README

The MatrixRate shipping extension is the original Magento solution developed by ShipperHQ that enables you to offer multiple shipping options to customers based on their location. MatrixRate will enable you to define different shipping rates according to destination, shipping method and the weight, price or quantity of an item.

For businesses seeking even greater shipping customization and real-time carrier integrations, consider upgrading to ShipperHQ.

Features

• Custom Shipping Rates: Define rates based on destination and weight or price or quantity. For advanced features like multi-origin shipping and in-store pickup, check out ShipperHQ.
• Based on Magento Tablerate: MatrixRate is built on the Magento Tablerate module, providing a familiar interface for Magento users.
• Flexible Configuration: Set up multiple shipping methods and rules to accommodate different scenarios. ShipperHQ expands on this by offering advanced packaging algorithms and delivery date options.
• CSV-Based Rules: Use a straightforward CSV file to upload and manage shipping rules.
• Localized Shipping Options: Tailor rates and methods to specific regions, countries, or postal codes.

Yes, you can define a Shipping Price of 0.00 in the CSV file for specific conditions, such as orders over a certain amount.

If no rules match the customer’s criteria, MatrixRate will not display a shipping method. Ensure you have a fallback rule if needed.

• Check the Magento logs for errors: var/log/system.log and var/log/exception.log.

Credits

This extension borrows heavily from the Tablerate capability in Magento2. In order to keep codebase as bug-free and conformant as possible the tablerate code is used in preference to writing from scratch. This hopefully also allows for easier understanding by users.

We would like to acknowledge and thank the Magento 2 Development team for making their codebase open for such use.

The composer structure is taken from various sources, most heavily using structure from https://github.com/sjparkinson/static-review.

Assistance around composer, Magento2 structure, etc was also taken from these sources:

• https://github.com/Genmato/MultiStoreSearchFields
• https://alankent.wordpress.com/2014/08/03/creating-a-magento-2-composer-module/
• https://github.com/SchumacherFM/mage2-advanced-rest-permissions
