Hi,

I’m on the Basic Shopify Plan, paying monthly.

I have ShipFee loaded, and all the rural delivery postcodes in New Zealand are loaded. I would like to be able to charge no delivery fee for delivery to non-rural addresses and a delivery fee to addresses with a rural post code.

How do I proceed from here?

I can’t see how to link the app and my instance of Shopify any further. It may be possible if I pay annually - I’m not sure.

Any help would be much appreciated.
