Agentis pulls actual shipping costs from ShipStation — carrier rates, zone-based pricing, dimensional weight surcharges, and residential delivery fees — into every checkout margin calculation.
Agentis connects to ShipStation's API to read your configured carrier rates, zone pricing tables, and historical shipment costs. At checkout, Agentis estimates the shipping cost for the order based on destination zone, package dimensions, weight, and carrier selection. This estimated shipping cost flows into the margin calculation alongside COGS, payment fees, and discounts — giving you a true all-in profit figure before the order is confirmed.
Agentis integrates via ShipStation's REST API v2 using API key authentication. We read carrier accounts, service rates, and zone pricing via the /carriers and /rates endpoints. At checkout, Agentis calls the /rates endpoint with package dimensions and destination ZIP to get real-time rate quotes. Post-order, we reconcile via the /shipments endpoint to capture actual label costs. Rate data is cached with a 1-hour TTL and refreshed on carrier account changes. All calls are rate-limited per ShipStation's 40 req/min governance.
Yes, if you enable real-time rate lookups. Agentis calls ShipStation's rate API during checkout evaluation. Alternatively, you can use pre-cached zone-based rate tables for faster (sub-1ms) estimates.
When a customer qualifies for free shipping, Agentis still calculates the estimated carrier cost and includes it in the margin calculation. This way you know the true profitability of free-shipping orders and can set floor rules accordingly.
Yes. Agentis reads all carrier accounts configured in ShipStation and uses the rate that matches your shipping rules (cheapest, fastest, or customer-selected) for the margin estimate.
