(PRWEB) September 5, 2006 -- MightyMerchant, a leading provider of hosted e-commerce solutions announces the release of its new zone-based
shipping module, an intelligent and easy-to-use marketing tool for online merchants. The new module allows merchants to accurately assign
shipping costs by defining multiple shipping zones as any national or international area based on zip code or country.

"Shipping costs play a big role in online purchasing decisions," said Michael Stearns, CEO of MightyMerchant. "Providing accurate shipping rates and offering shipping specials is a great way to encourage customers to complete an online purchase. Our zone-based shipping tools give merchants an amazing level of control over shipping calculations and allows them to use shipping as another marketing tool." The new tools enhance MightyMerchant's already robust and flexible shipping options.
As one example of a possible use, an online merchant can add a surcharge to any order shipped outside the continental US, or add a surcharge to Express orders shipped outside the US and Canada. Different shipping rates can be set up for Canadian customers, or surcharges added to orders shipping to the East Coast, for example.
MightyMerchant's zone-based shipping module is included as part of the MighytMerchant e-commerce platform. For additional information, visit
