Table of Contents

Overview

Offer a better shipping experience at checkout with ShipperHQ. Tailor the shipping methods and rates shown at checkout based on product type, geography, cart quantity, your packing logic, price, and much more. Our sophisticated shipping tool allows for detailed customization to meet your business's needs.

Requirements

Shopify requires your account to have the carrier-calculated shipping feature (also known as CCS, Real-Time Calculated Shipping, or RTCS) to use apps like ShipperHQ.

  • Included at no extra cost on all Shopify Advanced and Shopify Plus plans or on the Shopify plan if paying yearly.
  • If on the Shopify plan and paying monthly, contact Shopify to add Carrier Calculated Shipping for an additional fee. There may be a delay of 30 minutes to a day before this reflects on your account.
  • CCS is not available for Basic or Starter Shopify plans, so ShipperHQ cannot be used on these plans.
