Is there an easy app for flat rate shipping calculations?

AI-generated summary

A drop shipper needs an app to calculate flat-rate shipping costs for their Shopify store. Each product has a fixed shipping fee, and some products qualify for combined/blended rates when multiple items are ordered together (e.g., up to x products for one flat rate). The merchant doesn’t need zone-based, weight-based, or carrier comparison features since their fulfillment house handles logistics and everything ships via USPS.

Recommended Solution:

  • ShipMagic app was suggested, which supports “incremental rates” for this use case
  • Free for limited usage; paid plans available for higher volume
  • Includes live chat support for setup assistance

Important Note:
Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) must be enabled in the Shopify store for third-party shipping rate apps to function. CCS is free on Shopify Plus, Advanced, or annual billing plans; otherwise costs $20/month.

Hi all.

I am a drop shipper, meaning I collect the shipping on the product but my fulfillment house handles all the logistics of fulfillment.

Is there an easy app to calculate rates? All my rates are “flat” (not by country, state, or zone, or size/volume/weight) and each product has a fixed shipping cost. Some products DO get “combined” for shipping (up to x products for one flat rate) but I do not need “blended” rates (each class of product ships separately.)

What’s an easy way to do this? I don’t need shipping services or comparison rates (everything is shipped USPS.)

Thanks,

Hal

Hi @haljaygreene ,

You can checkout our app ShipMagic. You can easily do the type of shipping you need (up to x products in one order for one flat rate) using our app. We call it incremental rates in our app.

Our app is also free to use for a limited amount of time. We also have live chat support present inside the app to assist you in setting up the app.

Just an FYI: All shipping rate apps like ours need you to have CCS enabled on your store. CCS is free if you are on the plus, advanced or Shopify (annual billing only) plans. Otherwise you have to pay $20 per month to get it enabled.
