Hi, Are the shipping rates that come through third-party carrier calculated rates lower than Discounted Shopify shipping rates? Thank you
Hi @Eugene_EU
This is a good question. Unfortunately there is no perfect answer.
Rates from all carriers will fluctuate based on your volume of orders, location and shipping requirements. As well, higher tier Shopify plans offer larger shipping discounts. From my experience, Shopify shipping is a good spot to start as you test your shipping setup. But many apps offer great shipping rates as well and may also provide a greater variety of carriers to choose from. PirateShip, Shippo, Ship Station are a few examples. But check out your options on the app store and see which ones have the best options and pricing for your needs and location.

Do you know if I can integrate Pirateship with Shopify with my basic plan?
Thank you again.
Hi
Unfortunately, in order to use Pirate Ship or any other third-party shipping app, you need Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS), which is available as a $20 USD/month add-on on the monthly Shopify plan or for free on the annual Shopify plan, monthly Shopify Advanced plan.
