The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Lite is $9 a month, inside the cheapest quarter for shipping tools ($11 and under). Useful parts sit higher: package settings from $29, postal-code sub-zones from $59. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 7-day free trial in live mode and free, unlimited testing in test mode. No free plan after that. |
| Features | C | Rates by product group, carrier and rule-based rates, print-on-demand rates, blended rates and zone restrictions. Hide or Show conditions are missing on Lite, and customs and sub-zones need dearer plans. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You build the rate rules yourself inside Shopify. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Shopify only, with UPS, FedEx, USPS, Canada Post, Printful, Printify and Pixels rates. Web admin; no desktop or phone app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Shopify stores with several dropship vendors shipping at different rates
- Stores mixing print-on-demand products with their own inventory
- Merchants who need free shipping on some products and flat rates on heavy items
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.

Keep it
To replace Advanced Shipping Rules you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $108 a year.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- 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.
