Shipping Rules Engine

No-code shipping optimization

Turn shipping into your competitive advantage by automating manual tasks and decision steps to lower shipping costs and optimize your fulfilment processes.

Use the right carrier and service for every shipment

Configure shipping rules into your existing workflows. Keep the processes that work for you while automating the manual touchpoints and clicks to improve shipping outcomes.

Define how you ship with no code or formulas

  • Carrier selection Run your shipping logic using the partners and rates you already have in place.
  • Shipping rules Set shipping rules by zone, weight, method, transit times, customer group, or any field on the order record. Adjust them as your business evolves.
  • Billing terms Assign the correct billing method per customer or order—prepaid, collect, 3rd party—without relying on someone to remember it at the shipping station.
  • Optimal order routing Decide where cost matters most and where speed takes priority. Build rules that reflect your transit time commitments and margin goals.
  • Update rules easily Update shipping rules in seconds. Make changes, push them live, and adapt fast when your priorities or the market shift.

Are inconsistent shipping decisions costing more than you know?

Before automation

When shipping decisions depend on spreadsheets or tribal knowledge, avoidable costs creep into every order:


  • × Carrier choices vary by person, shift, or site; causes higher costs and inconsistencies.
  • × Long staff training periods on rules and processes
  • × The wrong service level being used resulting in unhappy customers
  • × Incorrect shipping account used leading to costly and time wasted reconciling billing
  • × Static rate tables can’t adapt to surcharges or changes in transit times
  • × Ops teams lose time troubleshooting preventable shipping errors

With ShipJunction

ShipJunction enforces the rules you define—so every shipment follows your cost and carrier logic, automatically:


  • Carrier and service levels are selected based on real-time business rules
  • Training staff takes a fraction of the time and are more productive on Day 1
  • Cost-saving methods are applied consistently rather than varying among team-members
  • Billing logic is applied per customer or order, so terms are never missed
  • Shipping rules are updated centrally and take effect instantly
  • Teams spend less time correcting errors and more time getting things done

ShipJunction is great for those companies that want enterprise level features and serviceIt does rate shopping very well. And it blends well with all our warehouse workflows and integrations.

Shipping rules to scale and delight customers

Other shipping platforms lock you into their version of how things should work.

ShipJunction puts you back in control. You define the logic based on how your business actually wants to ship. And when something changes—rates, zones, transit times—your rules can effortlessly change with it.

Simplify with Dynamic Rules

No more “IF”, “OR”, “AND” Boolean combinations. Instead of pages and pages of rules, create and apply complex business rules without confusing logic statements.

Optimize by Zone or Region

Set preferred carriers or methods based on geographic performance. Adjust your carrier strategy with data instead of defaulting to "what we’ve always done” or gut feel.

Upgrade Shipping to Delight Customers

Use expedited services when cart value, margin, transit time, or order value justify the upgrade.

Apply Customer-Specific Logic

Have customer or order specific rules, 3rd Party carrier accounts, transit times, and deliver-by dates.

Set Rules by Order Type or Channel

Handle marketplace, wholesale, and DTC orders with different logic. Same engine, different playbooks per channel.

Auto-Enforce Customer Preferences

Route orders based on customer shipping terms, including collect billing, fixed carrier contracts, or delivery expectations.

Control shipping costs with automated shipping rules

Some shipping teams unnecessarily use expedited shipping options when they are not required. ShipJunction enforces business logic that aligns shipping method to customer, order value, or transit time (or a combination).

Examples of what you can enforce:

  • Use ground service when delivery address is close enough to deliver in a defined transit time
  • Auto-select express shipping only for specific order values or zones
  • Match shipping speed to margin thresholds or cost caps
  • Prevent team overrides or “just in case” upgrades at the pack station
  • Keep service level logic consistent across channels and locations
  • And more...!
