Shipping Rate Sorting at Checkout

What’s Improved?

Shipping options on the Ecommerce checkout page are now automatically sorted by price, ensuring customers see the most affordable option first. The cheapest shipping rate is now pre-selected by default, helping reduce confusion and friction during checkout.

How It Works

Price-Based Sorting:
All available shipping rates are displayed in
ascending order of price.
Cheapest Rate Auto-Selected:
The
lowest-cost shipping option is automatically selected
for the customer.
Free Shipping Priority:
If Free Shipping is available, it will appear at the top of the list and be
selected by default.
Dynamic Recalculation:
If shipping rates update due to
address changes or cart updates,
sorting and selection are automatically reapplied.

Key Points to Note

This behavior applies across all checkout flows where shipping rates are shown.
If only one shipping rate is available, it will be automatically selected.
If multiple shipping options share the same price, the system preserves the provider order while selecting the first cheapest rate.
No additional configuration is required — this improvement works automatically by default
