# Required information for install

* **Your myshopify.com domain.** This is the domain you visit to view your Shopify admin. For example: your-shop-name.myshopify.com

* A plan that supports ** [Carrier Calculated Shipping](https://postcode.crisp.help/en/article/what-is-carrier-shipping-and-why-is-it-required-i99pd4/?bust=1665766232255). **  Available by default on Shopify Advanced and Plus plans, or by request to [Shopify Support](https://help.shopify.com/en/support/login) on the 'Shopify' plan.

# Installing the Postcode Shipping app

* In the Shopify App store look for the Postcode Shipping Rates app or access [this link](https://apps.shopify.com/postcode-shipping-extension).

* You will be redirected to your Shopify Admin to install the app.

* Authorize the app within the Shopify app install flow.

* The first time you log in, the app will attempt to install a carrier endpoint on your Shopify account - this is a URL in Postcode Shipping that Shopify will call to get shipping rates. If your Shopify account has carrier shipping enabled then you should shortly see a success message:

| **ⓘ** If you see an error message rather than the one above on your first use of the app then it's likely that your account is missing the Carrier Shipping feature needed for Postcode Shipping to work. You can find out more in our ** [pre-install setup guide.](https://postcode.crisp.help/en/article/pre-install-setup-15n569v/?bust=1665766361764) **

* You can then proceed to set up your plan. You can choose between monthly or annual billing:

| **ⓘ** When you choose your preferred plan you'll be redirected to approve the subscription charge.
* Finally, you can optionally go through a three-step quick start guide which will introduce you to key concepts in the app:
