ShipMagic Help for Shopify: Rate Rules, Carrier Quotes and Pickup

ShipMagic is a Shopify shipping rate app from Speedy Squirrel that builds checkout rates from rules: ZIP code, weight, cart total, product tags, customer, distance, metafields and more than 25 parameters in all. It can quote live rates from your own carrier account, blend rates for mixed carts and pack items into boxes by volume. As of October 2026, paid plans run $14 to $59 a month, with a free sandbox for testing. A flat or ZIP-based rate is a self-serve job. Specialists come in when the rules stack up: carts shipping from several origins, carrier quotes that depend on accurate box sizes, and rates that must be hidden or renamed by market. As of October 2026, 5 experts carry the ShipMagic badge on shopexperts: 1 agency and 4 freelancers, based in Argentina, Canada and Pakistan. Open with a sheet of what you charge today, by zone and product type, plus three carts that price wrong at checkout now.

ShipMagic builds that justify paying a specialist

Simple rules take an afternoon. These are the jobs where a wrong rate costs money on every order.

Rate card to rule set. Turning written pricing into ShipMagic rules: zones, weight bands, free-shipping thresholds and surcharges, in the right order, plus a check of what checkout shows when no rule matches.

Carrier quotes that match the parcel. Live rates come from your own carrier account, and ShipMagic packs items with a 3D bin-packing step. Box sizes and product dimensions have to be right first, or every quote is off.

Mixed carts. Rate blending merges rates from several rules or profiles into one. Someone has to decide whether a bulky item plus a small accessory pays the higher rate, the sum or a set figure.

Local delivery and pickup windows. Distance rates, in-store pickup, pickup scheduling, cutoff times and blocked dates, each checked against real locations and staff hours.

Checkout rate cleanup. Hiding, renaming and reordering rates by condition, such as blocking PO Boxes for a carrier. For wider checkout work, bring in checkout customization experts.

Rates before checkout. ShipMagic's docs say its API can show rates on custom pages such as cart and product pages. That is development work, a fit for API integration developers.

Where Speedy Squirrel covers it. The developer offers a free setup call and human onboarding support, and Pro+ includes a developer for coded rate logic. One flat rate needs no freelancer.

Briefing a ShipMagic specialist: questions and test carts

Shipping rules fail quietly: a cart prices low, nobody notices, and margin leaks for weeks. Hire the person who proves each rate before shoppers see it.

Ask for their test cart list. Before building, they should name the carts they will price: heaviest item, lightest, mixed origin, a remote ZIP code, a PO Box and an international address. Each result gets compared with your rate card.

Ask which ShipMagic plan fits. Starter only changes rates already at checkout; live calculated rates start on Pro. Someone who skips that question will quote the wrong subscription.

Ask about weights and boxes. Carrier quotes depend on product data. A good answer includes an audit of missing weights and dimensions before live rates go on.

Ask how they use the sandbox. The free plan runs the whole app in test mode. Careful builders configure and test there, then upgrade on the day of switchover.

Shipping quotes to push back on. No written rule list, testing on live orders, or a custom-code estimate for logic Pro+ already includes from the vendor.

Start with one zone. Pay for a single zone or product type rebuilt in the sandbox, with a rule sheet and ten test carts. It shows their method before the full rate card moves.

ShipMagic Shopify plans, CCS and setup limits

Plans as of October 2026. Free is a sandbox: the full app in test mode, with nothing live. Starter at $14 a month ($140 a year) puts customizations live: conditional hide, rename and reorder. Pro at $29 ($290 a year) puts calculated rates live, with carrier rates, advanced blending and the Developer API. Pro+ at $59 ($590 a year) adds custom coded rate logic from a Speedy Squirrel developer. Paid plans carry a 14-day trial.

CCS decides the plan. The listing says customizations need no CCS, but calculated rates do. Confirm your Shopify plan offers carrier-calculated shipping before paying for Pro.

How it hooks into checkout. The app asks for access to Shopify Functions delivery customizations, order shipping details and Shopify Markets settings. Recheck rates per market after any Markets change.

Carriers listed. Australia Post, Direct Freight Express, FedEx, Shiprocket, Stallion Express and USPS. Live quotes use your own carrier credentials.

Enterprise items. Multi-currency, multi-language rates and multi-store setups are grouped as enterprise features on the listing. Ask the vendor which plan covers them before scoping a multi-store build.

Age and language. ShipMagic launched in July 2023 and the listing names English only. Check its changelog for recent fixes before relying on a newer feature.

ShipMagic Shopify questions: plans, carriers and switching

Is ShipMagic free?

The free plan is a sandbox. It runs the full app in test mode, so you can build and check rules, but shoppers see nothing. As of October 2026, live rate customizations start on Starter at $14 a month and live calculated rates on Pro at $29, each with a 14-day trial.

Does ShipMagic need carrier-calculated shipping on my Shopify plan?

Only for calculated rates, according to the listing. Hiding, renaming and reordering existing rates works without it. If your plan lacks carrier-calculated shipping, sort that out with Shopify before you pay for Pro, or the rules you build will have nowhere to show.

Can ShipMagic quote from my own FedEx or USPS account?

Yes. Its docs say live carrier rates come from your own account, and the listing names FedEx and USPS among its carriers. Quotes are only as accurate as product weights, dimensions and box sizes, so fix catalog data before you trust live rates.

How do I move my rates from another shipping app?

Rebuild rather than import. Export or screenshot your current rate table, recreate it in the ShipMagic sandbox, then price the same test carts in both apps side by side. Switch at a quiet hour and remove the old app only after a day of matching live rates.

Do I need a developer for ShipMagic?

Not for standard rules: the listing says rates and rule conditions need no coding. A developer helps when rates must appear on product or cart pages through the API, or when several origins and carriers interact. For logic no rule can express, Pro+ includes a Speedy Squirrel developer.

What do I send before a ShipMagic project starts?

Your current rate card, Shopify plan, carriers and account access, shipping locations, and the markets you sell to. Add a note on how complete your product weights and dimensions are, plus the carts that price wrong today.
