4SELLERS Shipping Rules

4SELLERS Shipping Rules replaces Shopify's flat-rate and weight-based shipping with rules you define yourself. A rule combines zones, methods, rate tiers, restrictions and product classes into one condition-based decision — and tells you, per criterion, why it applied or why it did not.

Core features​

  • Shipping classes — group products (for example Standard, Fragile, Bulky goods) and charge a surcharge per class.
  • Shipping zones — define delivery areas by country, postal code and postal code range.
  • Shipping methods — the options your customers pick at checkout, such as Standard or Express.
  • Shipping rules — the core of the app: link zones, methods and classes with rate tiers and AND/OR restriction groups.
  • Preview — run any cart through your setup in the admin before it goes live.

Where your data lives​

Your rules, zones, methods and shipping classes are stored as metaobjects in your own Shopify store, not in a database of ours. The only thing on our servers is the authentication session for your store. Details: Privacy Policy.

Before you start​

The app registers a carrier service in your store. Shopify only forwards checkout requests to a carrier service if your store is eligible for third-party calculated shipping rates. If the registration fails, that is almost always the reason — see Troubleshooting.
