App reviews, troubleshooting, and recommendations
Good Afternoon Everyone,
Just want to know if anyone could steer us in the right direction, we are setting up an online shop for delivery of services to the local area. We price depending on location, specifically postcode. I havent been able to identify an app or a native way of making this work. Any pointers would be greatly appricated.
Thanks
Ed.
Hello DunmowGroup,
Its good to know that that you are setting up an online shop for delivery services. From your requirements, i see that you need delivery price based on postcode but as per Shopify, you can set up custom shipping rates if you have CCL(Carrier Calculated Shipping) enabled. By default only ADVANCED & PLUS shopify plans support CCL.
What if you have a Basic or Shopify plan?
It is not necessary to choose the advance plan of the shopify subscription but here are the different options to enable the “Third-party calculated shipping rates” on “Basic Shopify” or “Shopify” Plan.
1) Annual pay of any Basic or Shopify plan to enable this Third-party calculated shipping rates. Annual pay of any basic or shopify plan to enable this Third-party calculated shipping rates.
OR
You have to pay $20/Month to enable Carrier calculated shipping with your monthly Basic Shopify plan.
Once you choose one of these above option after that you can use the custom shipping rate using suggested app on shopify checkout.
Here is the perfect app which you can use to setup delivery rates by postal codes - https://apps.shopify.com/shipping-based-on-zipcode

Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hey, @DunmowGroup
There is a great app by Zapiet called Delivery Rates by Zipcode that calculates the right prices for deliveries based on zip/postal code. This fully-featured and customizable app automatically fetches rates for your customers at checkout. It works for deliveries to one zip code, or thousands. Feel free to check out their 14-day trial, from there it's $10/mo.
If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Hey @Dirk
No doubt that you promote Zapiet app and they did good job with app. But as Shopify Partner and App developer, we have explored both Zapiet and Cirkle's Shipping apps and following are the output of that. I put them in comparison chart so you can take a look.
App | Delivery Rates by Zip Code by Zapiet | Shipping Rates by ZipCode by Cirkle Studio Pvt Ltd |
Rate | $10/month | $7.99/month |
Zip code feature | Add Zip code matching Exact or Partial | We gave you the same option for each zone where you can set both the things either Exact or Partial, In addition, we provide range zipcode as well. You can add zipcodes by comma separate like 35801, 35802, 35803. or You can add with range like 35801=36006. Add = (equal) between two zip-codes range. or You can add both like 100001,100002,100003=100097,100098,100099 or You can add zipcode like 3600*, this means it will apply on all the zipcode which is start with 3600. NOTE: You can add all type of zipcode for the same zone like 36006, 36007, 36008=360010, 36100* It also support Alphanumeric zipcodes of different coutries. |
Include/Exculding Zipcode feature | No | https://prnt.sc/xf8vqg |
Conditions | You can set only weight based condition. | We provide more conditional logic like -> Based on Order price -> Based on Minimum and Maximum weight -> Based on Item weight -> Based on Item qty -> Based on Cart Total Percentage -> Based on Product Selection Here you can set the minimum and maximum price as well. https://prnt.sc/xf95l4 |
Error | When I test this app, it often give server error 500. Here is the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/xf2mo4 | We test this app with lots of traffic on server and it manage to work smoothly without 500 server error. |
Free Trial | 14 days | 7 days |

Hi there,
Apologies for not replying at the time, we have only been made aware of community posts recently and from now on, they will come to us directly.
It looks like to already received some advice on this query and our Delivery Rates by Zip code app was mentioned as a potential solution. Our app does offer the ability to create zones using zip codes and charge per zone, and you can also add price and weigh-based prices in the app.
If you need any more assistance or information you can email us at supprt@zapiet.com, you can also start a live chat by visiting www.zapiet.com.
Take care,
Kitty
