• What is Carrier Shipping, why is it required, and which Shopify plan has it?

  Carrier Shipping or Carrier Calculated Shipping is a module within your Shopify store which facilitates your store's ability to retrieve rates from an external shipping app. This module is often confused with traditional carriers such as TNT, FedEx, Australia Post and many more. These are traditional shipping carriers but they are not what Shopify calls 'Carrier Shipping'. Shopify limits which stores have access to this feature. Below you'll identify which plans can support it, and which can'tPopular

• Why are my rates duplicated on the Store Checkout but the App Sandbox works correctly?

  If you're seeing your rates getting duplicated on your store checkout, although on the App Sandbox the tests work correctly, there are two main reasons for this; Multi-Location and Shopify Profiles.

• What does 'Catchall' mean and when should I use it?

  The 'catch-all' field is an option when creating a new Region, and determines whether the Region is a fallback that will be applied in the event that there are no other Regions that match the destination address of an order. Basically, it catches all the postcodes not listed in other regions. So, having at least one catchall RegionSome readers

• Why are there other rates displaying at checkout?

  If your customers are seeing other rates during checkout that you didn’t configure with Postcode Shipping, you might have some rates setup in your Shopify Admin you do not need. If you've setup rates directly in Shopify Admin, then they will display during the checkout process alongside the rates you have setup in Postcode Shipping. The app will not block other rates configured in your Shopify Admin. It’s worthwhile double checking your Shopify Admin and deleting any unnecessary rates. See ouFew readers

• Edit or change the checkout errors text in Shopify?

  In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to edit the notice displayed to your Shopify customers when there are no shipping rates available to them.

• Why am I getting a rate called 'Shipping' that I didn't setup?

  If you are seeing a rate called "Shipping" with no description, and you're 100% sure you didn't setup this rate, then it's quite likely that you are seeing a consolidated rate. This happens when Shopify sends multiple requests to Postcode Shipping because products are in different locations or belong to different shipping profiles (or product groups), and the rates that are sent back do not have the same titles. In this scenario, Shopify takes the cheapest rate from each request, sums theFew readers

• Does this app integrate rates from traditional shipping carriers such as TNT, FedEx, UPS, and Australia Post etc?

  Postcode Shipping does not integrate rates from traditional shipping carriers (not to be confused with Carrier Shipping) such as UPS, TNT, FedEx, Australia Post etc. The Postcode Shipping platform has been designed to allow you to setup more complex pricing tiers than these shipping carriers offer. The app gives you more control over shipping prices and shipping areas than Shopify or these shFew readers

• Is it possible for the Shipping Rate rules to be applied after a discount has been applied to an order?

  That is a good question and unfortunately the answer is no. Shopify has set up carrier rates (rates provided by an app or third party) so they are based on the total value of the cart, before any discounts are applied. Because of this it's not possible to apply Rate rules to the cart value after the discount has been applied. We suggest you consider this when setting free-shipping thresholds and other Rate rules.Few readers

• Can we sort rates so they display in a specific order?

  Unfortunately, no this is not possible. Shopify doesn't allow rates to be re-ordered or sorted in any way. Shopify sorts rates by their value only.Few readers

• Does Postcode Shipping work with Google Merchant Center?

  Unfortunately, our app doesn't integrate with Google Merchant Center. To give you a high-level overview, our app communicates only with Shopify, specifically during the checkout phase. When a customer requests shipping rates, Shopify sends us information about the destination and cart, we compute rates and send them back to Shopify. Shopify then processes that response and depending on the settings in Shopify itself, it will display some or all of these rates. That's about the extent of oFew readers

• If I change my store theme, will it affect what I’ve set up in the app?

  No, if you change your store theme this will not affect anything you have set up in the Postcode Shipping app. All of the rates and settings you create in Postcode Shipping operate independently from Shopify, and the app simply displays your shipping rates in the standard checkout flow. This means the rates aren't affected by the theme or vice versa. So, feel free to update your store theme whenever you want; everything in the app will remain the same.Few readers

• Does the app support Shopify multiple currencies?

• Does the app work with Shopify Markets?

  Postcode Shipping allows you to set your rates on your store currency.

• Can I use this app to limit rates for my local area by postcode?

  Yes, you can offer different rates for your local area, and target the area by postcode. You can set that up by creating a Region for the local area with one Rate, and another Region for other areas with a different Rate. The first Region is defined by postcode and the second Region is usually a 'catch all' which picks up all other postcodes.

• Will this app work on my plan type?

• Shopify Back-up rate instead of the Postcode Shipping rate

  We understand that having Shopify display a backup rate instead of the shipping rates you've set in your Postcode Shipping app is unexpected. The Shopify-powered backup shipping rates are activated in your Shopify store by default for all delivery profiles and shipping zones when you're relying on a third-party to calculate shipping rates at checkout (such as our Postcode Shipping app). Normally, the Shopify backup rates will apply if the third-party shipping app doesn't respond within 10 seFew readers

• Reorganize rates at checkout or preselect a rate

  By default, Shopify organizes shipping rates from the cheapest to the most expensive. The checkout will always pre-select the first rate (which is the cheapest rate, in alphabetical order). Postcode Shipping can’t make changes to which shipping rate is pre-selected or how rates are organized. It's Shopify who controls the checkout page and doesn't allow third-party apps to make that type of modification.Few readers
