codes are then stored in a cookie to pre-populate zip code fields for future item views, making rates accessible from any item page.

Calculating shipping costs on the item page help to reduce risk of shopping cart abandonment. How? Statistics show over 41% of users utilize the shopping cart for research related to shipping charges. Many then leave the site without making a purchase. Calculating shipping charges right from the item page eliminates this problem and makes the shopping experience easier for your customers.
