Shipping Rate Sorting at Checkout

/in

Shipping options on the E-commerce checkout page are now automatically sorted by price, ensuring that customers see the most affordable option first. The cheapest shipping rate is pre-selected by default, reducing confusion and friction during the checkout process.

  • Price-Based Sorting: All available shipping rates are displayed in ascending order of price.

  • Cheapest Rate Auto-Selected: The lowest-cost shipping option is automatically selected for the customer.

  • Free Shipping Priority: If free shipping is available, it will appear at the top of the list and be selected by default.

  • Dynamic Recalculation: If shipping rates update due to address changes or cart updates, sorting and selection are automatically reapplied.

  • This behaviour applies across all checkout flows where shipping rates are shown.
  • If only one shipping rate is available, it will be automatically selected.
  • If multiple shipping options share the same price, the system preserves the provider order while selecting the first cheapest rate.
  • No additional configuration is required — this improvement works automatically by default.
