Shipping Rates & Rules Engine

Hauptfunktionen

Carrier Service integration via Admin GraphQL API — Shopify calls your rules live at checkout for real-time computed rates

Rate rules by cart weight bands, destination postcode/zip prefix and country/region zones

Distance-based rates — great-circle or driving distance from your store/warehouse locations to the shipping address

Product-tag, SKU and collection-based shipping surcharges and restrictions (e.g. oversized, hazmat, fragile)

Table rates with rate blending — multiple matching rules combine (sum, max, or tiered) per your charging model

Free-shipping threshold logic with per-zone, per-collection and minimum-quantity conditions

Dimensional / volumetric (DIM) weight pricing using product dimension metafields and configurable divisors

Hide, rename and reorder checkout shipping rates via a Shopify delivery-customization Function (supported API, no theme hacks)

Per-product and per-variant rate overrides stored in metafields, editable without redeploying

Multi-location inventory aware — origin selection and rates respond to which location fulfils the cart

Webhook-driven sync (products, variants, locations) so rate inputs stay current

Admin config UI embedded via App Bridge so your team edits zones, tables and thresholds without code

Über dieses Produkt

When your shipping logic outgrows Shopify's flat rates and weight bands, you hit a wall fast: the native rate engine can't blend rules, can't price by distance, can't react to product tags, and can't hide or rename a carrier rate at checkout. The Shipping Rates & Rules Engine is a build-to-order Shopify app that ECOSIRE designs around your exact rate table, then builds, installs on your store, and supports.

This is not an instant App Store download. After purchase we run a short discovery call to capture your zones, thresholds, carrier accounts and edge cases, then deliver a working app installed on your store.

Under the hood it registers as a Carrier Service via the Admin GraphQL API, so Shopify calls your rules in real time at checkout. Rates are computed from cart weight, destination postcode/zip and country, great-circle or driving distance from your locations, product tags / SKUs, collection membership and cart subtotal — with table rates and rate blending so multiple matching rules combine the way your business actually charges. Free-shipping threshold logic, tiered surcharges, and dimensional / volumetric weight (DIM) pricing are all first-class.

Because checkout post-purchase rate editing needs Shopify Functions or a Checkout UI extension / delivery-customization Function, we implement hide, rename and reorder through the supported delivery-options API — no theme hacks. The app authenticates via OAuth, reads multi-location inventory and metafields for per-product overrides, and listens to webhooks to stay in sync.

You own a clean, store-specific app with a config UI your team can edit — not a generic plugin you bend to fit.

Was Sie bekommen

A custom Shopify app built to your rate specification, installed on your store via OAuth with the minimum required scopes

Carrier Service registration plus a delivery-customization Function for hide/rename/reorder at checkout

Your zones, weight bands, distance tiers, table rates and free-shipping thresholds implemented and tested with sample carts

Embedded admin config UI (App Bridge / Polaris) so your team can edit rules without a developer

Metafield schema for per-product / per-variant overrides and product dimensions, with documentation

Source code, deployment notes, a config runbook, and a recorded handover walkthrough

Für wen das ist

Furniture & oversized-goods retailer

Ships bulky items where freight cost depends on dimensions and delivery distance. Needs DIM-weight pricing and distance tiers the native engine can't express, plus surcharges keyed to product tags like 'oversized'.

Multi-warehouse / multi-location merchant

Fulfils from several locations and needs rates that reflect which location ships the cart, with origin-aware distance pricing and per-zone free-shipping thresholds across regions.

Operations lead drowning in checkout rate clutter

Has too many carrier rates showing at checkout and needs to hide, rename and reorder them — blending a real-time carrier quote with a flat handling fee while presenting one clean, branded option.

Häufig gestellte Fragen zu Shipping Rates & Rules Engine

Is this an instant App Store download?

No. This is a build-to-order app. After purchase we capture your zones, weight bands, carrier accounts and edge cases on a short discovery call, then build, install and test the app directly on your store. You receive a working, store-specific app — not a generic plugin you have to configure from scratch.

How long until it's live on my store?

Typical delivery is about 2 to 3 weeks from the discovery call, depending on rule complexity and how many carriers and zones are involved. A straightforward weight-plus-zone table is faster; multi-location distance pricing with DIM weight and checkout rate hiding takes longer. We confirm a concrete timeline after discovery, before any build work starts.

What ongoing support and updates do I get?

The build includes a support window for fixes and adjustments after go-live. Beyond that we offer an optional maintenance arrangement covering Shopify API version upgrades (Carrier Service and Functions APIs deprecate on a schedule), rule changes, new zones, and carrier additions. You own the source code, so you are never locked in.

Can it really hide, rename and reorder rates at checkout?

Yes, through Shopify's supported delivery-customization Function — not theme or script hacks, which Shopify has deprecated. We implement the logic so specific rates are hidden, renamed or reordered based on cart, destination or rule conditions, and it works on Shopify's standard checkout.

Does it work with my real carrier accounts and live rates?

Yes. The app can blend your live carrier-quoted rates (where you have carrier-calculated shipping enabled) with custom table rates, handling fees and surcharges. We register a Carrier Service so Shopify requests rates from your app in real time at checkout, and we test against sample carts to your destinations before handover.
