Auctionworks has released shipping tools for users of its auction-management services. The new feature ties Auctioworks sellers directly into USPS and UPS rates through APIs (Application Program Interfaces), allowing for accurate, zone-based shipping rates for buyers.

Using the new tool, buyers proceeding through the checkout process receive up-to-date shipping rates from USPS and UPS. Handling rates determined by the seller are included in the shipping charge, helping to provide a streamlined process for the buyer. Sellers may still use fixed shipping fees if desired.
