Cart Shipping Calculator
Show real shipping rates in the cart before checkout. Set clear expectations and reduce abandoned checkouts caused by unexpected shipping fees.
What it does
- Shows live shipping rates in the cart — shoppers see costs before they reach checkout.
- Auto-detects location; shoppers can enter a ZIP/postal code if needed.
- Works with most themes out of the box; lightweight and fast.
- Privacy-safe and clean to uninstall.
Benefits
- Fewer surprises → fewer abandoned carts.
- Clear pricing earlier in the journey.
- Builds shopper trust before checkout.
- No developer time — install and go.
Setup & App Embed
- After install, open Online Store → Themes, then click Edit theme on your current theme.
- Under App embeds, turn on Cart Shipping Calculator.
- Open your storefront cart and confirm live rates appear (Geo-IP or after entering a postal/ZIP code).
If the embed is turned off later, the app remains installed but won’t appear until re-enabled in the theme editor.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure at least one item is added to the cart before testing. The Cart Shipping Calculator only activates when a cart exists.
- Confirm the Cart Shipping Calculator embed is turned on in the Theme Editor.
- Refresh your cart page after saving theme changes, or test in a new incognito window.
- Verify at least one active shipping zone/rate in Settings → Shipping and Delivery.
