Shopify Live Shipping Rates App Setup shows customers accurate carrier prices at checkout, for a fixed price of A$290. Flat rates often overcharge small orders and undercharge bulky ones, which costs you sales or margin. I set up a live rates app connected to your carriers, configure weights, boxes and rules, and test rates for metro, regional and overseas addresses.
