Topic summary

A merchant selling non-perishable foods needs to restrict shipping options for SeaMoss gel, a perishable product that requires delivery within 2 days to prevent expiration.

Core Issue:

  • USPS Priority Mail (which can take longer than 2 days) must be hidden for SeaMoss gel only
  • Other products should retain all shipping options
  • The merchant doesn’t have Shopify Premium, limiting access to certain third-party apps

Proposed Solution:
A developer recommends using the ShipRight app, which works on the merchant’s current Shopify plan:

  1. Create a new rule in ShipRight
  2. Add a condition targeting specific products
  3. Set to “Hide if found” and select the SeaMoss gel product
  4. Choose USPS Priority Mail as the method to hide
  5. Save the configuration

This conditional shipping rule would automatically hide slower shipping methods when SeaMoss gel is in the cart while keeping all options available for other products. The discussion remains open with no confirmation whether the solution was implemented.

So I’m going to be selling a TON of non perishable foods in my store and want to offer shipping wherever for them, except the SeaMoss gel i sell is a perishable food and if i use any shipping method thats longer then 2 days it might take to long and expire before it arrives. So how would i be able to remove USPS priority mail for the SeaMoss gel while still keeping the delivery option available for other products. Or how would i set a custom rate for only the certain products. I don’t have shopify premium so i cant just use a third-party app to simplify the process.

Hello,

You can hide USPS Priority Mail for your SeaMoss gel product using the ShipRight app in your existing Shopify plan. Here’s how:

  1. Open the app and click the “Add a new rule” button.
  2. Click “Add a new condition” and select “Products” .
  3. Choose “Hide if found”, then add your SeaMoss gel product in the “Products” field.
  4. Select “USPS Priority Mail” in the “Additional shipping methods” field.
  5. Save the rule by clicking the “Save” button.

Now, USPS Priority Mail will be hidden for orders containing the SeaMoss gel, ensuring it ships only via faster methods.
