# Shipping Umbraco Commerce offers three different shipping method configurations for calculating shipping rates, which are: ### [Fixed Rate Shipping](/umbraco-commerce/reference/shipping/fixed-rate-shipping.md) The fixed rate shipping option allows you to configure a single fixed rate for the whole of an order. ### [Dynamic Rate Shipping](/umbraco-commerce/reference/shipping/dynamic-rate-shipping.md) The dynamic rate shipping option allows you to configure a series of ranges from which an order will be checked against. These checks identify a which range the order falls within. For each range a series of rate options can be configured. Options include fixed rate per order, a fixed rate per order item, percentage based rates amongst others. ### [Realtime Rate Shipping](/umbraco-commerce/reference/shipping/realtime-rate-shipping.md) The realtime rate shipping option allows you to configure a connection to a shipping operator to fetch realtime shipping rate estimates for an order. ## Shipping Calculators Should you wish to take more control over the shipping calculation process you can swap out the whole shipping calculator implementation. See the [Calculator documentation](/umbraco-commerce/key-concepts/calculators.md) for more details. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
