Hi There

 

Does anyone know of any way to add shipping rates through uploading a CSV?

 

We have a complicated shipping rates matrix from our warehouse and adding them manually takes ages.

 

If its not something that can be done through an existing module then would be happy to look at getting it custom created by a developer (if that's even possible).

 

Thanks

Paul

While importing products, add extraordinary Tag then importing is done, Go to Product > Inventory > Add filter > Type your extraordinary tag and search. After that, download the result. Change warehouse with excel or gsheet, import inventory again. Wohala, your warehouse change to other.

What does this have to do with shipping rates? 

 

P.S. I think you meant to type "Voila" not Wohala.

Hi, @Paul66!

 

I recommend CSR app.
CSR can set your shipping rates table via CSV file.
And when you need edit shipping rates, you can edit them easily to upload the new CSV file.

I hope it will be helpful.

It's a shame that CSR costs $15.90 per month, especially given that most shipping changes are made annually at most. That equates to about $200 to upload a CSV each year. Not great, but there are not many alternatives out there...

What a small world, I've purchased from your store in the past! But yes, the fact CSR is $15.90 plus needing an Advanced Plan at £259/mo makes it unaffordable for a small business owner such as myself.

Small world indeed! 😁

 

Shopify should really be providing this functionality as part of the existing subscription. It's basic stuff, really. The fact that it's not included means that the 3rd party developers can charge almost whatever they like!

Hey:) We did a csv import app that does not have recurring charges and does not need the Advanced Plan, it's at: https://apps.shopify.com/toolify-shipping 🙂

Royal Mail updates their pricing yearly. Currently I'm having to update over 70 shipping rates manually because Shopify has no way of bulk updating them. In contrast my client was previously on IONOS and their system pulls in the prices from RM automatically so always gets the most up to date pricing.

 

How can Shopify claim to be "The platform commerce is built on" when it doesn't even offer something as simple as this.

Hi everybody,

Just wanted to let you all know we are in the process of creating a Shopify app that allows you to import shipping rates through CSV files. In addition, we are adding multiple direct API connections to multiple carriers and shipping platforms to import the rates directly from them. After the import, you can create shipping profiles, group shipping zones based on locations and/or rates, you can round your shipping rates to any number you want, add a margin markup percentage to cover any unexpected cost. Most of the work has already been done, but I would love to hear and understand your requirements when it comes to the CSV import. 

 

If you are interested in our new app and are willing to share your requirements, please email me and I will come back to you. You can reach me at sander@theecommercespecialist.com

 

Thanks in advance
Sander

Hi All,

 

Just wanted to let the Shopify Community know that we are currently finalizing a new Shopify app. The Shipping Rate Importer app allows you to import your carrier rates to Shopify through a direct Sendcloud api connection or a csv upload. More direct API options are coming soon. We are currently looking for beta testers, if you are interested, please fill in the below form 🙂

https://beta.shipping-rate-importer.com/

 

Some more information about the Shipping Rate Importer shopify app.

This tool allows you to import and structure your shipping rates from multiple carriers, and easily export them to your Shopify store

 

  • Import your carrier rates through direct API imports or through a .csv file.
  • Filter which carriers and countries to export to Shopify and show on your checkout.
  • Adjust shipping prices and set variable prices, round prices or add a markup margin.
  • Create and review shipping profiles before exporting, and disable individual rates for specific regions or countries based on your needs.
  • Select your products and locations, and export them to your store in one click!
  • Periodic fetching of carrier rates through setup APIs to make sure you're up-to-date
  • The importer can send you detailed reports of shipping cost changes

It's been almost 4 years. I don't think shopify will ever have this feature on. Seems like a time to switch platform..

It is CSR (https://apps.shopify.com/csv-shipping-rates).
CSR supports to upload your own's shipping rates CSV file.

Doesn't look like it unfortunately.

 

To all those posting 3rd party apps as solutions for this issue also look further back previous 'solutions' that are no longer found as they have been abandoned. This function needs to be in the core of the product not a 3rd party app. In addition this being a 3rd party app if the api delays it will seriously impact conversion rate on the shop store at the most critical step of the sale. IT MUST be part of the core product.

 

Why is this so hard to develop it's not some major feature - you have a table internally just make an interface to edit it / upload to a csv. I had posted previously an even more ideal option to just have rate of item + weight calc but clearly that's never going to happen.

 

Dear shopify - our next renewal is up june 2023 and we normally update for 3 years the 2133 USD option. We are going to have to evaluate whether to update this time or move on. Not liking the absence of response or any sign of interest on this of late.

I've been asking Shoppify for years, but they don't seem to have any plans to do this.
So, I started looking for an app.
However, this was the only app that allowed me to set up a table of shipping rates by weight and region from a CSV file.
I installed the app and was able to set the correct shipping rates for all regions of the world.
So I'm just trying to make that known.
