One shipping fee for items from multiple locations

Topic summary

A merchant is experiencing an issue where Shopify doubles the shipping fee when customers purchase items from multiple inventory locations. They want to charge only a single flat rate regardless of how many locations are involved.

Current Setup:

  • Store uses both flat-rate and carrier-calculated shipping at checkout
  • Products ship from different locations, triggering duplicate shipping charges

Proposed Solutions:

Two app developers offered potential fixes:

  1. Shipping Based on Zipcode app - Supports single flat rate for multi-location carts, but requires Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) to be enabled

  2. ShipMagic app - Uses Shipping Customization rules to prevent double charging; works on Basic Shopify plan but only supports flat rate shipping

  3. Bespoke Shipping app - Offers solutions for both scenarios:

    • Flat rates: Works WITHOUT CCS (Basic plan compatible)
    • Live rates: Requires CCS (minimum ‘Shopify’ plan, free with annual billing)

Status: Multiple solutions available depending on plan level and shipping method preferences. Discussion remains open for implementation.

Hello @maddymiasmith

It is possible via APP but it is required to enable CCS on the store before using an app.

May i know do you have enabled CCS on your store?
