Shipping Customizations
Best for: Modifying the shipping rates you already have by hiding, sorting, or renaming them based on specific conditions.Example Use Case
Hide XYZ rate when customers purchase products tagged fragile.Key Benefits
- Works on all Shopify plans (CCS not required)
- Hide existing delivery options
- Reorder delivery methods at checkout
- Rename shipping methods at checkout
- Apply rules based on products, cart, customer, location, and more
Use Shipping Customizations when you:
- Already have shipping rates configured in Shopify natively
- Want to hide or show rates based on cart, product, or customer conditions
- Want to improve the checkout experience without changing how rates are calculated
- Need more control over which shipping options customers see
Shipping Rates
Best for: Creating and displaying custom shipping rates from the app using logic that is not possible with Shopify natively.Example Use Case
Charge shipping as 10% of the cart total, capped at $100.Key Benefits
- Create fully custom shipping rates and display them at checkout
- Show live carrier rates from your own shipping account
- Build advanced rate calculation logic beyond Shopify’s native settings
- Calculate rates based on:
- Products
- Destination address
- Customer
- Warehouse location
- Cart value
- Weight
- Quantity
- And more
Requirements
Requires CCS (Carrier Calculated Shipping) to be enabled on your Shopify store.Use Shipping Rates when you:
- Want to create shipping rates not possible in Shopify natively
- Need dynamic pricing based on order, product or customer conditions
- Want to connect carrier accounts and show live rates at checkout
Quick Rule of Thumb
- Use Shipping Rates when you need to create or calculate shipping prices that Shopify cannot do natively - such as percentage-based rates, advanced product rules, customer-specific pricing, carrier integrations, and more.
- Use Shipping Customizations when your shipping rates already exist and you only want to hide, rename, or reorder the options shown at checkout based on conditions.
- In simple terms,
- Shipping Rates = Changes what customers pay
- Shipping Customizations = Changes what customers see
