Shipping rates indicate the price of delivery that is charged in addition to the ordered products’ cost. The shipping price is calculated on the checkout based on the goods in the shopping cart and the delivery address. Buyers could be offered several delivery options, for example, with a different price / speed ratio. This article explains all the aspects of shipping settings in Checkify and is aimed to help you adjust them according to the needs of your business.

Checkify works with its own shipping rates. Thus, once you activate Checkify on your store, all your Shopify or third-party apps' shipping rates will not be visible and applicable. Make sure you transferred all the vital shipping settings to Checkify before publishing your custom checkout. Fulfillment processes which happen outside Checkify, on other platforms, once the order is successfully placed (imported), will continue as normal.

Shipping options block is placed under the Shipping details section of the checkout page and contains all the rates that are valid for the current order.

Each of the displayed shipping rates consists of a name (bold text), description (faded text), and price. They are always sorted from the least to the most expensive one.

The pre-selection of the shipping rate (shipping selector position in the moment of checkout loading) is determined by the Default parameter, as set in the Checkify admin. Check section 2.4 of this article for more info on this feature.

ATTENTION: Always make sure that there is at least one active shipping method for all types of orders and there are no conflicting rules (conditions) added for it. If no valid shipping rate is available for the order, a customer will not be able to complete their purchase.

You will be asked to add your first shipping rate during the onboarding process, which will be applied automatically to all orders in your store. You can modify or delete the rate later.

To add more shipping rates, go to admin > Shipping rates. Press Create shipping rate + button in the top right corner of the screen.

The conditions follow the logic.
​Minimum ~ From ~ Greater or Equal:

This means that the value starts from the minimum and includes that value (≥).

Maximum ~ To ~ Less or Equal.

This means that the value goes up to the maximum and includes that value (≤).

If weight is a crucial factor for your business operations and shipping costs, it is important to note that for bundled products, the total shipping weight is calculated as the sum of the individual weights of each item in the bundle.

Example: If each potted plant weighs 0.5 kg, then a bundle of 3 plants weighs 1.5 kg (0.5 kg × 3). If there is an additional item weighing 0.5 kg in the basket, the total order weight will be 2.0 kg (1.5 kg + 0.5 kg).

NOTE: If the checkout stopped working and cannot be completed (no shipping methods / no address form / no payment methods being presented to a buyer) please check your conditions (limits) being applied for shipping rates. Most likely there is a conflict there. You may always add and have at least two shipping methods on the checkout page: with and without conditions.

You can select specific countries or regions for which this shipping method will be displayed.

Just click on Edit countries in the Countries section and disable unwanted countries.

NOTE: Make sure you have at least one shipping method for each country you are working with.

If you want this shipping method to be pre-selected on checkout's loading, turn this feature on. For example, on the screenshot below, the third one on the list was marked as the default.

Here is some info on the default-enabled shipping rates rules and principles:

You can add the tax a shipping option. If you need this, set the switch (trigger) to the active state. But first, you should enable taxes in the Taxes section.

After clicking Save changes, your newly created shipping rate will go live.

You can edit, delete and rearrange your shipping rates in the Shipping rates section of the Checkify admin panel.

To edit a shipping rate, just click on the rate's name, change the details needed, and save it.

To permanently delete a shipping rate, click on the bin icon on the right, and confirm your decision in the confirmation popup. If the tab (slider) of the specific rate is open, there is a Delete rate button in the bottom of the screen.

NOTE: The checkout will not be completed and will return an error to your customer if the total cart value goes below zero!

Yes, you can! If you want to limit the list of countries which your buyers can select on the checkout page, you have two ways to do this:

1) limit the list in the default Shopify address form (save the default form after introducing changes). Refer to our guide.

Or
​

2) create a new address form. Refer to our guide.

Once done, you may consider limiting the number of countries seen in the drop-down menu of the Payment Methods section on the checkout page.

Visit admin > Payment Methods > Settings, and enable Use shipping address as billing address of alternative payment methods (Stripe) feature. This may speed up the checkout process, since a buyer will either have some information pre-filled or see a more compact view.

Yes, you can! For more details you can read in this article.
