A merchant wants to display fixed shipping rates (€4.99 under €80, free above €80) on the cart page before customers enter their address, since they only ship to one country. They provided a screenshot example showing the desired implementation.
Current limitation: Shopify requires customers to enter a full shipping address during checkout before revealing the actual shipping cost, even when only one shipping region exists.
Suggested solutions:
Community frustration: Another user echoed this concern, noting that automatic shipping rate display before address entry is standard practice across e-commerce platforms. They criticized Shopify for not addressing this basic feature despite high subscription costs, calling it poor service that makes merchants appear unprofessional when the true total is only revealed mid-checkout.
hey guys i’m only delivering in one country (my home country) and i have only one fix shippingrate which is 4,99 € is it possible to show this somehow on the cart page and without entering the shipping adress? many german stores and other shop CMS have this feature but i can not find it on shopify: perfect would it be like in the example below: i just selected the product and put it in my cart, this is the cart page without entering any adress so far:

Does your shipping fee just one amount fixed only or will many fee level that depend address or total amount cart?
it should be 4,99 € below 80 € cart amount then from 80 € free shipping
Hi @marvinsignpoint , This can be achieved with custom coding. Alternatively, you might consider using a cart upselling app. This way, customers can see the shipping rates as written information and also find out how they can qualify for free shipping. It could enhance their shopping experience.
If you find this helpful, please let me know by giving it a like and accepting it as a solution. Thank you.
Im in the same position; one shipping region, 2 shipping rates based on cost. The checkout knows the customers shipping automatically because its the only one available. But the customer still has to enter a specific address before they (hopefully) notice the total has suddenly changed from the previously displayed amount. It should be easy to change this or for shopify to correct this?
Wrong. Its just another one of those things that should be simple but is incredibly difficult/impossible to do on Shopify and will apparently never improve despite the extortionate subscription rates we pay. Its weird considering having shipping rates display automatically in carts before entering a specific address is standard practice. The fact that the true cost isn’t revealed to our customers until they’re partway through the Checkout section just seems like bad service on our end but really it’s shopify putting us in this position.
Instead of addressing this issue, I’ve seen shopify admins question users on why they would need this feature (despite this being the norm for every online checkout I’ve ever used). Absolutely appalling service.
