Rate Shopping Fastest and Cheapest Example Script

This is an example of a script you can use in Infoplus to ask Rate Shopping to search for the fastest and/or cheapest shipping options.

Navigate to the script table in Infoplus to add a new script that will automate your rate shopping to always search for the fastest or cheapest option for shipping. 

This script can be used to rate shop a variety of days by changing this parameter:

if (days <= "3")

Make this change underneath the Start Parameter Check portion of the script code. Each day parameter will be its own script. For example, the 3-Day script will be a different script than 1-Day and each script will have its own Rate Shop Carrier like the examples below.


There are a variety of Data Points that can be used within the Rate Shop call:

  • deliveryDays - delivery days returned by the service
  • deliveryDate - date for delivery returned by the service
  • deliveryDateGuaranteed - indicates if delivery window is guaranteed (true) or not (false)
  • chargedRate - how much the package was/would-be actually charged at

Example Script:

 

Disclaimer - Rate shop estimates outside the Ship Station are for planning purposes only and may not reflect final carrier rates or error messaging. The Ship Station remains the source of truth for confirmed rates at the point of shipment. We'd recommend treating any rates shown outside that flow as estimates until they're finalized there.
