All things Shopify and commerce
I am using the Basic plan on Shopify and I will be shipping products via DHL. So I want my customers to see DHL shipping rates on my checkout page.
I have discussed with DHL, they said to do this, it will have to be done through a third-party app and will require a Premium/Plus plan on Shopify.
I don't want to go to Premium/Plus on Shopify. How can I do this from the Basic plan? Can anyone help me?
Hi @Fayed_Bd!
Yeah, you’re right—Shopify’s live shipping rates at checkout are usually locked behind the Advanced and Plus plans. But don’t worry, there’s a way around it!
On the Shopify plan, you can get carrier-calculated rates if you reach out to Shopify support and ask them to enable it. They’ll do it for an extra $20/month or for free if you switch to annual billing. So, that’s one option to consider!
Upon that to make things even smoother, you can use our multi-carrier shipping label app (a shopify shipping solution) that connects directly with your DHL account. This not only allows you to show live DHL rates at checkout but also lets you:
This way, you get full control over your shipping process without upgrading to an Advanced/ Plus Shopify plan!
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any details.
