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-Calculated Shipping enabled. Read more in our Carrier-Calculated Shipping article.
All products that require shipping need to be marked as a Physical product in Shopify.
Enable Advanced Shipping Rules with Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery rates
Ensure that Advanced Shipping Rules is added to your Shopify shipping profile.
Advanced Shipping Rules for shipping rates
If you are only using Advanced Shipping Rules for shipping rates, then you do not need to add any service codes. All rates generated by Advanced Shipping Rules will be considered shipping rates by default.
Advanced Shipping Rules for delivery or pickup rates
Requirements
To edit service codes in Advanced Shipping Rules you must be on the Pro plan or higher in the Advanced Shipping Rules app.
If you are using Advanced Shipping Rules to generate delivery or pickup rates, you will need to add service codes to your rates, so Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery can filter the rates correctly. Any rates without a service code will show to your customers who select shipping in the Zapiet widget.
If you would like to use the same rate for both delivery and shipping, you need to duplicate it and add spd-delivery to one rate and spd-shipping to another rate. If you add both delivery codes to one rate, for example spd-delivery,spd-shipping it will not work.
If you offer multiple rates for delivery, you will need to add a numerical value at the end of each delivery code.
