Calculating shipping rates based on location using Shiprocket

Retired Boards Appdev Extensions

Topic summary

Goal: enable location-based shipping cost calculation via Shiprocket during checkout.

Current behavior: Shiprocket is integrated for ordering and tracking via its panel. In Shopify (Settings > Shipping and Delivery > Add rate > Use carrier or app to calculate rates), no Shiprocket option appears, so checkout doesn’t auto-calculate shipping by customer location.

Key clarification: Shopify does not natively support Shiprocket live rates at checkout.

Proposed solution:

  • Install a third-party shipping rates app that surfaces Shiprocket rates (example: ShipMagic).
  • Ensure CCS (carrier-calculated shipping) is enabled on the store to allow any third-party rate provider at checkout.

Outcome/status: No built-in Shopify option available. Actionable next steps provided (use a compatible app and enable CCS). Confirmation that this resolves the issue has not yet been reported; discussion remains open.

Hi @mvs_28 ,

Shopify does not support Shiprocket natively. You need to use an app like ShipMagic to show Shiprocket’s rates on your checkout page.

Please be informed that in order to use any third party shipping rate app in Shopify, you need to have CCS enabled on your store.
