How can you ship to multiple addresses from a single checkout? Simple, just use a Multi-Destination Shipping (MDS) tool.
Shipping to multiple addresses from a single checkout is a great feature that your buyers can use when sending gifts to friends and families around the world. Multi-Destination Shipping (MDS) allows the buyer to simple purchase a number for products from your online store, and at the checkout assign the addresses to where the products needs to be shipped – easy! MDS means that the buyer does NOT need to repeatedly visit the online store and checkouts for each address to where a product needs to be sent.
For example, if the buyer wanted to send five different products to five different addresses (whether national or international), conventionally the buyer would need to perform five checkouts repeatedly (one for each destination address). With MDS the buyer simply puts all five different products into the cart and proceeds to the checkout, where the buyer simply assigns the five destination addresses to the five products; adds any special instructions or messages to each destination recipient (e.g., a birthday or seasonal greeting) and pays for the combined order. In the background the combined order is split into the different (e.g., five) destination address orders, so you can fulfill them easier (or at different intervals).
EdgeTariff is the world’s first total landed cost that has MDS built-in, which means the buyer gets the ability to specify multiple destination shipping addresses from one checkout, and for international destinations, gets to see the duties & taxes applicable for those product(s) and destination country/countries. Total landed cost (or DDP delivery terms) is important for those buyers who are sending gifts to overseas friends and families because the recipient should NOT be asked to pay for any duties and taxes before receiving the gift!
EdgeTariff’s EDT (Estimated Duties & Taxes calculator) coupled with MDS means a true international gift shipping experience for your buyer, and the convenience of doing all this from one single checkout results in higher customer satisfaction and repeat business.
