About the App
No. ShipCalc reads the shipping rates you already have set up in Shopify. You do not need to maintain a second rate table inside the app.
Shopify merchants who want shoppers to see delivery costs before checkout, want a Product Page or Cart Page calculator, and prefer to keep their shipping configuration in Shopify.
Installation and Setup
Install ShipCalc from the Shopify App Store. Once installed, open the app from your Shopify admin and follow the onboarding to add the storefront blocks.
No custom theme code is needed. You add the ShipCalc app block (or app embed) in the Shopify Theme Editor and save the theme.
On Product Pages, on the Cart Page, and inside compatible Cart Drawers. You choose which placements to enable from the Theme Editor.
ShipCalc supports compatible Cart Drawers. Some themes may need a custom drawer selector because every theme structures the drawer differently. We are happy to help configure this.
