Best for custom shipping rates on Shopify
Advanced Shipping Rules is a Shopify app for custom rates by product group, zone and carrier. Lite is $9 a month, but Hide or Show conditions are not on Lite, and package settings, customs and duties need Standard at $29. It also needs Shopify's real-time carrier rates, which is free on yearly billing or $20 a month otherwise.
Who Advanced Shipping Rules is for
- Fits if you run a Shopify store and need rates that vary by product group, zone or carrier
- Works for a print-on-demand shop that wants Printful or Printify rates at checkout
Who Advanced Shipping Rules is not for
- Not for you if you are off Shopify: it runs only there
- Tight if you use Lite: Hide or Show conditions are not included
- Watch out: Shopify must have real-time carrier rates, free on yearly billing or $20 a month a la carte
- Watch out: package settings, customs and duties need Standard, and sub-zones need Pro
- Watch out: the Shopify listing shows prices in the visitor's currency

Keep it

It costs $108 a year.
What you could not

- Suppliers who ship each order for you.
- Printers that make and ship each order.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. Advanced Shipping Rules’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is.

What is Advanced Shipping Rules?
Advanced Shipping Rules is a Shopify app from Bambri for setting checkout shipping rates by product group. It combines live carrier rates from UPS, FedEx, USPS and Canada Post with flat or table rates, supports Printful, Printify and Pixels rates, and can hide or restrict methods by zone.
Worth knowing
- It runs only on Shopify, and the vendor says Shopify must have the real-time carrier rates feature, which is free on yearly billing or $20 a month a la carte.
- Hide or Show conditions are not on Lite, and package settings, customs and duties need Standard or above.
- Sub-zones by postal code require the Pro plan or higher.
- The Shopify App Store listing shows prices in the visitor's currency; the figures here are the vendor's dollar prices.
