What&#8217;d you do with the time our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/blog\/six-weeks-of-speed-part-i-fastest-search-around\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quick Search<\/a> saved you? Whatever it was, we&#8217;re giving you <strong>even more<\/strong> time back with the latest feature in Six Weeks of Speed: Auto Rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When an order is imported\u2014whether through a selling channel or via CSV\u2014so long as you have a Service Mapping or an Automation Rule that applies a service and package, ShipStation will automatically get a rate for you. No more clicking, no more changing services and manually getting a rate again. If you change a weight, service, package\u2014anything at all that impacts shipping\u2014ShipStation will give you a second to finish editing and will recalculate the rate with the new information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part? You decide if you want to use this. We&#8217;ve made Auto Rate optional, so you can access it via Account Settings &gt; Display Options. If you turn it on, it&#8217;s active for your entire account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider how often you click the &#8220;Get Rate&#8221; button. Now that it happens on its own (thanks to automagic), you can already be on to the next task. Check out Auto Rate in action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AutoRateImport.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"714\" height=\"376\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/AutoRateImport.gif\" alt=\"AutoRateImport\" class=\"wp-image-9931\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Didn&#8217;t have to do a thing. Just sit back and enjoy the show. Here&#8217;s how it works when changing shipping settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/UpdateRate.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"378\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/UpdateRate.gif\" alt=\"UpdateRate\" class=\"wp-image-9932\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what do you say you let us do the work?
