    • Set Product Length, Width, Height, shipping groups, packing rules, and origin assignments for ShipperHQ in specific metafields in Shopify. This ShipperHQ article explains where to set these attributes.

Rate Discrepancies

If ShipperHQ rates do not match your carrier's rates, you may face a rate discrepancy. Our rate discrepancies guide will help you check for and resolve these discrepancies. 

No Rates on Checkout

Not Seeing ShipperHQ Methods in the Cart

Ensure you have enabled ShipperHQ for your shipping zones.

Seeing Rates in Most Cases but Not for Some Orders

If you're missing rates for some orders, it might be due to a product in the cart, the destination, or another order factor. To troubleshoot:

  1. Check your Carrier's Display Restriction settings in ShipperHQ to ensure rates are allowed for the destination.
  2. Review your Shipping Rules to see if any Hide Rules are preventing methods from showing.
  3. If any item is part of a Shipping Group, check that it isn't restricted to certain methods or zones.

Testing Shipping Rates

Within the ShipperHQ dashboard, the Rate Calculator section lets you test different destinations and combinations of items. Enter the destination address and item details to see the results your customers would get, similar to a cart estimator. Screenshot of Rate Calculator
