AUSTIN, TEXAS – October 31, 2025 – ShipperHQ, the leading shipping and checkout optimization platform for online merchants, will be at SEMA 2025 showcasing features that help automotive retailers simplify shipping, increase conversions and deliver a superior checkout experience. This includes the company’s Tariff Surcharge tool launched earlier this year.
Automotive eCommerce often shines on the surface with sleek product pages and sophisticated branding. But the real horsepower lies in the checkout. Perhaps the least flashy – but most critical – part of the process, shipping and checkout are where 86% of auto shoppers abandon their carts.
ShipperHQ is addressing that challenge with three powerful features designed to simplify complex logistics, reduce cart abandonment and drive conversions for automotive and parts retailers. They are:
- Tariff Surcharge – With Tariff Surcharge, merchants can offset the cost of tariffs transparently at checkout. Configure a flat or percentage-based fee and apply it to specific products, regions or customer groups. This keeps pricing clear for customers while safeguarding margins against shifting trade costs.
- Dimensional Packing – The Dimensional Packing feature ensures merchants never undercharge or overcharge for shipping. By simulating how products are actually packed, it delivers precise rates at checkout. Merchants using flat or basic rate setups often absorb hidden costs or frustrate customers with inflated fees. Dimensional Packing solves that by aligning shipping rates with real-world costs – keeping margins healthy and conversions high.
- LTL Freight – LTL Freight delivers a small-package experience for heavy shipments – boosting conversions by replacing flat rates or “call for quote” messages with real-time LTL pricing. ShipperHQ integrates with more than 30 leading freight carriers and also supports custom rate uploads, giving merchants complete flexibility to match their unique logistics needs.
Together, these features help automotive merchants deliver a modern, customer-first checkout – one that handles everything from global shipping complexity to local pickup convenience.
“Shipping can be messy, but the checkout doesn’t have to be,” said Quentin Montalto, Chief Operating Officer of ShipperHQ. “Automotive and aftermarket sellers deal with oversized parts, complex logistics and unique warehousing challenges every day. Our goal is to make shipping transparent, accurate and effortless for both merchants and their customers.”
