We recommend using apps like Advanced Shipping Rules when you need more complex delivery and shipping rates, like product-based rates, zipcode based rates or any other more advanced scenarios.

If you would like Advanced Shipping Rules rates to show only when your customers select delivery or shipping in our widget, then we would recommend integrating Advanced Shipping Rules within the Rates tab of Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery.

Advanced Shipping Rules can be used for your delivery and/or shipping rates.

Integration steps will be slightly different, depending on the Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates version that you're using:


Requirements

  • In order to use third-party app's rates, Shopify requires you to have Carrier service API enabled. Read more in our Carrier service API article.


Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates

Ensure that Advanced Shipping Rules is added to your Shopify shipping profile.

Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates can be integrated with any third-party rates app that allows you to edit the rates delivery code.

We suggest reaching out to the Advanced Shipping Rules customer support team. Ask them to set the rate delivery code to include spd-delivery for delivery rates, spd-pickup for pickup rates, or spd-shipping for shipping rates.

In order to integrate Advanced Shipping Rules with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery, you will need to find your unique API key.

  1. In the Advanced Shipping Rules app, click Settings.

  2. Copy the API key.
