See every featureFor stores that have outgrown basic shipping, checkout isn’t just logistics; it’s context, clarity, and trust. We help you level up your checkout so you can offer rates that make sense for how your business actually operates, no matter how complex. Trusted by global brands and growing stores alike, there's a reason stores choose Intuitive. We’ll configure everything with you at no extra cost.
PackOS solves the problem of inaccurate shipping rates at checkout. When box size is estimated incorrectly, merchants either overcharge customers and lose carts, or undercharge and lose margin. PackOS uses bin-packing logic to determine which box an order actually fits in, then queries live rates from USPS, UPS, FedEx, and other carriers for that specific package.
- Mix & match over 40 Conditions to control when rates appear at checkout and why
- Charge exactly what you want for shipping with granular pricing control.
- Brand your checkout and customize the naming of shipping & delivery options.
- Display descriptions below shipping options for a checkout that converts.
- Bin-packing engine selects the recommended box for each order automatically
- Live carrier rates from USPS, UPS, and FedEx returned at checkout
- Configurable box inventory, carrier settings, and shipping rules
