All of these custom configurations are great ways to help buyers pay less on shipping.

PAID's shipping calculators help sellers make sure they are offering a shipping solution that is providing the best rates and giving their customers the flexibility to select from a variety of carriers and service types," stated Austin Lewis, PAID's CEO.
