How does an online shopping cart program handle shipping costs?

Don't Forget Shipping Costs

Look to your online shopping cart program to connect with major carriers like FedEx, UPS, DHL and the USPS to allow buyers to automatically choose shipping options and have the costs added onto their totals in real time. If your Internet shopping cart doesn't do this, it's going to take a lot of extra work on your part to calculate shipping costs yourself and add them into the bill. Remember the ecommerce mantra: If you can automate it, you can save time and money.
