Shopify Custom Shipping Rates

The Calcurates app helps Shopify stores manage custom shipping rates by country, region, product tags, SKUs, collections, vendors, cart value, weight, and other checkout conditions. This gives merchants more control than default Shopify shipping settings.

The Calcurates Shopify app allows you to create the following custom shipping options: Table Rates, Free Shipping, Flat Rate, and In-store Pickup.

You can create unlimited number of Custom Shopify Shipping Options and Methods on any Calcurates subscription plan.

Yes, with the Calcurates Shopify app you can set multiple Free Shipping, Flat Rate, Table Rates or in-Store Pickup options and apply them to different scenarios.

Flat Rate provided by the Calcurates Shopify app supports multiple calculation algorithms (fixed per order, fixed per item, fixed per unit of weight, percentage of order subtotal or fixed per package). It also can be associated with Advanced Shipping Zones or affected by a Shipping Rule to be surcharged, replaced, discounted or hidden under given conditions. Therefore you get more flexibility for your Flat Rate compared to Shopify default Shopify Shipping Rate.

Free Shipping created with the Calcurates Shopify app can be used in combination with shipping segments, rules and restrictions and therefore gets more flexibility compared to Shopify default Free Shipping. With the Calcurates Shopify app it is also possible to set up free shipping over certain amount or allow free shipping only for certain products.

Yes, all shipping methods configured with the Calcurates Shopify app and the ones configured within your Shopify admin can be enabled at the same time. Your customers will be presented with all the available options at Shopify checkout.

To set up free shipping over a certain amount in Shopify, go to your Shopify admin and navigate to Settings > Shipping and delivery. Under the "Shipping" section, create a new rate or edit an existing one within your shipping zones. Choose "Add rate," set the rate name (e.g., "Free Shipping"), and specify the minimum order price for this rate to apply. Ensure no cost is entered for the rate. Save your changes, and customers will now see the free shipping option when their order total exceeds the specified amount.

With Calcurates, you can set up free shipping for specific products in Shopify. This feature allows you to create promotional offers that attract customers, encouraging larger orders and enhancing your store’s competitiveness.

Creating Shopify custom shipping options lets merchants offer tailored delivery solutions that meet specific business needs. Shopify’s native settings allow for basic customization, but with Calcurates, businesses can introduce advanced options like carrier-based rates, delivery date selectors, or packaging-specific pricing. Custom shipping options improve the customer experience by providing flexibility and clarity during checkout. Whether offering same-day delivery, store pickup, or location-specific rates, customized shipping configurations help align fulfillment strategies with customer expectations. This customization is particularly useful for niche markets or complex product catalogs.

Shopify’s default settings do not allow free shipping to be applied to specific products easily. However, with Calcurates, merchants can assign free shipping based on product tags, SKUs, collections, or metafields. This allows you to offer free shipping only for selected items in your catalog, while charging for others—enabling more precise control over your promotions and margins.
