Topic summary
A merchant needs to implement quantity-based shipping rates (e.g., £10 for one item, £15 for two) but discovered that enabling storefront shipping with Parcelify requires Shopify’s Advanced plan at £344/month—far exceeding their needs.
Alternative solutions offered:
-
Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS): Can be enabled on Shopify’s Basic plan for an additional $20/month, avoiding the Advanced plan requirement.
-
App recommendations: Multiple participants suggested shipping rate apps that handle quantity-based pricing on lower-tier plans:
- ShipMagic: Offered by a developer seeking beta testers (free trial)
- ShipEZ: Positioned as a low-cost alternative
- Better Shipping and ShipX: Both support quantity-based rules, regional pricing, and rate caps without requiring plan upgrades
The merchant expressed interest in trying ShipMagic. The discussion remains open, with no confirmation of which solution was ultimately adopted.
