How to set up Rates at checkout on Shopify

Connect Bob Go to Shopify so your configured shipping rates can be displayed to customers during checkout.

To display Bob Go shipping Rates at checkout on Shopify, Shopify's Third-Party Carrier-Calculated Shipping Rates feature must first be enabled on your store.

Once this is available, you can connect Bob Go as the carrier app and enable your Shopify channel for Rates at checkout in Bob Go.

1. Enable third-party carrier-calculated shipping rates

Shopify's Third-Party Carrier-Calculated Shipping Rates feature allows an external shipping provider such as Bob Go to return shipping rates during checkout.

This feature is included by default on the Advanced and Plus Shopify plans.

If you are on another Shopify plan, contact Shopify Support and request that Third-Party Carrier-Calculated Shipping Rates be enabled on your account.
