Decrease abandoned carts

Shipping Rates Calculator Plus displays shipping costs to your customers in the shopping cart. It makes your customers feel more confident about the checkout process and increases the usability of your store. Everything happens automatically with zero effort for you or your customer.

Why should I display shipping rates in the shopping cart?

According to the UPS Pulse of the Online Shopper Survey, "44% of shoppers abandoned a cart because they wanted to get an idea of total costs (including shipping) to compare before buying". When questioned about "Reasons for abandoning shopping carts", 34% answered, "Shipping and handling costs were listed too late during the checkout process". Showing shipping rates upfront is key because it reduces friction and enhances the customer experience.

How does it work?

The app auto-detects your customers' location using a precision IP database. It then queries the Shopify API to get the different shipping options for that location.

How do I configure my shipping rates?

Shipping Rates Calculator Plus displays your shipping rates exactly as they are configured in your Shopify admin. The app cannot be used to configure shipping rates, only display them. The shipping rates have to be configured in advance in your Shopify admin.

How are the shipping rates displayed?

The shipping rates are displayed on your shopping cart page, with a map showing the customer location and the option to select a different location. If there are several shipping options for a location, all options and their rates are displayed. If real-time carriers are configured, estimated delivery dates provided by your carrier are also displayed. Now that carrier-calculated shipping rates are available for all stores in the US and Canada, the Shipping Rates Calculator Plus app is the perfect match!
