Best for shipping rates and delivery dates at checkout
ShipperHQ sets the shipping rates your customers see at checkout, with rules, several warehouses and delivery dates. Every plan caps carriers, rules, origins and orders, and the useful tiers are expensive: $75 a month for 200 orders, $350 for 1,000. Small stores with flat rates don't need this.
Who ShipperHQ is for
- Fits if you sell bulky or freight items and need rates worked out at checkout
- Works for stores shipping from several warehouses or dropshippers
Who ShipperHQ is not for
- Skip it if flat-rate shipping already does the job
- Tight if you have more than 200 orders a month, since that's the Essentials cap
- Pricey if you need 4 carriers or 20 rules: Standard is $350 a month
- Watch out: prices come from the Shopify App Store, and the company's own plans page showed no prices or an Essentials plan
- Watch out: advanced features are limited per plan and human support starts on Advanced
Why ShipperHQ gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for money$75 a month for 200 orders against a category middle of $20. The plan with 4 carriers and 20 rules is $350, which is far above the middle.
- DFree plan and trial15-day free trial on Shopify plans, and the listing doesn't say whether it needs a card. No free plan.
- CFeaturesCheckout rates, rules, multiple origins and delivery dates. It covers that one job, but Essentials allows 2 carriers, 5 rules and 1 origin.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You build the shipping rules yourself.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, with Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, Magento and UPS, FedEx, USPS and DHL on the list.

Keep it
Nothing ShipperHQ does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 2 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 22 of the 33 other shipping software grade higher. It costs $900 a year.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, BigCommerce and Adobe Commerce among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. ShipperHQ’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. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
