Overview
The MatrixRate shipping extension provides the original multiple table rate shipping calculation solution for Magento websites, allowing shipping rates to be calculated using the following criteria:
- Destination
- Weight, Price, or Quantity
Summary
A multiple table rate solution allows the Magento administrator to define multiple possible shipping rates to display to a customer. For example, let’s say you want to offer Standard and Next Day Delivery, with different prices to UK and Europe. MatrixRate meets this need.

Capabilities
MatrixRate has the following additional capabilities:
- Completely CSV driven, no coding required to change prices, add rates, etc
- Allows multiple postage rates to be displayed for the customer to choose in particular country/city/region/ZIP code/condition range, where condition can be weight, price or #items
- ZIP code based filtering. Can either use the basic “starts with” criteria, or more complex pattern matching
- Support for numerical ZIP code ranges – e.g. specify a price that applies to all postcodes within the range 9755-9999
- To be able to specify an upper and lower boundary for price, weight, or quantity vs destination rates
The management of shipping rates is done via a CSV file, which is uploaded to the database. Shipping calculations are then done via SQL searches, providing efficient results.
