Overview

About live rates at checkout
Starshipit uses the destination address and the total weight of the cart to return a quote for each of your couriers. Your customer can select the preferred shipping method and the order will be imported into Starshipit with this shipping method.
Before you begin
- Enable third-party calculated shipping rates in your Shopify account. Shopify only offers this to Advanced and Plus plans.
Activate the rates in Starshipit
Once you've enabled the third-party calculated shipping rates in Shopify, you need to activate the rates in Starshipit.
- In Starshipit, go to Settings > Integrations.
- Click Shopify Settings, then select Enable Delivery Options.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save.
Your customer will now see live rates at checkout.
